Legión - sistema de computación en Grid

Resumen

It is not often possible to acquire a large computing infrastructure dedicated to the execution of computationally intensive applications within university environments in developing countries due to their high cost. Drawing on the resources available in the computer labs of universities themselves, the problem can be solved by implementing a Desktop Grid Computing.

This document shows the Legion System, which allows you to manage multiple projects using computer-intensive Desktop Grid Computing implementation raised by the BOINC infrastructure. With the solution implemented in Legion, researches in different areas will have access to broad existent computacional resources inside university campuses, through a web user interface, hidding the complexity of the grid computing system to the end user.
