The project was developed and operated by the Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems ([[wikipedia:LPDS|LPDS]]) at the Institute for Computer Science and Control (MTA SZTAKI, now part of [[wikipedia:HUN-REN|HUN-REN]]) of the [[wikipedia:Hungarian Academy of Sciences|Hungarian Academy of Sciences]] in Budapest.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://sztaki.hun-ren.hu/en/government/services/sztaki-desktop-grid-discontinued |title=SZTAKI Desktop Grid - Discontinued |publisher=HUN-REN SZTAKI |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Beyond hosting public BOINC applications, SZDG was itself a research vehicle: SZTAKI&amp;#039;s developers extended the stock BOINC server and client software into a more flexible middleware platform, also called SZDG, that supported hierarchical organisation of desktop grids and an additional programming interface known as DC-API.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Balaton |first1=Zoltán |last2=Gombás |first2=Gábor |last3=Kacsuk |first3=Péter |last4=Kornafeld |first4=Ádám |last5=Kovács |first5=József |last6=Marosi |first6=Attila Csaba |last7=Vida |first7=Gábor |last8=Podhorszki |first8=Norbert |last9=Kiss |first9=Tamás |title=SZTAKI Desktop Grid: a Modular and Scalable Way of Building Large Computing Grids |journal=2007 IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium |year=2007 |pages=1–8 |doi=10.1109/IPDPS.2007.370668}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The project closed permanently in 2018.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
SZDG was launched on 26 May 2005.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2255831 |title=SZTAKI Desktop Grid |publisher=Wikidata |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It grew out of earlier desktop grid research at SZTAKI&amp;#039;s Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems, which had been exploring grid computing and the [[wikipedia:P-GRADE|P-GRADE]] portal, and was conceived from the outset both as a public volunteer computing project and as a testbed for new desktop grid middleware.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Kacsuk |first1=Péter |last2=Kovács |first2=József |last3=Farkas |first3=Zoltán |last4=Marosi |first4=Attila Csaba |last5=Gombás |first5=Gábor |last6=Balaton |first6=Zoltán |title=SZTAKI Desktop Grid (SZDG): A Flexible and Scalable Desktop Grid System |journal=Journal of Grid Computing |volume=7 |year=2009 |pages=439–461 |doi=10.1007/s10723-009-9139-y}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A central research contribution of the project was the concept of the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;hierarchical desktop grid&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: in standard BOINC, every volunteer host connects directly to a single central server, whereas SZDG allowed an entire desktop grid, or even a compute cluster, to act as a single &amp;quot;client&amp;quot; of a higher-level desktop grid server, taking and redistributing batches of work among its own local resources.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Kacsuk |first1=Péter |last2=Marosi |first2=Attila Csaba |last3=Kovács |first3=József |last4=Balaton |first4=Zoltán |last5=Gombás |first5=Gábor |last6=Vida |first6=Gábor |last7=Kornafeld |first7=Ádám |title=SZTAKI desktop grid: a hierarchical desktop grid system |journal=Cracow &amp;#039;06 Grid Workshop |year=2006}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This allowed academic institutions and companies to build internal, firewalled &amp;quot;Local Desktop Grids&amp;quot; that could, in turn, contribute idle capacity upward into larger desktop grids without exposing internal application code or data to the public Internet.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Marosi |first1=Attila Csaba |last2=Gombás |first2=Gábor |last3=Balaton |first3=Zoltán |last4=Kacsuk |first4=Péter |last5=Kiss |first5=Tamás |title=SZTAKI Desktop Grid: Building a Scalable, Secure Platform for Desktop Grid Computing |journal=Making Grids Work |year=2008 |pages=363–374 |doi=10.1007/978-0-387-78448-9_29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To make it easier for scientists to port existing, often sequential, programs onto the platform without learning the BOINC API directly, SZTAKI developed a higher-level programming interface called DC-API, which also gained support for Java applications.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Marosi |first1=Attila Csaba |last2=Gombás |first2=Gábor |last3=Balaton |first3=Zoltán |last4=Kacsuk |first4=Péter |title=Enabling Java applications for BOINC with DC-API |journal=Distributed and Parallel Systems: In Focus: Desktop Grid Computing |year=2008 |pages=3–12}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SZDG&amp;#039;s middleware and DC-API were subsequently adopted by other BOINC-based projects, most notably [[wikipedia:SLinCA@Home|SLinCA@Home]], a materials-science project operated by the Institute for Metal Physics of the [[wikipedia:National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine|National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine]], which ran on the SZTAKI Desktop Grid platform and DC-API alongside standard BOINC.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLinCA@Home |title=SLinCA@Home |publisher=Wikipedia |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; SZTAKI&amp;#039;s desktop grid technology was also central to the [[wikipedia:European Union|European Union]]-funded EDGeS and EDGI projects, which built bridges between BOINC-based desktop grids and service-oriented grid infrastructures such as [[wikipedia:Enabling Grids for E-sciencE|EGEE]], allowing jobs to flow between the two kinds of systems.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Fedak |first1=Gilles |last2=He |first2=Haiwu |last3=Lodygensky |first3=Oleg |display-authors=etal |title=EDGeS: A Bridge between Desktop Grids and Service Grids |journal=2008 Third ChinaGrid Annual Conference |year=2008 |doi=10.1109/ChinaGrid.2008.44}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In its later years the project also operated a separate, smaller research and testing instance known as the &amp;quot;SZTAKI Desktop Grid Research Facility&amp;quot; (SZDGR), used by SZTAKI staff to test new BOINC applications with a small pool of volunteer hosts before wider release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.bc-team.org/viewtopic.php?t=91 |title=Sztaki Desktop Grid |publisher=BOINC Confederation forum |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Applications==&lt;br /&gt;
Over its lifetime, SZDG hosted several scientific and digital humanities applications, most developed in-house at SZTAKI rather than by outside research groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===BinSys===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;BinSys&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (also written BinSYS) searched for all generalized binary [[wikipedia:Number_system|number systems]] up to dimension 11, where the &amp;quot;base&amp;quot; of the number system is a square matrix rather than an ordinary integer and the &amp;quot;digits&amp;quot; are vectors.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://boinc.mundayweb.com/wiki/index.php?title=SZTAKI_Desktop_Grid |title=SZTAKI Desktop Grid |publisher=BOINC Wiki |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Formally, for an integer matrix &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;M&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of dimension &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, BinSys investigated when every integer vector in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbb{Z}^n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; can be expressed uniquely as a finite digit expansion&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;v = \sum_{i=0}^{k} M^{i} d_i&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where each digit &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;d_i&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is drawn from a fixed finite digit set. Such generalized radix representations had been studied mathematically as canonical number systems, and BinSys used distributed computing to search the underlying parameter space (matrix dimension up to 11) for matrices and digit sets that yield a valid, exhaustive number system.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Akiyama |first1=Shigeki |last2=Borbély |first2=Tibor |last3=Brunotte |first3=Horst |last4=Pethő |first4=Attila |last5=Thuswaldner |first5=Jörg M. |title=Generalized radix representations and dynamical systems I |journal=Acta Mathematica Hungarica |volume=108 |year=2005 |pages=207–238 |doi=10.1007/s10474-005-0221-z}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; One scalar special case of this search, canonical number systems (CNS) defined by an integer polynomial &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;p(x)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; rather than a full matrix, was investigated mathematically by Péter Burcsi and Attila Kovács, who developed an exhaustive search method for finding all expansive polynomials of a prescribed degree &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and constant term &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;c_0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, since expansivity is a necessary condition for a polynomial to define a valid number system; using this method, run on SZTAKI Desktop Grid, they extended earlier classifications of binary CNS polynomials to cover degrees 9, 10, and 11.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Burcsi |first1=Péter |last2=Kovács |first2=Attila |title=Exhaustive search methods for CNS polynomials |journal=Monatshefte für Mathematik |volume=155 |year=2008 |pages=421–430 |doi=10.1007/s00605-008-0005-y}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The application&amp;#039;s source code and project description were maintained by the [[wikipedia:Eötvös Loránd University|Eötvös Loránd University]] computer algebra group.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Marosi |first1=Attila Csaba |last2=Balaton |first2=Zoltán |last3=Kacsuk |first3=Péter |last4=Drótos |first4=D. |title=SZTAKI Desktop Grid: Adapting Clusters for Desktop Grids |journal=Remote Instrumentation and Virtual Laboratories |year=2010 |pages=133–144}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; BinSys was additionally deployed on other desktop grids beyond SZDG itself through the EDGeS bridge infrastructure, including the Extremadura Desktop Grid in Spain.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.academia.edu/758702/ISDEP_a_fusion_application_deployed_in_the_EDGeS_project |title=ISDEP, a fusion application deployed in the EDGeS project |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===UC-Explorer===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;UC-Explorer&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (&amp;quot;Universality Classes Explorer&amp;quot;) was a statistical physics application intended to help characterize the basic universality classes of non-equilibrium systems.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sztaki-discontinued&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://sztaki.hun-ren.hu/en/government/services/sztaki-desktop-grid-discontinued |title=SZTAKI Desktop Grid - Discontinued |publisher=HUN-REN SZTAKI |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It was distributed for both Linux (i686) and Windows clients, with macOS support added later, and was tested through the smaller SZDGR research facility before wider rollout to the SZDG volunteer pool.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.bc-team.org/viewtopic.php?t=91 |title=Sztaki Desktop Grid |publisher=BOINC Confederation forum |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The application&amp;#039;s code was later reused and adapted in the [[wikipedia:Enabling_Grids_for_E-sciencE|EDGeS]] project as the worker component of a fusion-physics simulation called ISDEP, illustrating how SZDG&amp;#039;s infrastructure and existing applications were repurposed for unrelated scientific domains.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.academia.edu/758702/ISDEP_a_fusion_application_deployed_in_the_EDGeS_project |title=ISDEP, a fusion application deployed in the EDGeS project |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
UC-Explorer&amp;#039;s computing power was put to direct scientific use by Géza Ódor and collaborators at the Research Institute for Technical Physics and Materials Science in Budapest, working with the Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research in Dresden. Using SZDG, they ran large-scale lattice gas simulations of nonequilibrium surface growth, mapping &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(2+1)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang growth onto a driven lattice gas model of dimers and providing numerical evidence for the predicted scaling behaviour of the growth process.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Ódor |first1=Géza |last2=Liedke |first2=Bartosz |last3=Heinig |first3=Karl-Heinz |title=Mapping of (2+1)-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang growth onto a driven lattice gas model of dimers |journal=Physical Review E |year=2009 |doi=10.1103/PhysRevE.79.021125}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A follow-up study extended the model with conserved, local exchange dynamics to simulate surface pattern formation, using SZDG&amp;#039;s distributed CPU capacity to perform simulations at sizes and timescales that would otherwise have been impractical, and confirming that the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang scaling class remained stable under the addition of surface diffusion.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Ódor |first1=Géza |last2=Liedke |first2=Bartosz |last3=Heinig |first3=Karl-Heinz |title=Surface pattern formation and scaling described by conserved lattice gases |journal=Physical Review E |year=2010 |doi=10.1103/PhysRevE.81.051114}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Attila Marosi, one of SZDG&amp;#039;s own developers, separately described the practical experience of porting and running these nonequilibrium lattice gas simulations on SZTAKI Desktop Grid at the Third AlmereGrid Desktop Grid Experience workshop.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.academia.edu/1554723/Exploring_University_Classes_in_Nonequilibrium_Systems_on_SZTAKI_Desktop_Grid |title=Exploring University Classes in Nonequilibrium Systems on SZTAKI Desktop Grid |publisher=Third AlmereGrid Desktop Grid Experience workshop |year=2010 |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===KOPI Plagiarism Checker===&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;KOPI Plagiarism Checker&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, developed by SZTAKI&amp;#039;s Distributed Systems Department (DSD), is described by SZTAKI as the best-known plagiarism detection service for the Hungarian language.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sztaki-discontinued&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; To detect translational plagiarism, in which a foreign-language source is translated and presented as original work, KOPI needed to maintain an up-to-date, searchable index of foreign-language reference text, including a monthly-refreshed dataset derived from [[wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] dumps.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sztaki-discontinued&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Because the [[wikipedia:English Wikipedia|English Wikipedia]] alone comprised nearly four million articles and around 30 gigabytes of text (excluding images and associated data) at the time, SZTAKI split the corpus into smaller chunks, converted them to plain text, segmented the text into sentences, and stemmed the words, distributing this processing load across SZDG&amp;#039;s volunteer hosts.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sztaki-discontinued&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; KOPI is one of the clearer examples of SZDG being used for digital humanities and text-processing infrastructure rather than purely numerical science.&lt;br /&gt;

SZTAKI announced in early April 2018 that SZDG would close down officially on 31 May 2018, citing the project&amp;#039;s age and the resources required to keep it running; the announcement noted that the server would be kept available as long as feasible afterward so that in-progress work units could finish, and that the project&amp;#039;s home page would subsequently be replaced with a static page describing the project and its results.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.bc-team.org/viewtopic.php?t=91 |title=Sztaki Desktop Grid |publisher=BOINC Confederation forum |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The project&amp;#039;s own retrospective static page states that the project ultimately closed on 21 June 2018.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://szdg.lpds.sztaki.hu/ |title=SZTAKI Desktop Grid |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; SZDG&amp;#039;s official website, hosted at szdg.lpds.sztaki.hu, remained reachable as a static archive afterward, while SZTAKI&amp;#039;s institutional pages continued to describe SZDG&amp;#039;s history and applications.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sztaki-discontinued&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Legacy==&lt;br /&gt;
Although SZDG itself closed in 2018, the hierarchical desktop grid concept, the DC-API programming interface, and the EDGeS/EDGI bridge technologies it pioneered continued to influence later desktop grid and volunteer computing research, particularly work on interoperability between volunteer computing and traditional service grids.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Kacsuk |first1=Péter |last2=Farkas |first2=Zoltán |last3=Kovács |first3=József |last4=Lovas |first4=Róbert |last5=Marosi |first5=Attila Csaba |display-authors=etal |title=Desktop Grid in the Era of Cloud Computing |year=2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; SZTAKI&amp;#039;s role in developing this middleware is also reflected in the [[BOINC]] project&amp;#039;s own developer wiki, which cites SZDG as the originator of hierarchical desktop grid organization within the BOINC ecosystem.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/DesktopGrid |title=DesktopGrid |publisher=BOINC/boinc GitHub Wiki |access-date=2026-06-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Scientific publications==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[wikipedia:BOINC|BOINC]] project maintains an official, continuously updated list of scientific publications arising from BOINC-based computing at [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/pubs.php boinc.berkeley.edu/pubs.php]. That list applies a strict inclusion criterion: only publications whose underlying results were actually computed using the project&amp;#039;s BOINC-distributed resources are listed. The five publications below are the ones credited to SZTAKI Desktop Grid there. A further set of publications about SZDG&amp;#039;s own software architecture, middleware, and related bridge technologies, which describe the platform itself rather than reporting scientific results computed on it, is listed separately afterward.&lt;br /&gt;
