The research of MESCAL on desktop grids has been very active and fruitful during the evaluation period. The main achievements concern the collection and statistical exploitation of traces in volunteer computing systems. Such models have enabled to optimize the behavior of volunteer computing systems or to extend the scope of their applicability. Such traces have also been used in SIMGRID to simulate volunteer computing systems at unprecedented scale.
