Scientists prepare a project which needs a huge computational power and, at the same time, can be divided in small parts that may be run as parallel computations. A server is prepared and the BOINC infrastructure installed on it. From that moment everyone connected to the Internet can download the client program. It monitors their computers and if only machine processor is becomes idle, it downloads the data and calculates. |
The Workstations available computer workstations available at Omega Verksted, as well as our server infrastructure, are used when idle. A portfolio of projects is used to distribute workloads across our various hosts according to current project demands.
