Einstein@Home

Heavy:

Einstein@home is a program that uses your computer’s idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors. Einstein@home is a World Year of Physics 2005 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.

I am running Seti@home searching extraterrestrial signals. Would Einstein@home interfere with this process? I would like to add this new one, too.

"I am running Seti@home searching extraterrestrial signals. Would Einstein@home interfere with this process? I would like to add this new one, too."

They both are using a new 'platform' called BOINC which allows you to run multiple projects and decide how much of your resources to allocate to each.

SETI@Home is in the process of switching over and your account will be transferred... just check out http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/ for all the info.
