BONIC

  • Public Resource Computing Platform
  • Gives scientists the ability to use large amounts of computation resources.
  • The clients do not connect directly with each other but instead they talk to a central server located at Berkley
  • The goals of Bonic are:
  • 1) reduce the barriers of entry
  • 2) Share resources among autonomous projects
  • 3) Support diverse applications
  • 4) Reward participants.
A BONIC application can be identified by a single master URL, 
which serves as the homepage as well as the directory of the servers.

SETI@Home

  • Uses public resource computing to analyze radio signals to find extraterrestrial intelligence
  • Need good quality telescope to search for radio signals, and lots of computational power, which was unavailable locally
  • It has not yet found extraterrestrial intelligence, but its has established credibility of public resource computing projects which are given by the public
  • Uses BONIC as a backbone for the project
  • Uses relational database to store information on a large scale, further it uses a multi-threaded server to distribute work to clients
