I want to congratulate all of our Einstein@Home volunteers, developers, and scientists: our project is 20 years old today.  We officially launched Einstein@Home on February 19th 2005, exactly 20 years ago, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Washington DC.

New improved Gravitational Wave app & Happy New Year 2024 special

January 16, 2024

Dear crunchers!

We would like to share with you two things:

a) the GPU accelerated GW app is now much less memory hungry and less likely to produce errors. If you had previously opted out of the GW app, we invite you to reconsider and give the new version a chance.

b) to celebrate the new app, we have a holiday season special offer for our crunchers: you'll get twice the BOINC credits for the GW App results.
