About FreeHAL@home

The FreeHAL project's mission is to develop a computer program which very closely imitates human conversation. FreeHAL consists of a server application and several frontends, a cross-platform GUI and a web interface.

FreeHAL@home is the corresponding BOINC project which generates and converts fact and relationship databases (semantic networks) for FreeHAL . Because these tasks take a lot of time and can be processed on many independent computers, they are sent to volunteers donating CPU time by running the BOINC software.

You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer.

Freehal is supported by CloudSigma
September 1, 2010

Two weeks ago we have got an interesting offer by CloudSigma, a cloud computing hoster from Switzerland. CloudSigma supports the Freehal project with a free server for (at least) six months. -- Best Regards, Tobias Schulz

Many thanks for your support! Our latest appeal for donations was very successful. During about four days we have got enough funds for this and the next 2 months. You can see more details about our expenses at: http://www.freehal.net/funds/ -- Best Regards, Tobias Schulz

Please read: New applications and Credits at Freehal
June 20, 2010

There are two different ways of running Freehal now. You can choose whether you want 'non cpu intensive' (NCI) or 'cpu intensive' (CI) workunits.
CI's run about 1 hour or less with 50 MB memory, depending on your computer, and you get between 15 and 90 credits for it, depending on your benchmark results (whetstone/dhrystone).
NCI's need about 4 hours with 1% to 2% CPU usage and also about 50 MB memory.
For a NCI you get as much as for a CI workunit, but because NCI's need 4 hours and CI's less than 1 hour, people get less than 25% of CI credits when they run NCI workunits.
CI workunits: up to 2500 per day <-> NCI workunts: up to 600 per day

CI/NCI settings
June 19, 2010

Until yesterday people got a 'cpu-intensive' workunit although they selected 'non-cpu-intensive' if the server had only 'cpu-intensive' workunits but no 'non-cpu-intensive' workunits. As it turned out, this 'feature' was bad, so it doesn't happen any more - You don't have to be 'afraid' of getting the wrong version. -- Best Regards, Tobias Schulz

New applications
June 18, 2010

The new Freehal applications are released and the work generation should work too. Every user is able to choose in the account settings whether he wants to get non-cpu-intensive or cpu-intensive workunits. I hope we can go back to normal now. If you find some bugs please report them in the forum. -- Best Regards, Tobias Schulz
