Each BOINC client
|
||
|
|
maintains an estimate of the amount of work remaining
|
||
|
|
(i.e. the time until one of its processors will be idle).
|
||
|
|
Each host also has two preferences:
|
||
|
|
the <b>minimum work</b> and the
|
||
|
|
<b>maximum work</b>
|
||
|
|
(these are part of your 'general preferences', discussed elsewhere).
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Normally the work remaining is between these two limits.
|
||
|
|
When the work remaining reaches minimum level,
|
||
|
|
the client contacts one or more scheduling servers,
|
||
|
|
and attempts to get enough work to exceed the maximum level.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
This scheme allows hosts that are sporadically connected
|
||
|
|
(because they're portable or have modem-based connections)
|
||
|
|
to avoid becoming idle due to lack of work.
