VERTICO
Projects | | Links: Tech Report | Source
In Volunteer Computing (VC), Volunteers donate their idle computers to many scientific projects like Folding@home for understanding protein folding and how it relates to disease. VC applies to the particular set of problems.
Typically VC projects work by breaking the problems into chunks called work units, which are sent to computers around the world to be analyzed. We are aiming to extend the idea of VC to different kinds of applications which live in the cloud, so that we minimize the operating cost.
VC for Cloud is challenging problem till today. Addressing those issues and providing possible solution design is our goal.
The end product will have many benefits, for example, an organization can minimize the Power bills and donate monetary credits to Volunteers.
It is like a win-win situation for volunteers and organization. So we introduce VERTICO, stands for Volunteer Computing Research Cloud Framework. In this paper, we are giving possible solution design for VERTICO and its evaluations.
