Integration of Everest Platform with BOINC-based Desktop Grids
نویسنده
چکیده
Desktop grids is an important class of distributed computing infrastructures (DCIs) used for solving complex scientific problems. The inherent complexity of DCIs and used technologies limit the wide adoption of distributed computing in practice. Everest is a web-based distributed computing platform that uses service-oriented approach and cloud computing models to solve this problem. This paper discusses the possible approaches for integration of Everest and BOINC-based desktop grids and presents the current prototype implementation. The proposed integration enables Everest users to seamlessly access computing resources of desktop grids and build generic or domain-specific web services for submission and automation of computations in desktop grids.

The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is an opensource middleware system for volunteer and desktop grid computing. In this paper, we propose BNBTEST, a BOINC version of the distributed branch-andbound method. The crucial issues of the distributed branch-and-bound method are traversing the search tree and loading the balance. We developed a subtask packaging method and t...

Desktop Grids take their place in the e-Science distributed computing infrastructure scaling into the millions of PCs. Desktop-Grids collect CPU cycles from PCs contributed by donors, by volunteers who are willing to support science and research. The Green key advantage of Desktop-Grids over service Grids and data centers based on clusters of servers is the minimal heat density. Compute Cluster...
