6. The Challenge Why don't you run "real" LHC physics on BOINC?
7. The Challenge Why don't you run "real" LHC physics on BOINC?
8. Problems: Heterogeneity
9. Problems: Porting code
10. Problems: Large & complex libraries
11. Problems: Experiments workflow • Jobs should be sent using CERN distribution systems. • Volunteer computing resources should be: ◦ managed and ◦ trustful
12. BOINC + CernVM
13. Test4Theory

32. BOINC Become a citizen scientist
33. 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
