What type of calculations is the computer doing?

Post by science man »

Does anyone know what math the computer is doing for fah? Such as what it's actually doing when you run a classic or smp client.

If you're talking about the molecular dynamics simulations, I think you could use this article : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_Dynamics

If you want to know what each individual project does, you can find project descriptions here : http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/allprojects
