Bestowing Idle Computing-Power for Proactive Distributed Number Crunching

Abstract

Einstein Home is a distributed computing project to search for signals from rotating neutron stars in data from the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors, from large radio telescopes and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. These radio signals are weak and the real signal is embedded with a lot of noise. Computational processing of these leads to detection of Neutron stars Einstein Home project aims to enable researchers to tap into the huge processing assets of multiple personal computers around the world voluntarily.
