BOINC Universal Docker app (BUDA) is a framework for running Docker-based apps on BOINC.

The goal of BUDA is to let scientists use a BOINC project to

  • Develop Docker-based applications (possibly using GPUs).
  • Run batches of jobs (with different input files and command lines) with these applications.
  • Monitor these jobs and download their output files.

... entirely through a simple web interface, with no need to understand anything about BOINC or log into the project's BOINC server.

If you're a scientist using a BUDA-enabled BOINC project, read about BUDA job submission.

If you administer a BOINC project and want to BUDA-enable it, read about BUDA setup. To learn how it works, read BUDA implementation.
