Abstract

In Volunteer Computing (VC) systems, volunteer participants can contribute their idle computing resources by computing a piece of the computation (job) in their idle time. In existing VC systems, participants must put an extra effort, e.g. installing a dedicated software to their computers and register their personal E-mail addresses, which will be barriers to join as a participant. This paper proposes a web-based VC platform, in which participants can join to VC system by just accessing a specified URL with Web browsers. By using LLVM techniques such as PNaCL, VC jobs become convertible as fast-acting Web applications. As the results of our experiments based on Himeno Benchmark, we show that the performance of PNaCl codes on a web browser is equivalent of native one.
