The Einstein@Home project has started a new search for binary radio pulsars in data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. This will run in parallel with the existing search for gravitational waves from rapidly-spinning neutron stars.
Too bad Einstein server has crapped itself for the past few days
From Einstein News Archive 23 Apr 09:
The database is still purging, at a rate of about 400,000 workunits per day. We expect that
this process will be completed by about 06:00 UTC tomorrow. At that time, we will do some additional
database maintenance (table optimization) and then restart the project. So in total about another 24
hours will still be needed to bring everything back to normal. Thanks again for your patience during
this unfortunate and long outage.

The Einstein@Home project is finally back up and running properly. The binary radio pulsar
search may not be sending out new work for a couple of more days while we fix some VPN
problems between the WU generator in Hannover and the project database in Milwaukee.
However the S5R5 gravitational-wave search IS sending out plenty of work.
Many thanks again to our loyal volunteers and contributors for their patience!

Over the weekend the VPN problems were fixed, so the Arecibo Binary Radio Pulsar search
is now also running correctly and sending out new work. So Einstein@Home has completely recovered and is
back in full operation again!
Confused by curved spaces? baffled by black holes? than you are ready for Einstein@ Home.
Einstein@Home uses computertime donated by people like us all over the world.
I thought you might like to watch a related short video about black holes click here (http://www.scienceface.org/clip.php?clip=5). It is a facinating subject.

The results of the first Einstein@Home search of (early) S5 LIGO data have been released on the arXiv.org e-print server.

Webpages describing the new Einstein@Home search for binary pulsars in Arecibo radio data are online now. Follow this link (http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/radiopulsar/html/index.php) to learn more about radio pulsars, how our new search works, and how it can help us searching for gravitational waves.

Einstein@Home is down as the result of a fileserver crash. I am working on repairing
the filesystem now but I do not have an estimate of how long this could take yet.
Further news will be posted here when we know more.
Thank you for your patience.

To date, the ongoing Einstein@Home search for binary pulsars in Arecibo radio data has re-discovered a number of known pulsars. Interested users can find some information about these on the (re-)discoveries page (http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/radiopulsar/html/rediscovery_page/rediscoveries.html). More information about the radio pulsar search may be found on this page (http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/radiopulsar/html/index.php).

QuoteOur main focus now is to try and speed up the application. E@H is currently processing about 18 minutes of Arecibo data per day. We think that, via various tricks, improvements, optimizations, and GPU-enablings, we can increase this processing speed by almost an order of magnitude, to about 2 hours/day. This would enable us to catch up on the PALFA data set (which on average is about an hour of data per day). Hopefully we can get many of these improvements working this summer and fall.

The Einstein@Home search for binary pulsars in Arecibo radio data has re-discovered four more known pulsars.
More information on these re-discoveries and four re-observations of pulsar J1903+0327 can be found on the (re-)discoveries page (http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/radiopulsar/html/rediscovery_page/rediscoveries.html). For information on the binary radio pulsar search please have a look at this page (http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/radiopulsar/html/index.php).

Einstein@Home is down as the result of yet another fileserver crash. We are
working on repairing the filesystem now but it will likely take a couple days
before the project is running again. Further news will be posted here.
Thank you for your patience.

The latest from the most recent file server crash debacle at Einstein:
Fri Aug 14 17:01:20 UTC 2009
QuoteThe first attempt to fix the filesystem failed and the second attempt is
underway. We will have more news in about 36 hours.
Today's latest from Einstien@Home and the recovery from the File Server Crash:
QuoteSun Aug 16 12:47:54 UTC 2009
The filesystem repair is finally moving forward as hoped. Step one is complete
and step two should finish in about 7 hours. If everything works out we should
be able to start bringing the project back online at that time.
Thank you again for your patience.

Einstein@home seems to be running smoothly again, in fact more smoothly than before, as a result of the new
database server configuration.

One would hope so - the most recent outage lasted more than a week.
2011-03-01: Einstein@Home - Einstein@Home Discovers New Binary Radio Pulsar
A new preprint reports the second Einstein@Home discovery, of a radio pulsar orbiting a white dwarf star once every 9.4 hours. The pulsar, called J1952+2630, is spinning on its axis 48 times per second. It was discovered in data collected at Arecibo Observatory in 2005 by the PALFA Collaboration. The white-dwarf companion star is unusually massive, and weighs at least 95% as much as our sun. This means that J1952+2630 probably belongs to a rare class of intermediate-mass binary pulsars (five were previously known).
Congratulations to the two Einstein@Home participants whose computers found J1952+2630 with the highest significance: Dr. Vitaliy V. Shiryaev (Moscow, Russia) and Stacey Eastham (Darwen, UK)! And a big "thank you" to all Einstein@Home volunteers, whose continuing support makes these exciting discoveries possible.

Dear Australia Einstein@Home volunteer,
A proposal has just been put forward to build one of the
Advanced LIGO detectors in Western Australia. Locating one of these
detectors in Australia would have a tremendous scientific impact:
it would enable more detections and improve our ability to identify
exactly where gravitational-wave signals are coming from. For
more information, please see this Science Message Board note:
http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=8851&sort=6
from Stan Whitcomb, the Director of LIGO-Australia. If you are
interested in the details, the note includes a pointer to the
full written proposal, which can be downloaded from the Internet.
Thank you for your contributions to Einstein@Home!
Sincerely,
Bruce Allen
Director, Einstein@Home

Cool. :thumbsup:
Found this on the web last night. Didn't know there were so many of the buggers.

Did you know, Doug is my uncle in law? :thumbsup:
He's the reason I found out about BOINC and joined the team :)
Yeah I've been bombarded with emails lately about privacy changes to all different accounts.
Haven't read any of them yet though :)
I don't fully understand what the message is telling me on Einstein though?

Einstein is in compliance with GDPR. BOINCStats requested and received a token from them so their stat's are being imported to BS. Don't know if Dyeman's import will be affected though.
