  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

  27. Test4Theory New developments: multi core Multi-core support

  28. Test4Theory New developments Web application to show the VM results

  29. Test4Theory Web application

  30. Test4Theory Video tutorial + HTML5

  31. Test4Theory New developments P2P University courses

  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
