Volunteer Computing is a kind of distributed computing that harnesses the aggregated spare
computing resources of volunteer devices. It provides a cheaper and greener alternative …

Volunteer computing is a form of network based distributed computing, which allows public
participants to share their idle computing resources, and helps run computationally …

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 …

Volunteer computing networks are made up of a large number of computing devices owned
by volunteers who want to donate their computing resources to help with large-scale …

The paper surveys the state of the art of task scheduling in Desktop Grid computing systems.
We describe the general architecture of a Desktop Grid system and the computing model …

We consider Internet‐based master–worker task computations, such as SETI@ home, where
a master process sends tasks, across the Internet, to worker processes; workers execute and …

Volunteer computing systems such as BOINC use several interacting scheduling policies,
which must address multiple requirements across a large space of usage scenarios. In …

Commercial and private cloud providers offer virtualized resources via a set of co-located
and dedicated hosts that are exclusively reserved for the purpose of offering a cloud service …

The AREA of a schedule for executing DAGs is the average number of DAG-chores that are
eligible for execution at each step of the computation. AREA maximization is a new …

Due to flexible scheduling requirements of various service applications, a cloud platform
usually has some temporarily unleased machines. To make cost-effective of the platform …
