Bughunting

Our application is named 'Amolqc', it is distributed in different states (Amolqc-alpha, Amolqc-beta, ...) and in different versions (5.01, 5.02, ...), each as a windows variant and as a linux variant (we do not supply a Mac variant, as we do not have the needed hardware at the moment). The name 'Amolqc-beta_5.01_windows_intelx86' therefore stands for our application in beta state and as version 5.01 for windows systems.

Open problems:
Error #127 ('libstdc++ not found') - is back with the preRC1 linux version
(see here for more information)
Very few AMD processors show problems - we work on this
For some window sizes text is shown at wrong places - we work on this

Fixed problems:
BETA:
False signatures for linux binaries - fixed with version 5.02
Error #127 ('libstdc++ not found') - fixed with version 5.03
Error #3 (several 'Assertion ...' ) - fixed with version 5.04 and 5.06
Workunit progress is not shown - fixed with version 5.05
Broken linux version 5.06 - fixed with version 5.07
ALPHA:
Few hosts show ongoing ERR_RESULT_START errors
- fixed with Amolqc-alpha_5.04
Some workunits show over 100 percent progress before correctly finishing
- fixed with Amolqc-alpha_5.05
Very few linux hosts encounter ongoing 'unknown error number' errors
- fixed with Amolqc-alpha_5.06

Summary:

Reactions between molecules are important for virtually all parts of our lives. The structure and reactivity of molecules can be predicted by Quantum Chemistry, but the solution of the vastly complex equations of Quantum Theory often requires huge amounts of computing power. In our project we want to aquire the necessary computing time to further develop the very promising Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method for general use in Quantum Chemistry.

How to join us:

1. Download the client-software
2. Install the client-software
3. Donate computing time
