Don't forget International Talk Like a Pirate Day, September 19th!
|
OverviewPirates@Home
is a test of BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network
Computing. One goal of the project is to help develop a screensaver for
Einstein@Home. At present Pirates@Home is not doing any real scientific
computation. We are just having fun with BOINC.
Read more about the LIGO and GEO 600 gravity wave
detectors. If you would like to participate in Einstein@Home when it
officially starts then please

is always under development, so please don't expect it to work all
the time. In fact, right now we have very little work, just occasional
tests.

Arrr! Greetings to the crew on this fine Talk Like a Pirate Day. We
are continuing to let out a few short workunits to test scheduling
and graphics.

Arrr! We just want to make sure all the crew know that September 19th
is Talk Like a Pirate Day.
The gravity wave hunters in Hannover will probably want to talk like a Pirate

We 'found our keys', and now the scheduler is up and unrestricted. We
are letting out some very small test workunits, but only a few at a time
to see how they do. BOINC version 4 is now the required client.

The download problem has been fixed. It was just a missing directory,
not a problem with signatures. We are continuing to 'tweak' and try out
the whole cycle of work creation and validation with BOINC 4.
8 September 2004
New account creation has been enabled. We are mostly converted over to
BOINC 4 but there are still a few problems. In particular downloading of
executables (BOINC itself or applications) is not working correctly,
probably due to bad file signatures. We will post a note when it's fixed.
