Most of these PCs can be found in citizens’ homes and, to a lesser extent, in universities. Most of these computers remain idle most of the time. About 1 million of them are active in supporting science in a volunteer computing grid and use their idle time to run scientific applications. The potential growth of this computing capacity is enormous. Many Desktop Grids have therefore decided to found the International Desktop Grid Federation (IDGF) to help each other improving their e-Infrastructures. The IDGF-Support Project will give the IDGF a boost in two important areas. Firstly it will help considerably with increasing the number of citizens that donate computing time to e-Science.It will do so by targeted communication activities and settin-up a network of "ambassadors". Secondly it will help universities' e-infrastructures to include otherwise idle PCs from their class rooms and offices. In addition IDGF-SP will collect and analyse data that will help deploying idle PCs in an effective and energy efficient way. It has been shown that Desktop Grids can contribute to Green IT if used in the correct way. IDGF-SP will collect data to underpin and advocate best practices. As a result of IDGF-SP, the number of citizen volunteers donating computing to e-Science will increase significantly. By employing unused PCs in private Desktop Grid, universities and other research organisations, will save on their costs on providing computer capacity for their scientists. IDGF-SP will help strengthening the co-operation amongst Desktop Grid e-Infrastructure operators. IDGF-SP will encourage and help IDGF Desktop Grid providers to integrate their infrastructures into the main e-Science environment. The existance of an lively active IDGF community assures the swift take-up of the IDGF-SP project results. 312297 IDGF-SP - Part A - Page 3 of 5 A2: List of Beneficiaries 1 2 Project Number 312297 Project Acronym IDGF-SP List of Beneficiaries Project entry Project exit No Name Short name Country 10 month month MAGYAR TUDOMANYOS AKADEMIA SZAMITASTECHNIKAI ES 1 MTA SZTAKI Hungary 1 24 AUTOMATIZALASI KUTATO INTEZET 2 STICHTING ALMEREGRID ALMEREGRID Netherlands 1 24 3 THE UNIVERSITY OF WESTMINSTER LBG UoW United Kingdom 1 24 4 UNIVERSITEIT LEIDEN LU Netherlands 1 24 5 SONY EUROPE LIMITED SONY United Kingdom 1 24 6 THE WORLDWIDE COMPUTER COMPANY LIMITED CE United Kingdom 1 24 7 STICHTING INTERNATIONAL DESKTOP GRID FEDERATION IDGF Netherlands 1 24 312297 IDGF-SP - Part A - Page 4 of 5 A3: Budget Breakdown 1 2 Project Number 312297 Project Acronym IDGF-SP One Form per Project Participant Estimated eligible costs (whole duration of the project) Ind. number in Requested EU Participant short name 13 Coordination 11 costs Management (B) Other (C) Total A+B+C contribution this project / Support (A) 1 MTA SZTAKI T 170,745.00 67,732.00 0.00 238,477.00 212,643.00 2 ALMEREGRID T 164,784.00 0.00 0.00 164,784.00 146,932.00 3 UoW T 149,502.00 0.00 0.00 149,502.00 133,305.00 4 LU S 95,040.00 0.00 0.00 95,040.00 76,175.00 5 SONY A 106,787.00 0.00 0.00 106,787.00 95,218.00 6 CE T 77,125.00 0.00 0.00 77,125.00 68,769.00 7 IDGF F 142,383.00 0.00 0.00 142,383.00 126,958.00 Total 906,366.00 67,732.00 0.00 974,098.00 860,000.00 Note that the budget mentioned in this table is the total budget requested by the Beneficiary and associated Third Parties. 312297 IDGF-SP - Part A - Page 5 of 5 * The following funding schemes are distinguished Collaborative Project (if a distinction is made in the call please state which type of Collaborative project is referred to: (i) Small of medium-scale focused research project, (ii) Large-scale integrating project, (iii) Project targeted to special groups such as SMEs and other smaller actors), Network of Excellence, Coordination Action, Support Action. 1.

  • The Social Cloud for Public Eresearch
    The Social Cloud for Public eResearch by Koshy John A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Network Engineering. Victoria University of Wellington 2012 Abstract Scientific researchers faced with extremely large computations or the re- quirement of storing vast quantities of data have come to rely on dis- tributed computational models like grid and cloud computing. However, distributed computation is typically complex and expensive. The Social Cloud for Public eResearch aims to provide researchers with a platform to exploit social networks to reach out to users who would otherwise be unlikely to donate computational time for scientific and other research ori- ented projects. This thesis explores the motivations of users to contribute computational time and examines the various ways these motivations can be catered to through established social networks. We specifically look at integrating Facebook and BOINC, and discuss the architecture of the functional system and the novel social engineering algorithms that power it. ii Acknowledgments I would first like to thank my parents, John Koshy and Susan John, for their unwavering love and support in all my endeavours. I would like to thank my supervisor, Kris Bubendorfer, for his valuable guidance and support throughout my thesis. Kyle Chard and Ben Palmer have my thanks for their contributions and feedback in the course of au- thoring the IEEE e-Science paper on the Social Cloud for Public eResearch. Many thanks are also due to Andy Linton for his help with managing the development and test server for the Social Cloud for Public eResearch.

Deploying and Maintaining a Campus Grid at Clemson University A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters Computer Science by Dru Sepulveda May 2009 Accepted by: Sebastien Goasguen, Committee Chair Mark Smotherman Steven Stevenson Abstract Many institutions have all the tools needed to create a local grid that aggregates commodity compute resources into an accessible grid service, while simultaneously maintaining user satisfaction and system security. In this thesis, the author presents a three-tiered strategy used at Clemson University to deploy and maintain a grid infrastructure by making resources available to both local and federated remote users for scientific research. Using this approach virtually no compute cycles are wasted. Usage trends and power consumption statistics collected from the Clemson campus grid are used as a reference for best-practices. The loosely-coupled components that comprise the campus grid work together to form a highly cohesive infrastructure that not only meets the computing needs of local users, but also helps to fill the needs of the scientific community at large.

However, that people are willing to change their current practice and say that they want to participate in Grid efforts does not mean that they are actually going to do that. Need to generate trust in the organisation that manages the Grid. People want to donate computing time for scientific applications, especially medical applications. They do not like to donate computing time to commercial or defense applications. People want feedback on the application they are running. No clear technical barriers perceived by the respondents: so this does not need much attention. Overall the respondents were rather positive about donating computing time for a Grid or about running applications on a Grid.

Currently on one side there are millions of volunteers willing to share their CPU power and on the other side there are scientists who need this CPU power but don't really know how to obtain this from the volunteers. Thus the main purpose of this report is to suggest different institutional arrangements that would lower the entry barrier for scientists to Volunteer Cloud Computing, and in particular present such resources to them as a service that was fully compatible with the way they use their current computing infrastructure.

  • BOINC: a Platform for Volunteer Computing
    BOINC: A Platform for Volunteer Computing David P. Anderson University of California, Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory Berkeley, CA 94720 [email protected] December 9, 2018 Abstract “Volunteer computing” is the use of consumer digital devices for high-throughput scientific computing. It can provide large computing capacity at low cost, but presents challenges due to device heterogeneity, unreliability, and churn. BOINC, a widely-used open-source middleware system for volunteer computing, addresses these challenges. We describe its features, architecture, and implementation. Keywords BOINC, volunteer computing, distributed computing, scientific computing, high-throughput computing 1. Introduction 1.1 Volunteer computing Volunteer computing (VC) is the use of consumer digital devices, such as desktop and laptop computers, tablets, and smartphones, for high-throughput scientific computing. Device owners participate in VC by installing a program that downloads and executes jobs from servers operated by science projects. There are currently about 30 VC projects in many scientific areas and at many institutions. The research enabled by VC has resulted in numerous papers in Nature, Science, PNAS, Physical Review, Proteins, PloS Biology, Bioinformatics, J. of Mol. Biol., J. Chem. Phys, and other top journals [1]. About 700,000 devices are actively participating in VC projects. These devices have about 4 million CPU cores and 560,000 GPUs, and collectively provide an average throughput of 93 PetaFLOPS. The devices are primarily modern, high-end computers: they average 16.5 CPU GigaFLOPS and 11.4 GB of RAM, and most have a GPU capable of general-purpose computing using OpenCL or CUDA. 1 The potential capacity of VC is much larger: there are more than 2 billion consumer desktop and laptop computers [2].

GRID COMPUTING A distributed computing environment that uses its own resources to handle computational tasks. Grid VS Cluster Loosely coupled Tightly coupled systems (Decentralization) Single system image Diversity and Dynamism Centralized Job Distributed Job management & scheduling Management & scheduling system Volunteer computing. Volunteer computing is an arrangement in which people (volunteers) provide computing resources to projects, which use the resources to do distributed computing and/or storage. ● Volunteers are typically members of the general public who own Internet-connected PCs. Organizations such as schools and businesses may also volunteer the use of their computers. ● Projects are typically academic (university-based) and do scientific research. But there are exceptions; for example, GIMPS and distributed.net (two major projects) are not academic www.bonic.com What is B.O.I.N.C ? is a massive open-source grid computing tool by the university of berkeley. How BOINC works ? How the software works CREDIT The project's server keeps track of how much work your computer has done; this is called credit. To ensure that credit is granted fairly, most BOINC projects work as follows: ● Each task may be sent to two computers. ● When a computer reports a result, it claims a certain amount of credit, based on how much CPU time was used.
