I work at an open science NGO that has been approached by a developer who is interested in making a public portal !boinc BOINC project. The basic idea is that scientific researchers could submit workunits for a number of popular science apps (molecular modeling etc) to be distributed and crunched by volunteers using BOINC....
BOINC and folding@home are similar in how they work in that they are both volunteer computing platforms. Folding@home is closed source, proprietary, run by a single research group, BOINC is open source and used by many different research groups working on various topics from health to astrophysics.
The idea here is to build a BOINC server where researchers can submit work to the server and get results without having to run their own BOINC server in the process.
Is that data compressible? A few GB for an input or output file isn’t entirely unmanageable from our perspective. Not ideal, but workable. What are some popular OSS tools used in your field?
