Concept of a multitask grid system with a flexible allocation of idle computational resources of supercomputers

Resumo

A new concept of a multitask distributed heterogeneous computing system is proposed. The basic principles of such system are that it uses only idle supercomputer resources and does it as a common user; thus, it does not conflict with the administration policy in any way. The efficiency of the proposed concept is demonstrated by the example of the real grid system that currently uses supercomputer resources to boost the performance of the SAT@home and OPTIMA@home volunteer distributed computing projects.
