volunteercomputing is an innovative approach to high performance computing that relies on volunteers who donate their personal computers' unused resources to a computationally intensive research project. Prominent volunteercomputing projects include SETI@home, Folding@Home, and The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS). Many volunteercomputing projects are built upon a volunteercomputing framework that abstracts functionality that is common to all volunteercomputing projects, such as network communications, database access, and project management. These volunteercomputing frameworks tend to be complex, limiting, and difficult to use. We have designed and implemented a new volunteercomputing framework called the Simple Light-weight Infrastructure for Network computing (SLINC) that addresses the disadvantages we identified with existing frameworks. SLINC is a flexible and extensible volunteercomputing framework that will enable researchers to more easily build volunteercomputing projects.
