| Your personal background. |
I'm an astronomy PhD student at Edinburgh. I know Glasgow IGR through friends, notably Satoru.
At home I'm running this on a fast but economical conroe system (CPU: E6320 @ 7 x 475 MHz = 3325 MHz, chipset: iP965, RAM: 2x1GB DDR2-950 4-4-4-12). This box is on 24/7 as a database server for my work, so it may as well run boinc when idle. I've roped in a couple of fast machines at work that are not being used much at the moment (CPU: X2 6000+ @ 3.0 GHz, RAM: 2x1GB - fairly slow). |
| Your opinions about Einstein@Home |
Why do you run Einstein@Home?
the machines I'm running it on are on 24/7 anyway, so may as well do something useful. Also, I'd like to show that overclocking is not evil, it can lead to significantly better value scientific computing if done properly.
What are your views about the project?
will anyone ever detect a gravi-wave? still, it's probably a more realistic goal than looking for aliens... |
