ComBoS

Description

ComBoS is a complete simulator of BOINC infrastructures.

ComBoS offers many advantages compared with other BOINC simulators, among them:
 

NONE OF THEM ALLOW US TO SIMULATE THE COMPLETE INFRASTRUCTURE OF BOINC.

Our goal was to create a complete simulator that, unlike the existing ones, could simulate realistic scenarios taking into account the whole BOINC infrastructure, that other simulators do not consider: projects, servers, network, redundant computing, scheduling, and volunteer nodes.

THE OUTPUTS OF THE SIMULATIONS ALLOW US TO ANALYZE A WIDE RANGE OF STATISTICAL RESULTS,

such as the throughput of each project, the number of jobs executed by the clients, the total credit granted and the average occupation of the BOINC servers.
