Test4theory is fully opening up for new volunteers!
Thu, 09/08/2011 - 09:11 — Daniel Lombraña...We have finally reached a point where the system seems to be very stable (thanks to all the volunteers that have collaborated!), so we are opening up Test4Theory again: the invitation code is no longer necessary for joining the project.
Please, remember that we may close the registration if we detect a problem due to a large influx of new volunteers. Thanks for your understanding!
Welcome!
Fri, 06/24/2011 - 11:09 — Daniel Lombraña...LHC@home 2.0 is a volunteer computing platform for physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider - the world's largest particle accelerator - at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. This platform will host several sub-projects for different LHC physics groups.
LHC@home 2.0 is an extension of the LHC@home platform, launched in 2004 to help physicists simulate protons beam dynamics in the LHC. At that time, doing full-fledged simulations of particle collisions was beyond the scope of volunteer computing. But the evolution of computer software and hardware, and in particular the use of virtual machine technology, has enabled a breakthrough...LHC@home 2.0!
As a result you can now be part of a global effort to simulate data that physicists will use in their analysis of LHC data, by running simulations of particle collisions on your home computer. The first project to run on the LHC@home 2.0 platform - currently in test phase - is called Test4Theory.
Join us, and help scientists in their cutting edge research: it's important!
