The Challenge Why don't you run "real" LHC physics on
BOINC?
The Challenge Why don't you run "real" LHC physics on
BOINC?
Problems: Heterogeneity
Problems: Porting code
Problems: Large & complex libraries
Problems: Experiments workflow • Jobs should be sent using CERN
distribution systems. • Volunteer computing resources should be: ◦ managed and ◦ trustful
BOINC + CernVM

BOINC Become a citizen scientist
Summary • BOINC + Virtualization = Custom execution environments ◦
Multi-core support ◦ Virtualization sandbox (possible to encrypt virtual hard disk!) ◦ Develop, maintain and work in one platform. ◦ Support out of the box most popular PC OSes • The community is very important
Thank you!
