Background information: | |||
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). | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
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): | |||
* 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. | |||
