About SLinCA@Home

SLinCA (Scaling Laws in Cluster Aggregation) is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in field of materails science. You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer.

SLinCA is based at G.V.Kurdyumov Institute for Metal Physics (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine - NASU).

Project Description, Wiki, FAQ, and other sections are under construction, but some info can be found in

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;
our publications.

SLinCA@Home is supported by our partners: DEGISCO, IDGF, and Distributed Computing team 'Ukraine'.
