Milky Way is our GPU PotM for June.
Quote:
Milkyway@Home uses the BOINC platform to harness volunteered computing resources, creating a highly accurate three dimensional model of the Milky Way galaxy using data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This project enables research in both astroinformatics and computer science.

In computer science, the project is investigating different optimization methods which are resilient to the fault-prone, heterogeneous and asynchronous nature of Internet computing; such as evolutionary and genetic algorithms, as well as asynchronous newton methods. While in astroinformatics, Milkyway@Home is generating highly accurate three dimensional models of the Sagittarius stream, which provides knowledge about how the Milky Way galaxy was formed and how tidal tails are created when galaxies merge.

Server Maintenance Concluded
Hey Everyone,

Thank you all for your patience over the last week. I can say server maintenance is now concluded. The BOINC libraries on the server are up to date, and we have the newest available version of Ubuntu running on the server. We added HTTPS to the website so we recommend using that while you browse to best protect your personal information. Finally, maybe with the updated BOINC server libraries, the server will recognize some of the newer GPUs that support double precision (Not entirely sure about this point though).

Thank you everyone for your patience and happy crunching,
Jake W.

Here's a super-cool simulation showing the Milky Way stealing stars from a dwarf galaxy, part of what we've been shrubbing.

For some strange reason Milky Way WUs ends up immediately on my shrubbery with an error. I'm way too lazy to figure out what is wrong so i switched to GPUgrid.

Milkyway@Home is one of the best uses for my old amd/ati HD 4870.
Because it is double precision it works well here. Because it is old it does not work at all on many other BOINC projects.
