  • Quality Modeling in Grid and Volunteer-Computing Systems

    Publikacja

    - Rok 2013

    A model of computational quality in large-scale computing systems was presented in the previous chapter of this book. This model describes three quality attributes: performance, reliability and energy efficiency. We assumed that all processes in the system are incessantly ready to perform calculations and that communication between the processes occurs immediately. These assumptions are not true for grid and volunteer computing...

This chapter presents an application of a mathematical model of the volunteer computing presented in Volume 1 of this...

  • Alternative Modeling of Volunteer Based Systems

    Publikacja

    - Rok 2016

    The canonical approach to model a flow of a voluntary based computing, as presented in Chapter 7 may tax the capacity of the simulator, especially when a more complex model of Voluntary Computing, proposed in [1], is used which would imply that, for typical heterogeneous groups of volunteers, several thousands of threads would have to be run inside the simulator, to mimic closely the behaviour of every volunteer. This chapter presents...
