It is hosted by the [[University of Münster]], [[Germany]]. QMC@Home allows volunteers from around the world to donate idle computer cycles to help calculate the [[energies]] and [[reactivity]] of [[molecules]] using [[Diffusion Monte Carlo]]. The project began its [[Development stage#Beta|Beta]]testing on [[23 May]] [[2006]]. ==Workunits== In order to get results from home computers the work is split into "workunits". The time it takes to complete a workunit depends on the size of the calculated system and the speed of the user's computer. The target time is between 4 and 48 hours on a 2400 MHz system. This is a list of molecules recently tested: 1a [[Ammonia]]; 1 Ammonia dimer; 2a [[Water]]; 2 Water dimer; 3a [[Formic acid]]; 3 Formic acid dimer; 4a [[Formamide]]; 4 Formamide dimer; 5a [[Uracil]]; 5 Uracil dimer; 6a 2-[[pyridoxine]]; 6b 2-[[aminopyridine]]; 6 2-pyridoxine/2-aminopyridine; 7a [[Adenine]]; 7b [[Thymine]]; 7 Adenine/thymine WC; 8a [[Methane]]; 8 Methane dimer; 9a [[Ethene]]; 9 Ethene dimer; 10 [[Benzene]]/methane; 11a Benzene; 11 Benzene dimer; 12a [[Pyrazine]]; 12 Pyrazine dimer; 13 Uracil dimer; 14a [[Indole]]; 14 Indole/benzene; 15 Adenine/thymine stack; 16b [[Ethine]]; 16 Ethene/ethine; 17 Benzene/water; 18 Benzene/ammonia; 19b [[Hydrogen cyanide]]; 19 Benzene/hydrogen cyanide; 20 Benzene dimer; 21 Indole/benzene; 22a Phenole; 22 Phenole dimer For a list of current workunits, visit the project's website. ==See also== [[List of distributed computing projects]] ==External links== Related websites * [http://qah.uni-muenster.de/ qah.uni-muenster.de] The project's website * [http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ www.boinc.berkeley.edu] Official BOINC website * [http://www.boincstats.com/stats/project_graph.php?pr=qmc/ BOINCstats] Unofficial project statistics <br> {{BOINC topics}} [[Category:Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing]] [[Category:Quantum chemistry]] [[de:QMC@Home]] [[it:QMC@home]] [[ru:QMC@Home]]
