The 6th BOINC Workshop

A workshop on BOINC and volunteer computing will be held 31 Aug - 1 Sept 2010, in London.

The objective of this workshop is to share information about BOINC and projects using it, through short presentations and informal discussions, in a relaxed, open and friendly atmosphere. The workshop aims to stimulate new developments and activities related to volunteer computing, and to guide the future development of BOINC.

The workshop is for researchers, scientists and developers with significant experience or interest in BOINC. Areas of interest include:

  • GPU and multi-thread applications; CUDA and OpenCL
  • Virtual machines as application container
  • Applications
  • Scheduling
  • Workflows
  • Integration with hubs, clouds, grids, and desktop grids

All participants will have the opportunity to present and discuss their work. Slides will be published on the web, but there will be no papers or proceedings.

The workshop is being held in conjunction with a Citizen Cyberscience Summit conference, to be held in the same location on 2-3 Sept. BOINC workshop attendees are encouraged to attend the CC Summit as well. There will be a small charge for the CC Summit conference; let me know if you are interested in attending.
