|purpose= What is the purpose of the UNIT?
|purpose= Provide help the EGI community members (VO managers/operators, heavy users, etc.) who intend to utilize the large-scale and low-cost Desktop Grid resources (offered by volunteers), such as EDGeS@home or SZTAKI Desktop Grid infrastructure.
|components= For which components do you provide support?
 
|service quality= Which quality of service (QoS) will you provide?
Background information:
|assigned by=Who will assign tickets to UNIT (e.g. DMSU, TPM)?
 
|solved by=Are tickets typically solved in UNIT or reassigned elsewhere?
A large set of EGI '''applications''' are suitable for Desktop Grid resources as well, e.g. parameter studies, master-worker type, Monte Carlo type simulations, bag-of-tasks, model refinement, etc. EGI AppDB contains more than 20 Desktop Grid enabled applications using BOINC and similar middleware technologies as the result of three successfully completed Desktop Grid related FP7 projects (EDGeS, EDGI, DEGISCO).
|responsible=Who is responsible for UNIT?
Moreover, the Generic BOINC Application Client (GBAC), clouds and further virtualization technologies related to Desktop Grids enable the execution of a class of EGI applications efficiently and natively, i.e. without modification.
|documentation= What documentation is available on UNIT?
|more=What if I have questions which are not dealt with by this FAQ?
Concerning the '''infrastructure''' side; MTA SZTAKI from NGI_HU with the strong support from the International Desktop Grid Federation (http://www.desktopgridfederation.org, http://www.idgf-sp.eu) provides bridges between EGI VOs and Desktop Grid resources in order to seamlessly integrate them.
|sortname=Idgf
MTA SZTAKI operates two large-scale and integrated volunteer Desktop Grids, and offers them for the EGI users (through production level bridges) with more than 6000 average number of cores available from Desktop Grids (https://metrics.egi.eu/activity_metrics/task-sa1/QR12):
|comments=Additional information
* SZTAKI Desktop Grid (http://szdg.lpds.sztaki.hu/szdg) dedicated particularly for NGI_HU users: all-together 100.000 registered computers and 600 million credits (in BOINC terminology) or normalized CPU hours (in kSI2K used in EGI) have been delivered since 2005, and
* EDGeS@home (http://home.edges-grid.eu) allocated for EGI users: recently reached the 300 million credits or normalized CPU hours that have been delivered since 2009.
 
 
|components= The IDGF Support Unit provides assistance for Desktop Grid related technologies:
* Generic Grid-Grid Bridge (3G Bridge, http://sourceforge.net/projects/edges-3g-bridge)
* gLite modified CREAM CE (http://doc.desktopgrid.hu/doku.php?id=component:glitemce)
* Generic BOINC Application Client (GBAC, http://gbac.sourceforge.net/)
* DC-API (http://doc.desktopgrid.hu/doku.php?id=component:dcapi)
* GenWrapper (http://sourceforge.net/projects/genwrapper)
* SZTAKI Desktop Grid (SZDG) package (http://doc.desktopgrid.hu/doku.php?id=component:szdg)
and infrastructures:
* SZTAKI Desktop Grid (http://szdg.lpds.sztaki.hu/)
* EDGeS@Home infrastructure (http://home.edges-grid.eu)
|service quality= [[FAQ_GGUS-QoS-Levels]]
|assigned by= TPM
|solved by= IDGF Support Unit
|responsible= MTA SZTAKI from the Hungarian NGI with strong co-operation with the FP7 IDGF-SP project (http://www.idgf-sp.eu) and the IDGF community (http://www.desktopgridfederation.org).
|documentation= Desktop Grid knowledge base at http://doc.desktopgrid.hu or at http://desktopgridfederation.org/technical-wiki.
|more= Open a GGUS ticket (http://ticket.ggus.org) indicating that it should be directed to the IDGF Support Unit.
