Just out of interest: Do you have a rough estimate how long the S4 postprocessing will take?
Weeks to months. Just in the past week we have finished a first postprocessing pass through the S4 results. But now we need to do some more tweaking and tuning, and then some followup studies. This is one of those activities where it seems as if the last 10% of the job takes 90% of the effort.
Thanks a lot for the information. It is really awesome how participants get involved here at E@H and how you guys from the project staff try to keep us informed about what's going on. :-)
And Dr. Bruce even answers questions on a Sunday! When does he take time for his family. Oh, he's a dedicated computer nerd like me, I guess.
The amount of work being done by all these new processors coming online has us projected to finish this portion of S5 in less than a year, now! WTG, everyone involved.
Actually it's worse than that - I've been doing scientific monitoring shifts at LIGO Hanford for the past six days, from 22:00 - 08:00 so I now sleep for most of the day!
I had a quick look at that site. It seems like some of the Nemo computers are already doing different things, at least some of the time? I just noticed the approximately 15% "user" CPU load on average (peaking 50% on some computers) in contrast to BOINC which is usually running "niced".

Oh the dreaded graveyard shift. If you stop by the corner liquor store for a beer on your way home do people look at you funny?

It doesn't appear that Einstein@Home needs my computers anymore.
*lol* I would say Einstein
