It's implemented now in the v1.28 beta app. you need to enable beta tasks to get this app. but it works, on Linux at least. you need openCL 2.0 drivers (465+). It'll be interesting to see if the Windows app works too.
Actually I was mistaken in thinking that I got the beta, even though I had it enabled.
It appears I was crunching 1.18, though they were faster than before. I don't know where we are.

yeah I just checked your tasks. The long running tasks were the GW tasks. You just crunched some Gamma Ray normal tasks which tend to be faster depending on the CPU used in the system (GW is CPU bound, GR is not)
When they shut down Seti@home I needed to find another project. I think it would be neat for my computer to discover something but the chances are slim.
Well, the real reason - I wouldn't want to play Word Link without any credits to my name!

I'm interested in astronomy, but my trade is computer science. So I'm kinda jealous seeing astronomers at work.
But Einstein@Home allows me to put my expertise into supporting interesting projects. I can only use my own cheap telescope that's not that useful in gaining new scientific and empirical knowledge, but our computers can. And idle processors are not productive processors.
I installed BOINC on quite some rigs over the last years...and my new home PC will probably be my biggest contribution yet. I started with SETI on my Pentium 166MMX and we've come a long way, both in science and computing.
And I'd like to see some new technologies like AVX2 or AVX512 used by Einstein@home, to make CPUs a bit more performant. These instructions should be applicable in some parts of the current projects.
It's not about glory or getting a name plate or sth for me. It just runs in the background....and makes me happy to think of my rig being part of a supercomputer that is part of bleeding-edge scientific work in a field I'm very interested in.
It appeals to me to be making some use of all those idle cpu and gpu clock cycles. Right now i'm "actually" using maybe 1% of the system capabilities, so it is nice to know the other 99% are doing something.
As an amateur astronomer it is personally rewarding to be involved in the expanding technology of gravity wave detection, and correlation with astrophysical processes. Will I be the one whose computer is credited with a major discovery? It sure would be nice. The chances, of course, are very slim - but NOT ZERO!
It is not directly E@H related but all of us are guinea pigs, or "Beta testers" if you prefer, in advancing the state of the art of distributed (network) computing. It is no small matter to organize, and manage, a BOINC project on the scale we see today. As a Seti refugee, I well remember those weekly Tuesday "maintenance" days. It boggles my mind just to think about coordinating a million hosts.
Does it keep me out of bars at night? Well, no problem there. But my internet modem does see 4 bars almost every night...
Joseph Weber published an article in Physical Review Letters in 1970 which had the title "Evidence for discovery of gravitational radiation". He was wrong, of course, his resonant mass detectors did not have the necessary sensitivity but Weber's idea, that of placing two or more detectors at great distance and considering only those events which appeared on all detectors, was correct and is still applied by LIGO and Virgo. I published an article by prof.Peter G. Bergmann, a former coworker of Einstein, in the 1970 Mondadori Yearbook of Science and Technology and placed an image of its detectors in the front page. The term "evidence" is difficult to translate and my managing editor titled the caption as "scoperte the onde gravitazionali". We were blasted by prof.Antonino Zichichi, an elementary particle physicist. We were only 45 years in advance So this is why I am running Einstein@home. I was right.
Now that I have the experts

Now that I have the experts here, I can ask: Can petri33 do something for GW too?

IMO yes but it will only ported to Linux so most will not benefit

they have not released a beta AMD app yet

I would like to know more about OpenCL. I think my build uses 1.2, and 2.0 and 3.0 are out.
Would a newer version be more efficient? Or, are are newer versions larger to handle game graphics?
