Browser-based Harnessing of Voluntary Computational Power

Abstract: Abstract. Computers connected to internet represent an immense computing power, mostly unused by their owners. One way to utilize this public resource is via world wide web, where users can share their resources using nothing more except their browsers. We survey the techniques employing the idea of browser-based voluntary computing (BBVC), discuss their commonalities, recognize recurring problems and their solutions and finally we describe a prototype implementation aiming at efficient mining of voluntary-con… Show more

“…Several systems have been built that do volunteer computing in a web browser: volunteers open a particular page and a Java or Javascript program runs [21]. These systems haven't been widely used for various reasons: volunteers eventually close the window, C and FORTRAN science applications aren't supported, and so on.…”

“…Fabisiak et al [43] have surveyed more than 45 different browserbased volunteer computing systems developed over more than two decades. They grouped the publications in three generations, that followed the evolution of Web technologies: the first generation [28,32,37,46,81,90] was based on Java applets; the second generation [33,34,60,77] used JavaScript instead but was somewhat limited by its performance; and the third generation [39,41,63,73,74,76,85,89] fully emerged once performance issues were solved in multiple ways: JavaScript became competitive with C [57],…”
