19 февраля проект Einstein@home отметил 20 лет от своего рождения.
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.
Since that time, almost half a million people have contributed computing power to Einstein@Home. Einstein@Home carries out the most sensitive searches for continuous gravitational waves, and continues to set the tightest and most stringent limits on this yet-to-be-discovered population. We have discovered more than 90 new radio and gamma ray pulsars, including a number of extreme and exotic examples. The project has resulted in 38 peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals, and has also played a role in a dozen PhD theses.
A big thank you to everyone involved!

Director, Einstein@Home
Мой с близкими вклад в этот проект сейчас это в среднем 3,7 миллиона cubblestones ежедневно.
Работают три RTX 4090, Apple Studio Ultra M1, M4 mini. Macbook M4 pro и ещё несколько серверов, компьютеров и ноутбуков по мелочи.
Проект ищет пульсары в данных LIGO (тот самый, который открыл гравитациоионные волны), космического гамма-телескопа Ферми, радиотелескопов MeerKAT и Arecibo.
