Just wanted to know how many teraflops Einstein@home needs to analyze all the data the three observatorys collect in realtime

greets

I would like to know the

I would like to know the answer to this question, too. Perhaps one of the physicists in the LIGO collaboration would address it.

The LIGO data analysis is my personal first choice for a distributed computing project. However, if we ever reach a point like SETI where the datasets are being analyzed multiple times to keep everyone busy, I would rather use my cycles on a different project. Last I heard, we were adding 1,000 machines per week to the analysis. When do we saturate?

I doubt that we're at all close to that point. But how about a reply from someone who knows?

Einstein is adding a lot more than 1000 users per week. See the server stats page for the number added in the last day.

Here is a link to a graph (curtesy of Boincstats) of the number of users being granted credit/day:

When they saturate, they

When they saturate, they should not hand out any extra copies just to keep the crunchers happy. They are supposed to let the machines automatically switch to other attached projects. This is why attaching to several projects is a good idea (pick several of your favorites).
