AQUA@home

<p>AQUA@home was a <a href="/facts/Volunteer_computing/YkXGa3N8">volunteer computing</a> project operated by <a href="/facts/D-Wave_Systems/dtS6wEU1">D-Wave Systems</a> that ran on the <a href="/facts/Berkeley_Open_Infrastructure_for_Network_Computing/RPaqqojG">Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing</a> (BOINC) <a href="/facts/Software_platform/DmKwp5Bk">software platform</a>. It ceased functioning in August 2011. Its goal was to predict the performance of <a href="/facts/Superconductivity/pqQAlSzJ">superconducting</a> <a href="/facts/Adiabatic_quantum_computation/USqCIzRf">adiabatic quantum computers</a> on a variety of problems arising in fields ranging from <a href="/facts/Materials_science/N5HrXRYW">materials science</a> to <a href="/facts/Machine_learning/e0w0XJTu">machine learning</a>. It designed and analyzed <a href="/facts/Quantum_computing/nbbcgmvq">quantum computing</a> <a href="/facts/Algorithm/fnl5NmRt">algorithms</a>, using <a href="/facts/Quantum_Monte_Carlo/qenhfw9u">Quantum Monte Carlo</a> techniques.
</p><p>AQUA@home was the first BOINC project to provide <a href="/facts/Multi-threaded/hh8WHyPd">multi-threaded</a> applications. It was also the first project to deploy an <a href="/facts/OpenCL/ns8y6np7">OpenCL</a> test application under BOINC.
