XtremLab |
Introduction
XtremLab is a project which measures the free resources available on personal computers involved in large-scale distributed computing. Ultimately, these measurements will be used to improve the design and implementation of current systems. The project has been able to monitor 32,000 nodes in 18 months. From this experiment we have collected and analyzed more than 17 millions results.
NOTE: The project is currently stopped and not collecting new traces. We may resume the project with a new version of the application in the future. Collected data is publicly accessible here.

Science
[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"
The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important. ]
Results
[Where known, we should attempt to keep track of each project's publications. A good list to draw from is here. ]
Links of Interest
[Why recreate the wheel; there are lots of great sources out there.; a good list of sources can be really useful to the reader.]
XtremLab In the Classroom
[For each project, please add a "[Projectname] in the Classroom" section-- with a link to Volunteer Computing In the Classroom and an article named "[Projectname] in the Classroom". (Then please add "[Projectname] in the Classroom" to the list on the main Education page.)]
