AVirtualMachineForExploringSpaceTimeAndBeyond : Rotation about the X axis of the Lorenz attractor (5000 iterations), computed simultaneously on two different computers (Rotation autour de l'axe X de l'attracteur de Lorenz (5000 iterations), calculee sur deux ordinateurs differents).

Rotation about the X axis of the Lorenz attractor (5000 iterations), computed simultaneously on two different computers [Rotation autour de l'axe X de l'attracteur de Lorenz (5000 itérations), calculée sur deux ordinateurs différents].

The Lorenz differential equation system is solved 128 times for exactly the same initial conditions. Each one of the 128 computations is run either on the computer A or on the computer B, depending of their instaneous work load. Computers A and B are identical except for their system release. To distinguish the 128 different computations, each one has its own point of view (using a 3D rotation applied after the computation). For 1000 iterations (see "Rotation about the X axis of the Lorenz attractor (1000 iterations), computed simultaneously on two different computers"), the resulting animation shows no defect, when for 5000 iterations (see "Rotation about the X axis of the Lorenz attractor (5000 iterations), computed simultaneously on two different computers"), it appears clearly that the two computers did not give the same results.
