DESCRIPTION:Einstein@Home is a volunteer distributed computing project wit
 h more than 300\,000 participants.  Like other volunteer computing project
 s\, Einstein@Home harvests idle computer cycles from the the laptop and de
 sktop computers of the general public.  This provides enormous computing p
 ower\, on the scale of some of the world's fastest supercomputers\, but at
  very low cost. I describe the current status of the Einstein@Home search 
 for new neutron stars\, using data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitati
 onal-wave Observatory (LIGO)\, from the Arecibo and Parkes radio telescope
 s\, and from the Fermi gamma-ray satellite.  \n\nThe sensitivity of these 
 searches is limited by computing power\, so the Einstein@Home approach all
 ows the detection of weaker signals than more conventional approaches. In 
 the past 18 months\, Einstein@Home has discovered more than 20 new radio a
 nd gamma-ray pulsars\, including a number of particularly interesting and 
 exotic systems.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=17737
