EINSTEIN@HOME - Team FreeBSD

A team dedicated to the users of FreeBSD running BOINC under linux compatibility mode, or a native FreeBSD BOINC build. Team FreeBSD is dedicated to users of FreeBSD, but not limited to JUST the users. Anyone with the interest in developing a community of people interested in technology, open standards, NIX or BSD based operating systems are welcome and encouraged to earn credits and share ideas and conversation.

What's your BOINC host running / specs?

26 December, 2007 14:31 CST6CDT

I now have three systems crunching numbers for Einstein@Home.  Unfortunately the new host, my dedicated server, is Linux, but in the end it is all the same - crunching work units for our team.

What type of hosts are the rest of you using?

#1 - 2.6GHz Celeron, SATA HD, 865PERL/ICH5, 1GB Dual Channel memory

#2 - (my workhorse home server) Pentium III 1GHz, 256MB RAM, yet it is soo blazed

#3 - 3.2GHz Celeron, SATA2 HD, 1GB Dual Channel memory

For those of you wondering what the EINSTEIN@HOME Project is:

Einstein@Home is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational wave detector. It also searches for radio pulsars in binary systems, using data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 and an International Year of Astronomy 2009 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.

My name is Andy Wright - the founder, but really the creator of Team FreeBSD. If you want me to add any links, or have any questions or inclinations for such things related to our group (or to just say hi) - send me an e-mail: einstein@extracted.org or Skype name: extracted
