Magnetism@home is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to explore the equlibrium, metastable and transient magnetization patterns (first and foremost in nano-scale magnetic elements and their arrays, but later other systems may be considered). You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer.

Run by Donetsk state Institute of Physics and Technologies (Ukraine), dr Konstantin L.Metlov.

run on BOINC platform

Project is in Alpha stage, currently processing 2nd or 3rd generation of WUs

source files are open. current software version is 0.06

each WU takes about 2.5 Hours on 2.6Ghz core2duo computer and eats up to 680MB of memory (as promiced, next generation of WU will eat less memory - about 250MB)

There are several 100s of teams, about 700 users registered, and about 2500 hosts processed WUs

users generate around 140000 of BOINC points each day (as on 08-20-2008)

we would like to see stats of this project on dc-vault site :)

680MB... Even the 250MB for the next generation is a lot. :rolleyes:

current WUs eat 250MB

This project is a big payday, especially on the ram intensive units. Seems to be adequate work. Only issue that I see is that the IP is not static and occasionally requires a restart or reboot to up/down load work. To me it is another good science project.
