Private Cloud System Based on BOINC with Support for Parallel and Distributed Simulation

Cloud computing provides an efficient way to expose computing capabilities as sophisticated services that can be accessed remotely. It eliminates the need for organizations to maintain extensive infrastructures. Parallel and distributed simulation over cloud will bring us not only the increased productivity and efficiency but also the lower barrier for usage. This paper introduces a private cloud system based on BOINC which supports parallel and distributed simulation. The design idea and implementation method of each component for our system is discussed in detail.
