| Your opinions about Einstein@Home | |
| I run Einstein@home because I love the idea of contributing something to science -- even if it's only just some spare computer cycles. When I was younger, I was captivated by Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" series on television. And ever since, I've been fascinated by our universe and I yearn to explore it. Sadly, that's just not possible for me. But at least I can spare some compute cycles to help search for gravitational waves. SETI@home was my introduction to distributed computing and I think it's absolutely brilliant. It proved that a large distributed computing project was possible and practical. Einstein@home is definitely a worthy addition to my distributed computing contributions and I'm happy to help if I can. I had a little trouble creating and logging into my account. Gladly, that seems sorted now. For me it's not so much about bragging rights. I don't really care how much work is attributed to me. And, with my hardware, I'll never make the list of top 100 users. But it's fun to help nontheless. BOINC is brilliant. Thanks to BOINC, I'm able to contribute to protein prediction and climate prediction, too. BOINC ensures that my systems never want for worthwhile work to do. | |
