RE: Booked my travel & accommodation for the 2018 BOINC Workshop in Oxford between 24rd & 27th of July!
Will you be talking about the idea of microgrid?
Will you be talking about the idea of microgrid?
microgrid is still too early for something like this -- keep in eye out in the coming weeks for some writings on the project.
Maybe talk wasn't the right word. I meant more of a brief mention of microgrid. Do you think it's still to early for that?
yes
microgrid? I'm not sure of this concept?
I'm primarily focused on the proof of userId ownership via public key crypto & fostering better relations between the BOINC & Gridcoin communities.
Microgrid is an idea that allows people who can't afford a super computer but don't have enough work for a BOINC project, to submit smaller batches to a larger project. Similar to world community grid but for a larger set of projects that can be very short. There was a fireside discussion, here is the link.
So a commercial BOINC project? It'd be interesting to create one, we aught to create another boinc project brainstorming thread - so as to attract more attention to the concept.
Not quite, it would be more of a community run type thing. It would allow smaller institution/any researcher to use BOINC but for free and without having to have a constant and large workload. I use world community grid as a comprison because of the mixing of diffrent work without one central computation.
