The Einstein@Home project went off-line because of an air-conditioning failure on May 28. We are working to get the project back up and running and hope to have it fully functional in the next day or two.

We are making good progress in restarting the project

We are making good progress in restarting the project. Now that the web pages are up, we will first enable file uploads and then enable the scheduler. It may be some hours before we are again handing out new work and everything is functioning normally. We'll post further reports here when we have more news.

Einstein@Home is back up and running

May 31, 2006

Einstein@Home is back up and running. Because of the backlog of work that has been completed by YOUR computers in the past few days, our systems may be somewhat slow at uploading this completed work and handing out new work. So please be patient if it takes a bit of time before your computers are busy crunching away! Note: experience shows that recovery from this type of 'hard' failure can take some time; there may be new problems that appear, which may require rapid shut-down and additional corrective action at our end. But we will try hard to avoid this if possible.
