Zivis
This project is no longer active
Zivis project aims to create a distributed infrastructure in Zaragoza but it is open for everybody. At this moment, the only difference is the fact that the awards are only offered to people living in this great city.
Of course, we encourage all of you to participate and collaborate in this project which aim always included to increase the knowledge about Zaragoza abroad.
About the science behind the application, let me offer you a short introduction. What we are sending to the participants to calculate are particles trajectories inside a fusion device. Each work unit includes several particles to calculate. The result of the computation include significant values of the simulation, and sometimes values for its visualization. As you supose, dynamics in plasma is a complex problem and we solve them with stochastical differential equations. That's why the name of the application in boinc is langevin.
