Distribuidor de Tarefas para uma plataforma de Computação Voluntária utilizando WebAssembly
Abstract
Volunteer Computing has profoundly changed scientific computing by allowing the use of idle computing resources from collaborators geographically dispersed around the world. Nevertheless, the most popular platforms require the installation of specific software on the collaborator’s machine to obtain computational resources, which can hinder its adoption by new volunteers. In order to simplify the use of Volunteer Computing, this work proposes the use of software compiled for WebAssembly — a new assembly-like language that can be executed by modern browsers — and a Web application to support the distribution and execution of tasks, as well the validation and retrieval of results.References
