<h2>The BOINC application library</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
BOINC supplies a library that can be optionally used for
|
||
|
|
application development.
|
||
|
|
This library includes the following:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> <b>Communication with the core client</b>.
|
||
|
|
Functions for parsing an initialization file
|
||
|
|
containing the checkpoint period.
|
||
|
|
Functions for checking for trigger files saying
|
||
|
|
when to exit, when to suspend computation,
|
||
|
|
and when to generate graphics.
|
||
|
|
Functions for writing files to report percentage done,
|
||
|
|
and to report errors.
|
||
|
|
<li> <b>Checkpoint/restart support</b>.
|
||
|
|
Simple support for writing output into memory buffers,
|
||
|
|
then appending them to output files and
|
||
|
|
writing the checkpoint file (almost atomic).
|
||
|
|
</ul>
