Volunteer Computing is a subset of Desktop Grids– Resources are “volatile”– There is not an unique system administrator– Very energy efficient as no incremental use at home
Joint EGEE and EDGeS Summer School on Grid Application SupportBudapest 2009 June 29 – July 4.
Ibercivis motivation
To approach external resources usage (volunteer) to internal resources usage (clusters)
To allow more applications in this infrastructure (typically one BOINC project only hosts one application)
To support a big number of users (and WUs)

Overview
Scalar approach:– Tasks: separate work package for each partner (Spain)– Architecture: different servers for upload and download
Management
Joint EGEE and EDGeS Summer School on Grid Application SupportBudapest 2009 June 29 – July 4.
Developments
To allow more connections: distributed infrastructure4 machines in Backbone BOINC/ibercivis
New servers are being deployed (Portugal connection)
Joint EGEE and EDGeS Summer School on Grid Application SupportBudapest 2009 June 29 – July 4.
Developments
To increase applications range: long jobs managementDifferent mechanism to fraction_done or checkpointing (as
this grants credits for each subjob):– A job is divided into subjobs, order matters– Each subjob is a workunit– Workunits are sent to clients– When a workunit (result) comes back, we check if it is
the final subjob (after validation, assimilation and credits)
– If not, it is resent to another client
• We call this “continuity”

Developments
Easier access for researchers: shell && priority && monitoring Shell scripts of commands:icivis_debug, icivis_send_job,

EDGeS connection
From our point of view EDGeS VO is just a client
We will receive jobs soon

New Applications Call is open

Participants
Total users: 12.000Total cores: 50.000Daily, around 2.000 users and 7.000 cores connectedWe manage around 2 Wus/sec
During June 2009 we have launched awards (laptops) for participants with higher time of CPU connected in order to boost participation

Conclusions
Spanish national volunteer computing initiativeResearchers oriented developments carried outVery good usage reports (feedback) from usersInfrastructure is being highly usedIncreasing number of volunteers connected
