    Einstein@Home

    Just because my lurvely opteron rig doesn't like UD, I've signed up for the Einstein@Home project as part of Boinc & took the liberty of starting a Hexus team for those interested.
    <linky>

    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 and GEO gravitational wave detectors. Einstein@home is a World Year of Physics 2005 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.

    Oooh, a Linux client - I think I'll have to try that at some point!

    Yes, just add project in the Boinc manager. It'll default to 50/50 for 2 projects. Otherwise you can set it in the user preferences for whatever Boinc project's you're running.
