SimBA (Simulator of BOINC Applications) is a discrete event simulator that models the main functions of BOINC, which is a well-known framework used in Volunteer Computing (VC) projects. SimBA simulates the generation and distribution of tasks that are executed in a highly volatile, heterogeneous, and distributed environment as well as the collection and validation of completed tasks. To understand...
Volunteer computing projects supported by BOINC have been exploring new research directions. For example, mature projects like Folding@home are moving towards the use of a broader range of architectures and computers. Other projects such as Docking@Home are exploring multi-scale, resource-driven and application-driven adaptations of the volunteer system. This paper presents results that enforce the...
Predicting the structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence is a complex process, the understanding of which could be used to gain new insight into the nature of protein functions or provide targets for structure-based design of drugs to treat new and existing diseases. While protein structures can be accurately modeled using computational methods based on all-atom physics-based force fields...
