“…It has been successfully demonstrated that it is possible to run simulations of a climatic model using infrastructure in the cloud; while this might not seem complex, to the best of our knowledge, it has never previously been tested. This efficient use of MTC resources for scientific computing has previously been used to facilitate real research in other areas (Añel et al, 2014;Schaller et al, 2014).…”

Volunteer or crowd computing is becoming increasingly popular for solving complex research problems from an increasingly diverse range of areas. The majority of these have been built using the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) platform, which provides a range of different services to manage all computation aspects of a project. The BOINC system is ideal in those cases where not only does the research community involved need low-cost access to massive computing resources but also where there is a significant public interest in the research being done. We discuss the way in which cloud services can help BOINC-based projects to deliver results in a fast, on demand manner. This is difficult to achieve using volunteers, and at the same time, using scalable cloud resources for short on demand projects can optimize the use of the available resources. We show how this design can be used as an efficient distributed computing platform within the cloud, and outline new approaches that could open up new possibilities in this field, using Climateprediction.net (http://www. climateprediction.net/) as a case study.

“…A middleware is needed for task and data distribution. Volunteer computing was made possible only after the development of middleware systems such as JXTA, XtremeWeb, and Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) . BOINC was initially designed for PCs but was later in 2014 extended for mobile devices.…”

Summary Today, the world is witnessing an exponential growth in the computational capabilities and storage capabilities of mobile devices. This has inspired application developers to create new and interesting applications for mobile devices. The applications have varied resource requirements and mobile devices are heterogeneous in their configurations. The idea of this research is to design a model for resource sharing among mobile devices so that any type of application can be run on a mobile device with the help of other such devices in close geographical proximity. A novel architecture for managing a group of volunteer nodes with unused or underused resources is designed and algorithms that are required for its operation are developed. The purpose of this research is to shift the focus towards futuristic computing paradigm where seamless resource sharing in the network would be feasible with explicitly all mobile nodes and without any dependency on fixed infrastructures. An extensive evaluation of the proposed Explicit Mobile Cloud (EMCloud) has been undertaken for mobile nodes in the network. It includes experience with a prototype that demonstrates EMCloud's performance. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms the state‐of‐the‐art Serendipity, OpenNebula, and Eucalyptus prototypes in terms of success rate and average delay for different network density, mobility, network load, and extent of hierarchy.
