Gamma Flux

The Gamma Flux project is a key resource to the scientific research work of Peter Jansson, currently a Ph.D. student in nuclear physics at the University of Uppsala in Sweden. The focus of this research is to optimize the effectiveness of nuclear waste containment vessels. In December of 1999, Distributed Science, Inc. (formerly Dcypher.Net) began collaboration on the project by leveraging the immense resources provided by idle cpu cycles of computers worldwide.

DSI’s client software runs a simulation that casts hundreds of thousands of gamma rays from random points within a radioactive source and traces them through the radioactive matter, water enclosure and wall material to calculate the gamma flux field around the storage vessel. Soon, DSI is slated to release their version 2 software which will extend the simulation, incorporating more variables. All of the data collected will be used to calculate better methods of nuclear waste storage.

Team AnandTech is a dominant presence in the Gamma Flux effort, currently ranked 1st overall having processed nearly 3 million work units! However, as the popularity of the project increases as well as the number of participants, Team AnandTech’s lead is quickly diminishing. We need your help to stay on top! The client software is easy to install, easy to configure, and can be set to run passively on the Taskbar. If that isn’t enough to spark your interest, DSI conducts weekly cash giveaways ($100) to random active participants. You might just win enough to get that Duron you’ve had your eyes on! In the process, you’ll help solve one of the world’s largest growing environmental concerns.
