The Asteroseismology Metacomputer
Abstract
We have developed a specialized computational instrument for fitting models of pulsating white dwarfs to observations made with the Whole Earth Telescope. This metacomputer makes use of inexpensive PC hardware and free software, including a parallel genetic algorithm which performs a global search for the best-fit set of parameters.
