A couple of days ago Einstein@Home issued the last workunits from our first search of LIGO S5 data. The post-processing of these results will begin in a few weeks when the last result from these workunits is returned. Meanwhile we are gearing up to begin a new type of more sensitive search (called a hierarchical search). Unfortunately this is not yet ready. In the meantime we are extending the first S5 search to a larger range of spin-down ages than previously. We apologize for some problems that occured in the last few days as we finished one search and started another. We are still coping with some hardware problems, which complicated the transition. For further details please see this message board thread.

The Einstein@Home project was down for the last few days because of the continuing fileserver problems. Another server has been put in place for the primary fileserver and we hope this temporary solution will be stable.

The Einstein@Home project was down for the last couple days as a result of fileserver problems. The main fileserver has temporarily been replaced and we are hopeful the project will be more stable now.

The Einstein@Home project has been having database problems over the last two weeks. Your client will likely continue to have problems connecting to E@H until the problems are sorted out on our end. We are working on the problem and will try to have it solved as soon as possible.
Congratulations to everyone for surpassing a million credits!

The key features of this beta test App include:
This App has the possibility to manually override the automatic CPU detection. If you see the App getting an illegal instruction signal, please report the problem in the forum thread and create a file named "CPU_TYPE_0" in your BOINC directory. This will force the App to use the generic code instead of the SSE one.
