This paper addresses a job scheduling problem in Volunteer Computing (VC) systems, where some malicious participant may return incorrect results (sabotaging). Credibility-based job scheduling method, namely ENR-ECJ, is a promising approach to realize high-performance and sabotage-tolerant VC systems based on the credibility of each participant (worker). However, managing the credibility values in the management node may cause considerable performance degradation of whole the system. By implementing ENR-ECJ into a small scale VC system, this paper demonstrates the primacy of ENR-ECJ over existing methods and reveals its condition through the performance evaluation for various number of workers. The results show that ENR-EJC improves the overall performance about 10% when the access frequency of workers is less than 2 per second.
