====== Volpex ====== {{http://boincstats.com/image/projectLogo/volpex.png|Volpex}} ===== Project Description ===== The state of the art of parallel computing on volunteer nodes is generally limited to applications with “master- slave” or “bag-of-tasks” parallelism (a task does its own portion of the job without communicating with other tasks). The current bag-of-tasks model on BOINC works well. However, many scientific applications are not bag-of-task as they naturally require communication between tasks; therefore, they cannot run with BOINC without significant modifications. Our project aims to remove that limitation, enabling BOINC to work with a larger class of scientific applications so that we can support many more interesting projects that will benefit the world in the future. ==== Author(s) ==== Dr. Jaspal Subhlok Professor Department of Computer Science Dr. Edgar Gabriel Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Dr. Margaret Cheung Assistant Professor Department of Physics Rakhi Anand PhD Student Department of Computer Science Hien Nguyen Masters Student Department of Computer Science Dr. David Anderson Adjunct Professor Department of Computer Science Dr. Rong Zheng Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Troy LeBlanc PhD Student Department of Computer Science Eshwar Rohit Masters Student Department of Computer Science ==== Credentials ==== * Website: **http://volpex.cs.uh.edu/VCP/** * Join to team: **[[http://volpex.cs.uh.edu/VCP/team_display.php?teamid=33|Ukraine]]** ==== Significant dates ==== * First seen on: **2011-10-14** * Date of completion: Project is Active ===== Features ===== ==== OSes & Applications ==== ^ ^ Windows x86 ^ Windows x86_64 ^ Linux x86 ^ Linux x86_64 ^ MacOS X (Intel) ^ MacOS X (PowerPC) ^ ^REMD Protein Folding | {{:ru:yes.gif|}} | {{:ru:no.gif|}} | {{:ru:yes.gif|}} | {{:ru:yes.gif|}} | {{:ru:no.gif|}} | {{:ru:no.gif|}} |
