Einstein@Home scheduler URL changed

October 09, 2014

The URL of the Einstein@Home scheduler was changed. Clients should automatically adjust to that, there is no real need for manual intervention. Until the Clients have recognized that change, you may see "file not found" error messages. The Clients should recognize the new scheduler URL after 10 such failures. If you want to speed things up, you may "update" the project manually a few times to skip the automatic backoff time.

Gravitational Wave S6 Directed Search (CasA) ending

August 13, 2014

We are nearing the end of the "S66CasA GW run". This means that only relatively few tasks of possibly remote frequency bands are available for this application, possibly resulting in an increased download volume per task. If you want to avoid this, you may opt-out of the "Gravitational Wave S6 Directed Search (CasA)" search in your Einstein@Home preferences on the web site.

Gravitational Wave search GPU App version

April 11, 2014

Due to the excellent work of our French volunteer Christophe Choquet we finally have a working OpenCL version of the Gravitational Wave search ("S6CasA") application. Thank you Christophe!

This App version is currently considered 'Beta' and being tested on Einstein@Home. To participate in the Beta test, you need to edit your Einstein@Home preferences, and set "Run beta/test application versions?" to "yes".
