== Overview ==
BOINC@TACC allows researchers with TACC or [[XSEDE]] allocations to run small, loosely coupled high-throughput jobs on volunteered hardware instead of spending their supercomputer allocation time on them.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=XSEDE |title=User News: BOINC@TACC |url=https://www.xsede.org/news/user-news/-/news/item/11493 |work=xsede.org |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> The project's stated goal is to free up TACC's supercomputers for tightly coupled, compute- and memory-intensive parallel jobs by offloading independent, "embarrassingly parallel" work to a [[BOINC]] server that, in turn, distributes it to volunteer clients.<ref name="hpcwire" /> The project's lead is Ritu Arora, a research scientist at TACC.<ref name="hpcwire" /> BOINC@TACC has supported research spanning aerospace engineering, computational biology, and earthquake engineering, among other domains.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

Volunteers can contribute either by running the standard [[BOINC]] client (which requires VirtualBox for the project's virtual-machine-based jobs) or, for institutional donors with cloud virtual machines, an alternative Docker-based mechanism developed specifically for the project.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu |title=ritua2/BOINCatTACC |url=https://github.com/ritua2/BOINCatTACC |work=GitHub |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Task availability on BOINC@TACC has historically been intermittent, since work is generated only as TACC researchers submit qualifying jobs rather than on a continuous schedule; during the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, volunteers reported a batch of virtual-machine-based tasks related to COVID-19 research becoming briefly available.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=AnandTech Forums |title=BOINC@TACC has work |url=https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/boinc-tacc-has-work.2579094/ |work=AnandTech Forums |date=2020-04-06 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== Software infrastructure ==
The BOINC@TACC codebase, hosted on [[GitHub]] under the LGPL-3.0 license, builds on the ''boinc-server-docker'' software originally developed by Marius Millea and extends it with several project-specific components.<ref name="github" />

=== Job routing and application deployment ===
A command-line back-end, ''stampede2-backend'', runs on Stampede2 and other TACC [[SLURM]]-scheduled Linux systems to determine whether a submitted job is eligible to run on volunteered BOINC clients rather than on TACC resources.<ref name="github" /> Researchers can also submit and track jobs through a web-based user interface built for the project.<ref name="github" /> Applications are packaged as Docker images through a component called MIDAS, which automatically generates Docker containers from source code so they can run either inside [[VirtualBox]] on traditional BOINC clients or directly inside Docker on volunteered cloud virtual machines through a mechanism called VolCon.<ref name="github" /> Pre-built Docker images maintained by the project team have included [[AutoDock]] Vina, [[BEDTools]], [[BLAST (biotechnology)|BLAST]], [[Bowtie (sequence analysis)|Bowtie]], [[GROMACS]], HTSeq, [[LAMMPS]], [[NAMD]], and [[OpenSees]].<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

=== Reef cloud storage ===
Result files produced by BOINC@TACC jobs are stored using ''Reef'', a lightweight, reusable cloud storage component built for the project (also described in the literature under the name ''Greyfish''). Reef can be deployed either as a single storage node ("pocket Reef") or, for larger workloads, as a distributed system with a manager node and one or more remote storage nodes.<ref name="github" />

=== Credit system ===
Like other BOINC projects, BOINC@TACC computes each volunteer's Recent Average Credit (RAC) as an exponentially weighted moving average that gives more weight to recently granted credit and decays older contributions with a half-life of one week. Following BOINC's general credit-accounting scheme, whenever new credit <math>c</math> is granted at a time interval <math>\Delta t</math> after the previous update, the RAC is recalculated as

<math>\text{RAC}_{\text{new}} = \text{RAC}_{\text{old}} \cdot e^{-\Delta t \ln 2 / T} + \frac{c}{T}\left(1 - e^{-\Delta t \ln 2 / T}\right)</math>

where <math>T</math> is the credit half-life (seven days).<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Anderson, David P. |title=BOINC: A Platform for Volunteer Computing |url=https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.01699 |work=arXiv |date=2019 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |authors=BOINC |title=CreditStats |url=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/CreditStats |work=GitHub |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> As with several smaller BOINC projects, BOINC@TACC has not published its statistics through third-party aggregators such as [[BOINCstats]] or Free-DC, so detailed current figures for active users, hosts, and average performance are not publicly available.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=AnandTech Forums |title=BOINC@TACC has work |url=https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/boinc-tacc-has-work.2579094/ |work=AnandTech Forums |date=2020-04-06 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== Volunteering ==
Volunteers can join BOINC@TACC either by attaching the standard [[BOINC]] client to the project (requiring [[VirtualBox]] for virtual-machine-based tasks), or, for donors offering cloud-based virtual machines, by using the project's alternative VolCon software.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Researchers eligible to submit jobs include TACC users, researchers from any of the 14 University of Texas System institutions, and, historically, researchers accessing TACC resources through [[XSEDE]].<ref name="hpcwire" />
