Make Your Android a Portable Supercomputer with rbAPPmit
Researchers at MIT developed a prototype application for the Android OS which allows the device to run complex calculations that might otherwise be performed on a supercomputer. New software that runs on a smart phone can approximate in seconds computations that would take a supercomputer hours. The software works for problems whose form is know but whose particulars aren't; slider bars allow users to set the values for which they want the problems solved. The phone still requires a supercomputer to derive these initial equations, but the phone can then execute them to a close approximation. In explaining their inspiration, the app's developers explain that there are many complex calculations which must be performed in the field. They say that while they might know the general parameters of an equation (the work of the supercomputer), they might not know certain specific measurements (which are then entered into the Android device). The mathematical models on which these calculations rely apparently take up very little memory, so many models can be stored, and any additional models can be downloaded from the field.
The software, which is available for download, comes preloaded with models for nine problems, including heat propagation in objects of several different shapes, fluid flow around a spherical obstacle, and the effects of forces applied to a cracked pillar. As the researchers develop models for new classes of problems, they post them on a server, from which they can be downloaded.
