 Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2016 9:58 am Post subject: CPU & GPU PotM March 2016 => Einstein |
 |
|
After two very close votes, Einstein@Home is our project of the month of March for both CPU and GPU. This could be an interesting project due to the recent confirmation of Einstein gravity waves which this project is searching.
| Quote: | Did Einstein@Home play any role in this? No, it didn’t. The signal in the instrument lasted only about 1/4 of a second. It’s not a continuous-wave signal like the type that Einstein@Home has been searching for. But since the observing run ended in mid January, we have been preparing the data to start a new low-frequency all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves. We are now starting to run this on Einstein@Home, so please sign up your computers and disable their sleep mode! In the next months we will extend the frequency range of the continuous waves all-sky searches, target interesting point sources and we are also gearing up to perform broader surveys for binary black hole mergers.

Einstein@Home also searches for gamma-ray pulsars (spinning neutron stars) using data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. This project recently found 13 new gamma-ray pulsars bringing the total to 18.
So check your project settings carefully, there are six sub-projects to choose from. You can search for either gamma-ray pulsars or Einstein gravity waves or both. Check CPU / GPU settings as well. Knights who've been shrubbing PrimeGrid this month might need to check your BIOS and turn hyper-threading back on. Einstein is one of the few projects that has graphics, showing which part of the sky that WU is shrubbing.
How is the Android version, is work available?
You might consider shrubbing some Albert@Home, which is the test project. About 5K WUs ready to send. This will help bring improvements and updates to the main project.

Since the votes were so close, if Einstein crashes or runs out of work or we just get bored  shrub some SETI as our back up project.

Android work is available, under the Radio Pulsar (Arecibo). It is very intensive and should probably not be run on a phone or tablet, but for a Pi or Android computer it should be fine.
There is no GPU for Gamma-ray or Gravitational Wave search. |

Wait, are you saying there are NO GPU WUs available? There is at least one GPU project called " Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo, GPU)." However, it's hard to decode this server status page and determine how many of those WUs are ready to send.
https://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/server_status.html
If no GPU from Einstein, I guess SETI will be the GPU project?

| Reread what I wrote. The only project on Einstein that is GPU is Binary Radio Pulsar Search. The other two searches there is no GPU applications for. |

I like how you said it the 2nd time better. 
I haven't DL'd any GPU WUs yet, may have to move on to another project for GPU. Anyone else seeing this? |

Can we surf gravitational waves?

| Quote: | The first E@h search on the advanced-generation LIGO detector data (O1) has started ! We are searching the sky for gravitational wave signals with frequencies between 20 Hz and 100 Hz. We have packed two searches in a single application: one for standard ever-lasting continuous gravitational waves and the other for continuous signals lasting only some days. The run was designed to last no more than a few months because we have a long list of exciting searches that we want to launch on the O1 data: we want to look at frequencies above 100 Hz and also concentrate our computing power on a few specific promising objects.
Since the last gravitational wave run we have developed a faster application that hinges on the power of the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm. There is no such thing as a free lunch so we are paying a price for this : the performance of our application depends now on the size of the cache of the volunteer computer that it is running on. In order to be able to assign credit fairly for the work done by all volunteer hosts and in order to balance well the computational load among the different hosts, we have split the work for this search in two separate runs for different host classes. A work-unit from any of these runs is equally likely to harbour a signal and both runs are crucial to the search!

So as of today, there is yet another new app: Gravitational Wave search O1 all-sky I
I think this means if you have a fast computer you'll get the F suffix WUs mentioned by Yankton above, but if not you'll crunch the I suffix.
Get ya some! 
I still ain't got no Einstein GPU WUs, so shrubbing GPUGrid for a spell... |

Well BOINC was seriously mistaken with its projection on how long WUs would take.
Had two quit because they didn't start before the deadline and got some others that are going to be a couple of days late.
Einstein seems to know that I'm crunching the others and hasn't sent them out to a third party yet.
Gonna easily take over the number 3 spot on my project list now. SETI doesn't have a chance - not least because I'm not crunching any.

Don't forget Albert@Home, which is the test project for Einstein. Currently about 4K WUs ready to send. This will help bring improvements and updates to the main project.
https://albertathome.org
https://albert.phys.uwm.edu
On edit: Corrected project connection URL above, one or the 'tuther should work.
