概要：Ibercivis 对于核聚变模拟的基本介绍
正文翻译：
The dream of fusion power sounds so fantastic that one’s initial reaction might be to dismiss it as science fiction. Yet scientists hope to bring the power that emblazons the sun, fusion, to earthbound reactors. In this type of reaction two atomic nuclei bind — or fuse — together to form a heavier atom, triggering a monumental release of energy. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is a joint international research and development project seeking to build a prototype fusion power plant. (The finished machine will be located in the south of France.)
在人们的想象中核聚变反应能发电给人的第一反应就是，wow简直太棒了那不是在科幻小说中一样。然而，科学家们很赞同这种能和太阳同样的聚变反应堆。国际热热核反应堆(ITER)是一个国际联合研究和开发建立一个以聚变发电为模型的电厂。
Aiding ITER in its computational load is Ibercivis, a volunteer computing project centered in Spain, which allows computer users citizens to donate unused computing cycles from their personal computers to scientific research. While the Ibercivis resource broker and its storage elements are in Spain, project participants are from all over the world. Ibercivis launched in June 2008 and since then has been increasing its computing resources. The number of people donating their desktop resources for scientific computing has risen steadily, and is currently at about 20,000.
Ibercivis担负着协助国际核聚变实验反应堆的任务，志愿者计算项目位于西班牙，这使得计算机用户群捐赠闲置计算时间提供给科学研究。虽然以Ibercivis为计算平台和其存储的内容都在西班牙，项目参加者更多是来自世界各地的参与者。 Ibercivis自2008年6月推出后计算资源一直在增加。目前约为20000人捐出自己的计算资源进一步推动科学计算的上升。
“Participating in Ibercivis gives people the opportunity to directly help in this scientific research,” says Francisco Castejón, head of the Fusion Theory unit at the Research Center for Energy, Environment and Technology (CIEMAT), Spain. “Ibercivis is accompanied by informative talks and material to help people understand what their computer cycles accomplish. This project is also interesting for researchers, giving them the chance to communicate their work to the general public.”
Francisco Castejón是位于西班牙的能源、环境及技术研究中心(CIEMAT)的核聚变理论研究组负责人，他谈到说：“民众在参与Ibercivis的过程中获得了直接帮助科学研究的机会。Ibercivis借助丰富的会谈和材料来帮助民众了解他们的计算机都做了些什么。对于研究者来说，这个项目也很有趣，因为这让他们有了与公众交流自己的研究工作的机会。” [Julian_Yuen]
Ibercivis was developed with the cooperation of the Institute of Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems at the University of Zaragoza, CIEMAT, CETA-CIEMAT, CSIC and RedIris. In addition to hosting fusion applications, Ibercivis can be used for calculating other applications. For example, protein folding and materials simulations also run in Ibercivis.
Ibercivis与萨拉戈萨大学生理复杂系统研究所，CIEMAT，CETA-CIEMAT, CSIC和RedIris.除了核聚变主要计算程序，Ibercivis还可用于计算其他程序。例如蛋白质折叠和材料模拟都可运行在Ibercivis
Ibercivis is not a temporary project (unlike many BOINC-based volunteer computing projects), so it will be possible to submit applications indefinitely. In addition, Ibercivis is designed to run not just one but several applications belonging to different disciplines. All applications previously ported to the grid can run efficiently in Ibercivis. This makes it possible to run a single application on both volunteer and grid resources.
Ibercivis不只是一个临时项目（它与许多BOINC-分布式计算一样），这很有可能让他继续得到许可运行下去。此外，Ibercivis运行不只是几个单一的程序这取决于学科因素。Ibercivis可以应用所有有效的移植程序。这使得计算志愿者和网格资源都有可能将单一程序运行。

太客气太过奖了。
