SCOLARS (Scalable Complex Large Scale Volunteer
Computing) is a VC platform built on top of BOINC. It
presents two main contributions: i) inter-client transfers
(for intermediate output), and ii) hash based task validation
(where only a hash of the output is validated on the central
server). However, it presents the same issues as the previous
solution: only point-to-point transfers and no intermediate
data replication.
