Simulation through Social Networking (STSN)

FAQ

Q: How do I download the file?

A: Simply put the tip of your mouse pointer on the file name and CLICK with your left mouse button. A window will probably open asking you to Save to Disk or something like that. Save the file to the folder you have created on any of your hard drives (D, E, etc.; preferably not C but it's all right if you want).

Simulation of the physics of growth

New simulation file (23 September 2006)

 

Restricted Solid-on-Solid (RSOS)

 

Computer simulation of atomistic growth in 1+1 dimensions

(This means that we're dropping particles on a line of atoms. ☺)

 

  1. Create a folder (call it anything you like, rsos1d_65k, say) in one of your hard drives (preferably not C).

  2. Download rsos65536_1d_4l_8l_50r_mine_outside_general.exe [temporarily disconnected] to the folder you have created (please see the Q&A table on the left) . This file has been written in Fortran95 and is ready to use.

  • If your computer has a Pentium 4 processor, please download rsos65536_1d_4l_8l_50r_mine_outside_8M_p4.exe; it'll rum much faster.

  1. To start the simulations, double click the file in the folder, that's it!

You can stop the program and continue it again later, any number of times you want!

If you let the program be and if you do not turn your computer off,

it'll run for a few weeks and will store the results of its calculations in the downloaded folder.

  1. To continue the program, double click the file in the downloaded folder again; just that!

  1. Deliver the results (which will be in the same folder you created) every week, every two weeks, every three weeks, or monthly:

    • on CD, or

    • on flash memory, memory stick, cool disk, etc., or

    • by email (preferably after zipping the files).

 

 

If you have been running my programs on your computer, please contact me so that I'll be able to get the results from you.
