| | 3 | OGM (TODO: pick a better name) is a system for grid computing |
| | 4 | on organizational resources, using BOINC. |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | OGM assumes the following: |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | * There is a set of "resource pools" (groups of computers). Each resource pool is managed by an organizational unit (e.g. a research group, a university department, a division of a company, etc.). |
| | 9 | * There is a set of BOINC projects that are allowed to use these resources. These projects are operated by organizations, some of which may also manage resource pools. |
| | 10 | * The set of organizations has agreed to cooperate in the sharing of computer resources. |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | OGM manages resource usage. |
| | 13 | Based on requests and constraints from resource providers and consumers, |
| | 14 | it decides which projects to attach to which computers, |
| | 15 | and what resource share should be assigned. |
