National Science FoundationNSF Software Development for Cyberinfrastructure (SDCI) ProgramOffice of CyberinfrastructureProposal Number: 0721124Principal Investigator: David AndersonInstitution: University of California-BerkeleyProposal Title: SDCI NMI Improvement: Middleware for Volunteer Computing AbstractThis project will improve and maintain a middleware system supporting distributed computing on massive scale by turning personal computing platforms into a set of shared compute platforms. This system is called BOINC, and is best known in an earlier incarnation called SETI@Home. The system leverages volunteer computing, time and compute cycles donated by individual PC's, clusters, and soon gaming devices such as Playstation3. BOINC is the distributed client/server middleware on which science projects build applications. This proposal improves BOINC improves the versatility of the middleware, expands available platform usage, and supports and maintains the software base. The intellectual merit includes further exploration into the utility of volunteer computing, a specific and increasingly important distributed computing model. Broader impact is represented in the more than 30 current BOINC-based projects supporting a wide range of scientific disciplines. The proposed work promises to strengthen support for existing projects and lay the groundwork for new types of projects to make use of BOINC and the distributed resources it can access.

美国国家科学基金会NSF网络基础设施软件开发（SDCI）计划办公室网络基础设施提案编号：0721124主要研究员：David Anderson机构：加州大学伯克利分校提案标题：SDCI NMI改进：志愿者计算中间件摘要该项目将通过将个人转变为支持大规模分布式计算的中间件系统来改进和维护支持大规模分布式计算的中间件系统。 计算平台分解为一组共享计算平台。该系统称为 BOINC，最出名的是其早期版本 SETI@Home。该系统利用个人电脑、集群以及即将推出的 Playstation3 等游戏设备捐赠的志愿者计算、时间和计算周期。 BOINC 是分布式客户端/服务器中间件，科学项目在其上构建应用程序。该提案改进了BOINC，提高了中间件的多功能性，扩展了可用平台的使用，并支持和维护软件基础。智力价值包括进一步探索志愿者计算的效用，这是一种特定且日益重要的分布式计算模型。目前有 30 多个基于 BOINC 的项目，支持广泛的科学学科，具有更广泛的影响。拟议的工作有望加强对现有项目的支持，并为新型项目利用 BOINC 及其可访问的分布式资源奠定基础。
