The portion of jobs completed.
The job submitted on Aug, 10 just finished - thanks everybody! New job is coming soon. The results are optimistic: we go -680.222 optimum value. This is again better than the previous value (-678.083)....
View ArticleNew workunits.
The next portion of WUs is submitted. This is the 3rd generation of points: we are trying to improve starting from the results obtained at the previous step. Now we also increased the number of steps...
View ArticleThe new minimum found.
We obtained new minimum value: -681.871. Thanks all crunchers! We are working on improving the distributed algorithm. The next portion is expected the beginning of the next week.
View ArticleNew work is submitted.
New work is submitted. We improved the algorithm: the initial portion is 4096 WUs and new WUs will be added during the computation based on the computed results. Thus we'll keep the system busy all the...
View ArticleNew results are obtianed.
New results of the recent experiments are obtained: the newly found minimum is -683.783 which is significantly better w.r.t. the previous one (-681.871). The experiment started with a set of 4096...

OPTIMA@home now hosts new application aimed at fitting parameters of the Tersoff potential. Molecular dynamics (MD) is often used for modeling various properties of crystals. The essence of this method...
View ArticleFirst experimental data set is submitted
We submitted a series of workunits (4096 wus). Each Wu runs local search for 32 times. So in total 131072 local searches are expected. The precision was set to 0.00001. 10 free parameters for Tersoff...
