The remaining operations involve a scanning of the site to identify and reach the source code which is to be downloaded. With the exception of large parts of Africa and China, almost every country in the world has now downloaded data from the MAP site. The first mirror site has just been established in the U.S.A. at Northwestern University. The users include educational, commercial, governmental and military domains. The statistics and the impressive contents of the library, covering many aspects of materials science, can only be appreciated fully from the MAP site on Materials Algorithms Project A detailed report can also be accessed.
