- Volunteer Computing on Clusters
- Clusters typically represent a homogeneous, well maintained pool of high-end computation resources. This makes them particularly attractive for volunteer computing, where unused compute cycles are utilized for scientific guest applications.. In this paper the authors present measurements on a production compute cluster that show long periods of CPU and memory...
