Time for Wiki Wednesday.
You know - you go to Wikipedia, you click on "random article," you report on the outcome.
Here's my random Wiki Wednesday find for this week:
LeanCP is a quantum chemistry application. Many important problems in material science, chemistry, solid-state physics, and biophysics require a modeling approach based on fundamental [quantum mechanics|quantum mechanical]] principles. A particular approach that has proved to be relatively efficient and useful is Car-Parrinello ab initio molecular dynamics (CPAIMD). Parallelization of this approach beyond a few hundred processors is challenging, due to the complex dependencies among various subcomputations, which lead to complex communication optimization and load balancing problems.
LeanCP is a quantum chemistry application aimed at parallelizing CPAIMD using the Charm++ parallel programming model. The computation is modeled using a large number of virtual processors, which are mapped flexibly to available processors with assistance from the Charm++ runtime system.
Now, I know that Wiki works by trusting users to check the accuracy of entries, but how many people out there feel qualified to review an entry like this one? And yet, someone stuck this warning on the LeanCP page:
This article or section is written like an advertisement.
Oh, yeah. Let me tell you, if I see one more commercial for yet another quantum chemistry application I may just throw my TV out the window - although I did like the one where those two hot chicks got into a Schrödinger's cat-fight. Rowwr!
[For those of you who are keeping track, that's my second dumb cat joke in as many weeks.]
