[Swift-devel] talk today's talk: Swift Innovation for BOINC

[Ioan Raicu]

Hi all,
Today's talk will be by Xu Du, and is titled "Swift Innovation for BOINC".

The talk abstract is:
Swift is a professional distributed computing platform which performs 
excellently at workflow control. But the previous swift system can only 
work with Grid sites. However, besides of Grid, volunteer distributed 
computing systems are also important computing resources. Among those 
volunteer distributed computing systems, BOINC is the most outstanding 
one. So it is significant that Swift can not only work with Grid but 
also work with BOINC. Swift Innovation for BOINC is such a project that 
innovates Swift so that it can work with BOINC. The main task of the 
project is to design and implement a “BOINC provider” in SWIFT and a 
“SWIFT adapter” in BOINC, by which Swift can submit jobs to BOINC and 
get back result after the jobs are executed. Up to now, a prototype has 
been worked out. This talk will first introduce the design and implement 
of Swift Innovation for BOINC, and then demo the prototype.

See you at 4:30PM in RI405!

Cheers,
Ioan
