Abstract

Abstract – “Volunteer computing ” uses Internetconnected computers, volunteered by their owners, as a source of computing power and storage. This paper studies the potential capacity of volunteer computing. We analyzed measurements of about 200,000 hosts participating in a volunteer computing project. These measurements include processing power, memory, disk space, network throughput, host availability, userspecified limits on resource usage, and host churn. We show that volunteer computing can support applications that are significantly more data-intensive, or have high memory and storage requirements, than those in current projects. 1
