Volunteer PC hosts represent massive computation capacity at a low cost but are challenging to employ for general parallel computing. This paper presents the design, execution model, implementation, and evaluation of the Volpex framework for robust execution of parallel codes on volunteer PC grids characterized by system and network heterogeneity, varying availability, and frequent failures. The communication...
Volunteer computing is being used successfully for large scale scientific computations. This research is in the context of Volpex, a programming framework that supports communicating parallel processes in a volunteer environment. Redundancy and checkpointing are combined to ensure consistent forward progress with Volpex in this unique execution environment characterized by heterogeneous failure prone...
