One Billion at Einstein at Home

[Horribleron1]

Just passed one billion at Einstein at home at 1,000,039,777 units completed. Our team is ranked 89th overall with over 1,500, 575.015 work units completed. Might take a break now.

Congrats on the milestone.

I haven't heard of Einstein @ Home. What are they researching?

Same. Give us a little education. High level. Don't get too far into the weeds.

It's gravitational wave research that involves crunching data collected by the two LIGO detectors setup in the US and other sources. Go to: https://einsteinathome.org/ for project information

Okay. I hate myself for doing this but:

"I love ligos. I've built with these little blocks for many years and the fun never ends.

What?

legos? I'm thinking of legos?

Yeah. I suppose I am."

Apologies to you and members of the community. Looks like a neat project.



Congratulations on the 1 billion mark. To mirror the weekly updates for our team I'd have written:
"Please reach out to @Horribleron1 who just reach a BILLION WU's. First billion is always the best. WOOT! WOOT!"

My awful joke aside, we support all teams under the overclocker.com banner and wish you well. 89th in the world too. Great job all.

Cool, seems like a logical next project to run after SETI came to an end. Does it run on CPU, GPU or both?

Einstein at Home uses both CPU and GPU and I have been running both NVidia and AMD cards. Please note that some of work they have will not run on cards that have less than 4GB VRAM.
