"This book reviews various approaches in desktop grid computing useful for implementing and solving many important sub-problems of middleware design, such as scheduling, data management, security, load balancing, and fault tolerance. With numerous tablesand illustrations, the text balances the theory of designing desktop grid middleware and architecture with practical applications and real-world deployment on large scale platforms. Each chapter presents sub-problems, discusses the theoretical and practical issues, details chosen implementation and experiments, and offers references for further reading"--

Contributors--presumably computer scientists, though they do not say so--analyze various approaches in desktop grid computing, which entails applications running across a number of personal computers in a loose network. Among the topics are a volunteer computing platform experience for neuromuscular disease problems, challenges in designing scheduling profiles in volunteer computing, security and result certification, roles of desktop grids in hybrid distributed computing infrastructures, and network awareness in volunteer networks. The book can serve as a textbook for a graduate or undergraduate course or as a self-contained overview of the relevant desktop grid models.

Arvustused

I think that this book is a necessity-a necessity for researchers, teachers, students, and for people concerned by this topic in the industry. ... I hope that readers of this book will feel the extraordinary freedom that researchers in desktop grids or volunteer computing enjoy. I hope that students will engage themselves in this research domain and continue to reinvent it. -Franck Cappello, Co-Director, INRIA-Illinois Joint Laboratory on PetaScale Computing
