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
