'''SETI@home beta''', is a hibernating [[volunteer computing]] project using the [[Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing]] ([[BOINC]]) platform, as a test environment for future [[SETI@home]] projects:

* [[AstroPulse]] is a [[volunteer computing]] project searching for primordial [[black holes]], [[pulsars]], and [[SETI|ETI]]. AstroPulse clients have been tested by this project for nearly 6 years.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/old_news.php |title=SETI@home official site news, AstroPulse first seen on 2 Dec 2005 and first ran on 30 May 2007 |access-date=25 July 2013 |archive-date=21 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130521121114/http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/old_news.php |url-status=live }}</ref> It is already running on [[SETI@home]], testing new [[GPU]]/[[CPU]] optimized apps and performing other tasks.
* [[SETI Southern Hemisphere]] Search, which is another SETI@home project that was due to join BOINC.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brookheart |first=Johnny |date=2002-09-03 |title=BOINC - Future directions of SETI@home |url=https://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2002/09/1516-2/ |access-date=2024-08-29 |website=Ars Technica |language=en-us}}</ref> It was expected that this project would use a slightly modified version of the ''SETI enhanced'' client, as the [[Parkes Observatory]] has a [[feedhorn]] with more beams than the [[Arecibo Observatory]].{{cn|date=September 2022}}
