Distributed Monte Carlo Integration to Estimate Pi

Using Google App Engine and HTML5 Web Workers to distribute Monte Carlo Simulations to thousands of web clients.

Monte Carlo Integration

Monte Carlo (MC) methods are based on the use of random numbers and probability statistics to investigate problems. You can find MC methods used in everything from economics to nuclear physics to regulating the flow of traffic.

Web Workers

Web Workers enable a web application to load JavaScript dynamically and run it in a background process, not affecting the user interface. The user experience is not interrupted, while all Web Worker computation is in the background.
