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.

Searching for pulsars in PALFA data from Arecibo, Welcome our new member, aubie88! & some Jibber Jabber (previous post flow control)
06 January, 2009 07:31 CST6CDTWelcome to our team aubie88! aubie88 has been an EINSTEIN@HOME contributor since 2005 and it looks like the computers have been crunching for other projects since 2001 From Ubuntu to FreeBSD, both great server and desktop environments.
I should provide a little background about the servers this site is hosted on.. We are using Redhat Enterprise, Ubuntu Server, and of course FreeBSD. Ubuntu server provides web related services only. It uses lighttpd (Lighty) as a web server and fast-cgi utilizing PHP and PERL amongst many other interesting light and fast technologies to serve you this post.
The FreeBSD server does almost everything else: SQL, SMTP, IMAP amongst many other external organization providers.
The data server has 12 Tier 1 Fibre channels on separate gateways. The data center has 2 weeks of diesel backup and 4 days of battery backup, state of the art cooling and fire suppression systems, a complete full time physical security team, and all access to the data center rooms and equipment use biometric entry.
This page is provided with a 100 mbit unregulated interface.
That's enough of my internals.. ;) What about you (post a comment and let us know you are amongst the living)?

The Einstein@Home project is starting limited public testing of a new pulsar search, which uses PALFA radio data from the Arecibo radio telescope. More information about this search will be released in the coming weeks. Message board threads have been started for scientific information about the search and for problems and bug reports concerning the new application. We will post another front page news item when we formally launch this new search on a larger scale.
You bet, this will use radio technology. Here is a PDF in which it contains more information for this method: JDeneva.pdf. - [Gerry Rough]

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.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

| 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:
Further details about these newly-discovered pulsars can be found on this web page, and will be published in due course.
