    Well not yet, but I'm hopeful.

    Our team is about to start voting on the next project to be assaulted.

    Now I'd really like it to be Einstein, I voted for it in our last two assaults, but I think we need to sweeten the pot to make sure BOINC@AUSTRALIA chooses Einstein@home for all the extra science crunching we can bring to a project.

    Not to mention the responses from other teams around our ranking. :)

    I reckon if Prof. Bruce Allen throws his Cattle Station in with us for the 14 days, then Einstein is a shoe-in for our AA6 target!

    Lots of team members stay on after the AA too. ;-)

    What do you reckon Bruce, is it worth it?

    This scantily clad bribe was brought to you by BOINC@AUSTRALIA (see sig 8-).

    Hey, I'm open minded. Who wants me to do this?? And who wants me not to do this?? I'm listening (and laughing too).

    Cheers,
    Bruce

      OK, I'm in, at least for a little while!

      Cheers,

        Bruce of Melbourne here,
        All my machines have switched over to Einstein and have all the other projects set to no more work. Increased the cache to two days and doubled the resource share, so now it's two times 100% :-)

        Running down the last of the non-Einstein work units. Should be full on by tomorrow morning, my time (UTC + 11).

        I am also swithcing my machines for the run up to AA6.

        Bring on more processing of E@H units from BOINC@Australia.

          HI

          Bruce when Boinc Synergy Had Einstein as POTM (Project OF The Month) in February you did not join us in our effort. I (as myself not representing the team)find it distasteful that you would put your credits to any single team.
          You by yourself would be the 19th highest producing team why would you risk alienating all the other teams by putting your resources to just one ?
          If they are the department computers i also do not like my tax dollars used to compete with me. If they are your personal computers i apologize for the last and commend you for your personal dedication to the project.

          Thank you

          Hi Stanley,

          I'm sorry you are disappointed -- but if I had been directly asked to join some other effort I probably would also have responded positively. Anyway here is what I intend to do in the future. I will write a script that once per week joins me and all of my computers (primarily the computing cluster of my UWM research group) to a randomly selected active team.

          If anyone objects to this please explain why.

          Cheers,
          Bruce

            I'll hang around for a bit. I guess years of 'Bruce' jokes have made me favorably inclined to the Aussie point of view.

            Cheers,
            Bruce

              @Bruce: What led to the building of such a large cluster?

              I am not Bruce, but I can can answer two of these questions.

              Beowulf clusters are the primary way for the LSC to search for gravitational waves and before E@H beowulf clusters were the only way. The NEMO cluster you refer to is used for searching for inspirals, bursts and other aspects of data analysis. When no one else is using the cluster we run the E@H client on it.

              It turns out that even with large beowulf clusters you don't have enough computing power to a good search for pulsars. E@H only searches for gravitational waves from pulsars.

              Does the project need more computing power?

              Yes. The more computing power we have the further away we can "see" the pulsars.

              Would optimization or compilation into SSE3 specific binaries help?

              Bernd would have to answer this one. I don't work on the apps.
