Project Updates

And... their website is down now.

Last time I checked, they said Asteroids would be down until some major change could occur. It was a new datacentre or bunch of servers and was expected to take a long time.

Does anybody have any news about this project ?

This project has been retired.

According to us, boinc, or the admin of asteroids?

Been a bit of news from Asteroids that I missed and a new GPU application.

New asteroid models - corrigendum
After a while, let me announce our paper based on the Asteroids@home project. It was published last year in the Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/link_gateway/2022FrASS...909771D/PUB_HTML. We used ATLAS photometry and its bootstrap samples to derive rotation periods (no shape) for about 5000 asteroids.

The A@H project is currently processing data from ATLAS and Gaia together - that's what you are computing now.

Thank you all for your contribution!

P.S. Please ignore the previous news about the paper published in Astronomy and Astrophysics - its results were not based on A@H because, at that time, the server was down due to COVID and hardware issues. Sorry for the confusion.

New OpenCL application for AMD GPUs
Hi everyone,

We are proud to announce our new OpenCL applications for AMD GPUs!
Development process took some time but we finally managed to build it.
There are still many rough edges to be polished but thanks to you guys and to your feedback we'll continue to improve the code.

Linux application requires 64 bit OS with GLIBC v2.31 or higher and will run on most AMD Radeon GPU cards and some AMD Integrated Graphics with support of OpenCL 1.1 or higher.

Windows application requres 64bit Windows 10 or 11 and will run on most AMD Radeon cards and some AMD Integrated Graphics with support of OpenCL 1.2 or higher.

Happy crunching and thank you for your support!

Asteroids@home team
