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.

Interesting Albert Einstein Quote & Welcome pachira!

The following quote may be interpreted in many different lights:

"I want to know how God created this world.  I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element.  I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details." -- Albert Einstein

[source]

Welcome to our team, pachira!  You are among friends!

Einstein Quote - Hawking [Reply]

Here is another with the source article URL:

"the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously". When asked if he believed in God, Einstein explained: "I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings."

''It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure'' -- Albert Einstein

Einstein@Home GPU Application for ATI/AMD Graphics Cards
After more than a year of work by Oliver Bock, Bernd Machenschalk, Heinz-Bernd Eggenstein and other developers, we are pleased to announce the release of the first Einstein@Home application for ATI/AMD Graphics Cards. This OpenCL application, which searches Arecibo data for new radio pulsars, is about a factor of ten faster than the same search running on a typical CPU. The application is currently available for Windows and Linux computers with Radeon HD 5000 or better graphics cards. We hope to have a version for Macintosh (Apple OS X 10.8, Mountain Lion) sometime this summer, but there are still some problems that need to be fixed or worked around. Volunteers who wish to run this application will need to install version 7.0.27 or later of the BOINC client. Please see this thread for more information, or if you want to ask questions. Many thanks to the AMD/ATI team for their support in the OpenCL software development effort. Bruce Allen Director, Einstein@Home

Einstein@Home volunteers discover three new radio pulsars in Arecibo data
Einstein@Home volunteers have discovered three new radio pulsars (J1901+0510, J1858+0319, and J1857+0259) in Arecibo PALFA data! Congratulations to:

• John A. Lorimer Jr. (USA)
• Ugur Munir Kir, Guzel Sanatlar Saatchi & Saatchi (Turkey)
• Philipp Kählitz (Germany)
• Termit (Russia)
• Philemon1752 (Switzerland)
• edgen (Russia)

Further details about these and our other newly-discovered pulsars can be found on this web page, and will be published in due course. Bruce Allen Director, Einstein@Home
