Our project use an original approach consisting of using « Volunteer Computing » to proceed to the extensive number of simulations.
VC is an arrangement in which people (volunteers) provide computing resources to projects, which use the resources to do distributed computing and/or storage. Volunteers are typically members of the general public who own Internet-connected PCs. Organizations such as schools and businesses may also volunteer the use of their computers. Projects are typically academic (university-based) and do scientific research.
- This project is academic and aims to deal with scientific research questions
- Volunteers are anonymous though they need to register to participate to the simulations. There is no chance that these informations may inform on the real identity of the user,
We are using the BOINC plateform which was developped by David Anderson from the Space Sciences Laboratory of the University of Berkeley.
