Volunteer Computing is a promising type of distributed computing where individuals donate computational resources of their devices for the needs of research projects. Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is the most famous platform for volunteer computing, which hosts dozens of projects in such areas as medicine, astrophysics, climatology, and others. To be able to test hypotheses and make changes to the platform, developers need a platform simulator. This work presents BoSS (BOINC System Simulator), scalable, and fast BOINC simulator. It is based on the DSLab framework, which makes it possible to accurately simulate all of the BOINC components and communication between them.
