Title
Lightweight Volunteer Computing Platform using Web Workers.
Abstract
Volunteer computing is a very appealing way of utilizing vast available resources in an efficient way. However currently available platforms supporting this computing style are either difficult to use or not available at all, being the results of e.g. finished scientific projects. In this paper a novel, lightweight volunteer computing platform is presented. In order to contribute the resources to this platform, only a web-browser is required without the need to install any additional plug-ins or other software. In this paper, besides general considerations and presentation of the platform structure and functionalities, selected results proving its efficiency are shown.
