Pooch is designed to combine powerful, numerically-intensive parallel-computing clusters with the famed ease-of-use of the Macintosh. Pooch coordinates the distribution of data, acts out commands from other Pooches, and provides a modern user interface to...

A numerically-intensive parallel graphics application that computes a Mandelbrot-like fractal and displays processor performance statistics. This app uses the Velocity Engine, a.k.a. AltiVec, and multiple processors (MP) for its computations and uses UCLA...

The new Pooch QuickTime Exporter plug-in automatically parallelizes video compression from video-editing applications. It extracts the source video data, partitions them, then assigns other nodes their data. The compressed video data is then returned for...

Solar System Sim simulates N-body problems in three dimensions and visualizes the solution in a compelling display. The simulation uses an attractive force between bodies which varies by the distance between them raised to a power of your choosing. The...

Open source parallelized fractal generator for Mac clusters. This code is meant to help people experiment with and learn parallel programming as well as show how an interactive parallel application is written for clusters. You may try different...

This postcardware program efficiently simulates Fresnel diffraction by any two-dimensional aperture using an algorithm published in the Nov/Dec 1996 issue of _Computers In Physics_. It contains an interactive user-interface and a self-demo to aid in use...

Atom in a Box is an application that aids in visualizing the Hydrogenic atomic orbitals, a prime and otherwise unwieldy example of quantum mechanics. Unlike other tools in this category, this program raytraces through a three-dimensional cloud density...
