<h2>Operational tools: applications and versions</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
BOINC provides a few tools for creating and operating projects:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> Utility programs (such as <b>add</b> and <b>create_work</b>).
|
||
|
|
These can be run manually or invoked from scripts.
|
||
|
|
<li> C++ functions (such as <b>create_work()</b>).
|
||
|
|
<li> Web interfaces (currently these provide only read access).
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
Projects can create their own tools, either at a low
|
||
|
|
level (e.g. directly accessing the BOINC DB from PHP or Perl scripts)
|
||
|
|
or by using the BOINC DB C++ API (db/db.h).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|

<dd>
|
||
|
|

|
||
|

Copy the executable file from the compilation directory
|
||
|

|
Compute its MD5 checksum, fill in the DB record.
|
