Hi all,

Just to let you know about this capability that Jesús and others at
San Jorge University are making available. Seems like it might be a
good way to get large electrophysiology simulations executed.

Cheers,
David.

I'm writing in this list to share with you a new CellML-based project
we have started a few months ago: DENIS (Distributed computing,
Electrophysiological models, Networking collaboration, In silico
research, Sharing knowledge).

The idea of the project is to create a network of volunteers which
will simulate a lot of variations of a CellML model. Using CellML
files, the CellML API and the BOINC API, we are able to create a
program that solves the CellML model in a BOINC project. Each
volunteer receives the program and a configuration file which
indicates: the model to simulate, the model constants to modify and
the model variables to save. Until now, the solver is very simple but
we want to improve it to permit to simulate fibers, tissues, etc.

The volunteer computing permits us to create a grid with a very high
average floating point operations per second with a very low cost. Our
idea is to open it to any researcher who needs computational capacity
through a web interface. While we reach this goal, if any one wants to
use the network, please, fell free to contact us. We can do it in a
more "hand-made" way. We are open to sugestions, comments or ideas
that could improve the project.

Finally, if you could share the project to get more volunteers, we
will be very thankful. You can find more information on
http://denis.usj.es and more statistics of the network on
http://boincstats.com/en/stats/160/project/detail/overview

Syncerelly,

Jesús Carro Fernández
San Jorge University
