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.

System Down Announcements, as of January 7th 2006

12 January, 2007 15:23 CST6CDT

January 7, 2006
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.

January 4, 2006
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.

December 29, 2006
The Einstein@Home project was down for the last day as a result of fileserver problems. The project should be totally back online by 18:00 UTC Dec 29.

December 28, 2006
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.

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

Einstein@Home uses your computer's idle time to search for weak astrophysical signals from spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors, the Arecibo radio telescope, and the Fermi gamma-ray satellite. Einstein@Home volunteers have already discovered more than a dozen new neutron stars, and we hope to find many more in the future. Our long-term goal is to make the first direct detections of gravitational-wave emission from spinning neutron stars. Gravitational waves were predicted by Albert Einstein almost a century ago, but have never been directly detected. Such observations would open up a new window on the universe, and usher in a new era in astronomy.

Einstein@Home volunteers discover three new radio pulsars in Arecibo data
Einstein@Home volunteers have discovered three new radio pulsars in Arecibo PALFA data -- the eighth, ninth and tenth new radio pulsars found by Einstein@Home volunteers in this data set! Congratulations to:
  • Peter van der Spoel, Utrecht, the Netherlands
  • Edvin Grabar, Pula, Croatia
  • Shadowfax, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
  • Cauche Nathanael
  • John-Luke Peck, TerraPower & Intellectual Ventures, Seattle, Washington, USA
  • Mark Henderson, Morristown, Tennessee, USA

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