Yay! Whoopie! Hooray!
Quote: | The main computational work of the search was distributed over approximately 100 000 computers volunteered by the general public. This large computing power allowed the use of a relatively long coherent integration time of 30 hours while searching a large parameter space. This search extends Einstein@Home's previous search in LIGO S4 data to about 3 times better sensitivity. No statistically significant signals were found. |

Well that seems like a waste of CPU cycles, at least you can find new primes with PrimeGrid.
