Abstract:

Existing Volunteer Computing environments are usually dedicated to one project/application and, what is very often unwelcome nowadays; require some software to be installed on each volunteer PC. Moreover, the environments are not completely platform-independent so it is not possible to use a fast growing mobiles computation potential. The idea of utilizing a web browser as an environment for executing a volunteer computational task addresses the last issue. The paper presents an extensible, component oriented volunteer computing platform that may be easily adapted to different problems. After reviewing existing solutions, the architecture and behavior of the platform is discussed, and simulation results are given.
