The 7th BOINC Workshop

A workshop on BOINC and volunteer computing will be held 18-19 August 2011 in Hannover, Germany.

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
  • Multi-user projects
  • Remote job submission
  • Integration with hubs, clouds, grids, and desktop grids
  • OpenID

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.

Venue

The workshop will be held at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Hannover, Germany.

Registration

The workshop is free but attendance is limited. If you are interested in attending, or have any questions, please contact David Anderson, indicating your areas of interest.

Talks

All participants are encouraged to give a short (~20 min) talk describing their work with BOINC. Please send your talk title to David Anderson.
