1. Scientific Computing Home Assignment #3
Dr. Guy Tel-Zur

2. 3D Self Avoidance Walk
Goal: Simulate a 3D Self Avoidance Random Walk (SAW), i.e. Non-Intersecting path.
Find the relation between <r2> and t, i.e RMS distance vs. time.

3. Settings Do 3000 walks (time steps)
Use a 3-dimensional 500X500X500 grid
Repeat the exercise 10 times and average the results

4. Computational Tools and Methods
Write your code in C
Install personal condor on your laptop
Execute the 10 repetitions using Condor
Pay attention to the random number generator’s seed

5. Make a Plot Make a plot of <r2> vs. t
Do a fit and find ν for the expression: <r2> ~ A tν

6. Bonus Save the problem domain (grid) in Silo format
Make a movie of the SAW growth using VisIt by taking snap shots of the grid at several time steps, e.g. every 150 times steps.
