Desktop Grids and Volunteer Computing are well-known terms related to the notion of
computing on loosely connected resources, usually personal computers, but also sometimes …

Abstract Desktop Grids, such as XtremWeb and BOINC, and Service Grids, such as EGEE,
are two different approaches for science communities to gather computing power from a …

Many practically important combinatorial problems can be efficiently reduced to a problem of
Boolean satisfiability (SAT). Therefore, the implementation of distributed algorithms for …

We experimentally evaluate the performance overhead of the virtual environments VMware
Player, QEMU, VirtualPC and VirtualBox on a dual-core machine. Firstly, we assess the …

Описывается процесс построения проектов добровольных вычислений, базирующихся
на платформе BOINC и предназначенных для решения задач, предполагающих …

Desktop grids represent an alternative trend in grid computing using the same software
infrastructure as volunteer computing projects, such as BOINC. Applications to be deployed …

Despite majority of production level grid applications are either parameter studies or
workflows some of them cannot fit into these categories and implement more complex …

Today basically two types of grid systems are in use: service grids and desktop grids.
Service grids offer an infrastructure for grid users, thus require notable management to keep …

Service grids and desktop grids are both promoted by their supportive communities as great
solutions for solving the available compute power problem and helping to balance loads …

In this paper a robust pattern recognition system, using an appearance-based
representation of colour images is described. Standard appearance-based approaches are …
