BOINC
Compute for Science

  • BOINC lets you help cutting-edge science research using your computer. The BOINC app, running on your computer, downloads scientific computing jobs and runs them invisibly in the background. It's easy and safe.

  • About 30 science projects use BOINC. They investigate diseases, study climate change, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research.

  • The BOINC and Science United projects are located at the University of California, Berkeley and are supported by the National Science Foundation.

[Einstein@home] A new Fermi Gamma Ray Pulsar Catalog has just been published!

The latest catalog of gamma-ray pulsars discovered in data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has just been published in the Astrophysical Journal (the article is linked here).

Einstein@Home and its methods (run on a dedicated computing cluster) have contributed 53 of the 294 confirmed pulsars listed in the catalog.  Even more impressive: about half of all pulsars ever discovered via their gamma-ray pulsations have been found by our project.

has 663736524 orthogonal mates which puts it on the 17th place of the rating which include now 5511 positions.

Now "high part" of spectra of ODLS-12 looks like this (square # 28 marked by red):


Thank you for project attention, support and donation of CPU time!
