ComcuteJS: A Web Browser Based Platform for Large-scale Computations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a new, cost effective, volunteer computing based platform. It utilizes volunteers’ web browsers as computational nodes. The computational tasks are delegated to the browsers and executed in the background (independently of any user interface scripts) making use of the HTML5 web workers technology. The capabilities of the platform have been proved by experiments performed in a wide range of numbers of computational nodes (1–400).

Distributed and Grid Computing via the Browser
Large scale grid computing has only recently become feasible due to the maturation and widespread use of the internet. A browser-based distributed model shows promise, considering the significant amount of “untapped” processing power available. With “Web 2.0” applications quickly becoming the norm, a distributed platform is practical with in-browser scripting and data transport technologies. Cu...
متن کاملTowards a Declarative Web
Owing to its platform independence, ubiquity and ease of deployment, the web browser is quickly becoming not only a platform for large-scale application development, but the platform for application development. However, the de facto standard language of the web, Javascript, suffers from poor language design, a lack of static checks and a highly verbose programming model. Meanwhile, the Haskell...
متن کاملWiNV: A Framework for Web-based Interactive Scalable Network Visualization
In this paper we introduce WiNV A framework for web-based interactive scalable network visualization. WiNV enables a new class of rich and scalable interactive cross-platform capabilities for visualizing large-scale networks natively in a user’s browser. Extensive experiments show that our system can visualize networks that consist of tens of thousands of nodes while maintaining fast, high-qual...
متن کاملWeb-based kinetic modelling using JWS Online
UNLABELLED JWS Online is a repository of kinetic models, describing biological systems, which can be interactively run and interrogated over the Internet. It is implemented using a client-server strategy where the clients, in the form of web browser based Java applets, act as a graphical interface to the model servers, which perform the required numerical computations. AVAILABILITY The JWS On...
متن کاملNVM Heaps for Accelerating Browser-based Applications
The growth in browser-based computations is raising the need for efficient local storage for browser-based applications. A standard approach to control how such applications access and manipulate the underlying platform resources, is to run in-browser applications in a sandbox environment. Sandboxing works by static code analysis and system call interception, and as a result, the performance of...
