David Jan 2 2003
- Back off on a project if we make a scheduler RPC asking for work
and don't get any
- fixed "http_proxy_name" XML parsing problem in client
- added drand() function.
NOTE: always make repeated code blocks into functions
- make_work was using uninitialized seqno, caused negative
numbers in filenames

- added some indices to DB.
NOTE: there must be an index for each field or combination of fields
that we do a "select" on!!
David Jan 6 2003
- change all server programs to do logging the same way:
- all log entries written to stderr
- write date/time at start of log entries
- don't include program or user name in log entries
- client: when get no work from project,
don't back off if we're in exit_when_idle mode
- added ob_end_flush() call in test.inc so that PHP test scripts
have unbuffered output
- added other backend phases (validate, file_delete) to test_loop.php
- PROGRAMMER NOTES:
- don't use tab chars in files
- split long comments into separate lines
- "extern" should never appear in a .C file
- Don't use member function names that conflict with global functions
(e.g. CLIENT_STATE::exit(); use cleanup_and_exit() instead)

All programs now use lock files to prevent duplicate execution.
A new program "start_servers" reads config.xml and starts servers.
- Added "user-friendly name" field to platform, so that users
see e.g. "Windows 95/98/XP" instead of "windows_intelx86"

- added "opaque" fields to result and workunit tables.
(allows projects to cross-reference to their science DB)
- added "venue" field to host (home/school/work)
This has two goals:
1) provides a basis for multiple preference sets
(one each for home/school/work)
2) provides another account breakdown for stats
- added "venue" field to user
This is the default venue, for newly created hosts
- simplified preferences:
For account setup, all preferences are now on one form
(different forms for new/return users)
For preference editing, preferences are now in two groups
- project preferences, including resource share,
venue, and per-project prefs
- global prefs (called "BOINC prefs" in user interface)
- fixed bug where user/host credits in client state file were giant numbers

- Added scheme for verified user update of email address
When user updates email address, their email address in the DB
is set to a "munged" form that includes a random string,
and an email is sent to the new address that includes a
URL that they must visit to verify the change.
- The same mechanism is used on account creation;
the email DB field is initially set to a munged form.
This prevents hackers from adding entries to the DB
with other peoples' email addresses.
- Separate logic for update email address from update other user info;
remove combinatorial logic (?) for update other user info

- Implemented network throughput limits, part of global prefs.
There are separate limits for upload and download.
Implementation: the NET_XFER_SET objects now has fields for
1) the max # bytes/sec up and down (from global prefs)
2) the limit on bytes that can be xferred this second
Can go negative. If it's negative, don't include
sockets in select().
Replenish every second.
This replaces an implementation that didn't work
- Reimplemented the way network throughput is measured.
The old way measured throughput for each file xfer, and kept an average.
This doesn't work with multiple simultaneous xfers.
The new way uses a NET_STATS::poll() function.
If there has been an active file xfer during the last poll period
(new logic in NET_XFER_SET lets you find this out)
then you add the duration of the polling period,
and the number of bytes transferred.
The reported throughput is averaged with throughput
from previous sessions of the core client.
- Increased file xfer blocksize from 4KB to 16KB
- Got rid of dynamic buffer allocation in NET_XFER
- Renamed "water days" to "work buf days" everywhere
NOTE:
clock() measure calling process CPU time, not time of day.
Use time(0) if you want time of day.

Should do this for most user-supplied data
- use row2() to generate all two-item rows.
Right-align the first part and embolden the second.
Get rid of row() and row2a()

- added PHP code for creating/editing/deleting multiple pref sets
See "prefs.inc" for a description of the XML format.
Prefs are divided into two subsets (global and project).
For each subset there is a mandatory "primary" version
and optional versions for home, school, and work.
The prefs display/editing code has been consolidated
and parameterized (subset = global or project,
venue = none, home, school, work).
This actually simplifies things a little.

- schedule server passes <host_venue> element in scheduler reply
(but only when it passes back new global prefs)
- when parsing global prefs, if find a matching
<venue> element, parse its contents and ignore all else
- when passing project-specific prefs to app,
look for matching <venue> element
- changed XML syntax of venue-specific prefs: instead of
<home>...</home>, e.g., use
<venue name="home">...</venue>
- added safe_strncpy(): always adds zero byte at end.
Use this instead of strncpy().

- Changed app->client communication to use shared memory rather
than files. The client sets up a shared memory segment when
starting the app. The app attaches to it and writes XML tags
into a 4K text buffer every second.
- The shared memory communication has been tested by hand under
Windows and UNIX (Mac OS X). We should write test scripts for
it to make sure.

- Added a notion of "transient" and "permanent" errors on file uploads.
A permanent error is returned by the file upload handler if
- the request is malformed
- filename includes ".."
- the signature is bad
- the file size is larger than allowed
PERS_FILE_XFER checks for this return from FILE_XFER
and gives up immediately.
- FILE_XFER now always parses the server response (not just for file size)
- Added some missing error checks to FILE_XFER
- Punted on the timezone-related ifdefs:
added hardwired ifdefs for linux and unix.
Need to revisit this
- in PHP test library, add a provision for multiple files per application

- Added a notion of "tentative" project.
This means that the (URL, account ID) pair hasn't been verified,
i.e. we haven't fetched the master page, found a scheduler,
and done a scheduler op that verified the account ID.
If anything fails for a tentative project, call project_add_failed().
in the cmdline version this prints an error message,
deletes all evidence of the project, and exits.
TODO: implement for GUI
- Make write_account_file() into a member function of PROJECT.
- Got rid of CLIENT_STATE::change_project().
The user must detach and attach.
- CLIENT_STATE::quit_project() now takes a PROJECT*, not an int.
Need to change the GUI code.
- got rid of separate WIN_32 implementations of
make_project_dir(), remove_project_dir(), make_slot_dir().
THIS IS THE WRONG LEVEL FOR PLATFORM-DEPENDENT CODE!
Instead, added boinc_mkdir() and boinc_rmdir()
- added implementation docs for screensaver logic
- test_uc.php: wait for a second before running client.
On fast computers the client runs before feeder has seeded shmem.

- set FILE_INFO::upload_offset to -1 before restarting file upload.

- don't set RESULT::state to NEW after parse.
This caused completed results to start over.
- PERS_FILE_XFER::start_xfer() is int, not bool
- better messages on file transfer failure and project backoff
- better message from scheduler if wrong major version

Erik May 19 2003
- added support for user-selected files to be included
as part of an app_version.
If there is an element of the form
<app_file>
<url>X</url>
<open_name>Y</open_name>
</app_file>
in a user's project preferences,
then for every APP_VERSION that is sent to the user,
elements of the form
<file_info>
<name>X'</name>
<url>X</url>
</file_info>
... and in the <app_version> element
<file_ref>
<file_name>X'</file_name>
<open_name>Y</open_name>
</file_ref>
are added to the app version's XML description,
where X' is an escaped version of X.
This can be used (for example) to allow applications to
have user-specified images in their graphics
- Handle it correctly if the "insert" part of a file transfer fails
- The "main program" of an app version is the one labeled <main_program/>
(not necessarily the first one)
- Only files labeled <executable/> are required to be signed
- added copyright notice to some files
- added sgets() for parsing a string that is made up of multiple lines
- write MD5 checksum elements only if checksum is present
- created escape_url_readable
TODO: app_versions are currently treated as immutable by client.

- disk bound is rsc_disk

- moved code that detaches core/app shared memory from
CLIENT_STATE::handle_finished_apps() to
ACTIVE_TASK::check_app_exited()
NOTE: ACTIVE_TASK IS SUPPOSED TO ENCAPSULATE TASK IMPLEMENTATION
- CLIENT_STATE::handle_finished_apps(): don't view an app as finished
if it's in PROCESS_ABORT_PENDING state
- got rid of ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll_time();
moved its functionality to ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll()
- broke up ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll() into subfunctions:
get_cpu_times(), check_app_exited(),
check_max_cpu_exceeded(), check_max_disk_exceeded()
- change function names:
get_cpu_time() -> get_cpu_time_via_os()

slash).
Canonicalize master urls to have a trailing '/' and remove double
slashes. Ensure account filenames and directories do not have the
trailing '_'. For many users their account files already have
trailing '_'s so if such files are found, rename them and their
corresponding project directories on startup. Created C++ string
versions of some functions for easier/safer/more efficient string

- fix bug in scheduler: the buffer in insert_wu_tags() wasn't large enough.
This is a powerful argument in favor of using "string" everywhere!
NOTE: in spite of fix, test_uc.py isn't working. Problem w/ proxy?
- HTTP_OP_SET::poll(): if header read_reply() returns nonzero,
set htp->io_ready to false (to avoid lots and lots of spurious recv()s)
- in test scripts: if TEST_STOP_BEFORE_RUN is set,
go into sleep loop rather than exiting
(to avoid deleting the test setup)

Old functions like boinc_db_open() etc. are members of this class.
The connection to the BOINC database is represented by
by a global object "boinc_db" of this class.

- transitioner: set file delete state to READY only if it's currently INIT

David Sept 21 2003
- Added mechanism for marking results as COULDNT_SEND:
When the scheduler finds that a result is infeasible
for a host, it increments the "infeasible_count" in the work array.
When the feeder finds that too many results in the array
have nonzero infeasible_count, it marks some of them
as COULDNT_SEND and removes them from the array
db/
boinc_db.h
sched/
feeder.C
handle_request.C
sched_shmem.h
David Sept 21 2003
- Partly debugged the above changes:
- The feeder's result enumeration should have no limit;
otherwise it may enumerate the same results over and over
- If the infeasible_count of a result a threshold (MAX_INFEASIBLE_COUNT)
the feeder marks it as couldnt_send.
This prevents a situation where results sit in the work array
forever, their infeasible_count approaching infinity
- Added show_shmem to sched/ Makefile, and fleshed it out a bit
- Show hostID correctly when get RPC from wrong major version
NOTE: still haven't exercised the case where a result is marked COULDNT_SEND

- Changed "server_ack" to "got_server_ack"
- Moved CLIENT_STATE integrity-check code to a new file (check_state.C)

- slight change to startup logic in screensaver:
- send it a BOINC_SS_START message only if it's already running
(not needed if start it ourselves, since we give it -saver arg)
- don't wait for 3 seconds after starting it
- In the cmdline passed to the core client from screensaver,
make argv[0] the real path of the executable.
Thought this might fix startup bug - no.
- Change "start_saver" to "started_by_screensaver". Truth in advertising.

- Parse project-specific prefs correctly (i.e. based on venue)
These prefs are read from account files.
Account files are read before the client state file is parsed.
This presented a problem because the host venue,
which is needed to decide which project prefs to use,
is kept in the client state file.
So I added a new function, parse_venue(), that gets the
host venue from the state file; this is done before parsing account files.
- Also added <project_name> element to account file so that we can
display that correctly in message about project prefs

- Added a new message type <reread_prefs/> to the

it calls an application function app_graphics_reread_prefs().
This function can call boinc_parse_init_data_file() (see below)
to get the new prefs
- Core client: when get new project preferences,
write new init_data.xml files for all running apps,
and send them <reread_prefs/> messages.
New functions:
ACTIVE_TASK::write_app_init_file()
ACTIVE_TASK::request_reread_prefs()

David 2 Nov 2003
- Changed the way that user-supplied files (e.g. logos and images) work.
OLD WAY: (see checkin by "Erik", May 19 2003)
the scheduling server scans the user's project prefs
and inserts <file_info> and <file_ref> elements
into the <app_version> element,
making it look like the user-supplied files are associated
with the app.
This necessitated the slightly kludgy "optional"
attribute of FILE_INFO, so that slow-downloading
user-supplied files wouldn't defer work indefinitely.
NEW WAY:
The scheduling server is not involved.
PROJECT now has list "user_files" of FILE_REFS
FILE_INFO now has an attribute "is_user"file"
- When parse project prefs from account file,
or when get new project preferences from server,
convert <app_file> elements to entries in project.user_files
- new function ACTIVE_TASK::link_user_files() makes links
from slot dir to all user files that are present
- when the download of a user file completes,
tell running apps to reread prefs
(they'll find the user file now)
- garbage collection reference-counts user files
- got rid of "optional" mechanism
With this change, user-supplied images in graphics are updated
dynamically when the user edits prefs on web,
then does "Get Preferences" in core client
- Handling of completed file transfers moved from
PERS_FILE_XFER::poll() to CLIENT_STATE::handle_pers_file_xfers().
(this job of PERS_FILE_XFER is to transfer the file,
not deal with its contents)
- changed benchmarks defaults from 1GFLOPs to 10MFLOPs;
prevents slow computers from being inundated with work

- scheduler now respects disk usage limits.
Scheduler request message now includes BOINC disk usage,
both total and for this project.
The scheduler parses user's global preferences
to get disk-related prefs,
and computes the max storage that can be used.
It will send only as many results as fit within this limit.
NOTE: this is still deficient in several ways:
- it assumes that all results will use all their storage
simultaneously. It doesn't take into account that
some results may use large storage while running,
but not before or after.
- it doesn't take into account storage that has been
committed (to this or other projects) but not yet in use.
- there's no mechanism for enforcing resource shares for storage,
or for dynamic adjustment
- print exit codes in both dec and hex

- when parse an ACTIVE_TASK in state file,
verify that the corresponding result is in the right state
(RESULT_FILES_DOWNLOADED, with got_server_ack and ready_to_report false)
- when parse a RESULT in state file,
make sure it's consistent: in particular,
if got_server_ack or ready_to_report is true,
the state must be RESULT_FILES_UPLOADED

David 6 Nov 2003
- cleaned up CPU time chaos
OLD:
An app measures and reports its CPU time when it calls
boinc_time_to_checkpoint(), which may be infrequent.
The reported CPU time is for the whole process
(including graphics thread: wrong)
If the core client doesn't get a message within 5 seconds,
it measures app CPU time externally,
with ACTIVE_TASK::get_cpu_time_via_os()
(this can cause reported CPU time to jump up and down).
Ambiguous function boinc_cpu_time(): does it return time for
calling thread only? time since WU start?
NEW:
An app measures and reports its CPU time every 1 sec,
from the timer interrupt.
The reported CPU time is only for the worker thread.
Replace boinc_cpu_time() with:
boinc_thread_cpu_time(): CPU time of calling thread
(also used by graphics_cpi.C to measure rendering time)
boinc_wu_cpu_time(): CPU time of WU so far (for graphics thread)
Notes:
- The app no longer needs to call boinc_time_to_checkpoint()
with any regularity
- the timer interrupt handler runs on a different thread,
so we record the worker thread handle.
- use double rather than time_t in calculation of estimated completion
- Code cleanup:
removed some declarations from boinc_api.h
(Don't declare internal functions in a .h file!)
removed using_opengl, write_frac_done
made things static that should be static
removed "externs" from .C files (SHOULD NEVER EXIST)

- Extend the "start" script to handle remote tasks. Summary:
- config.xml has a mandatory config.host element
(for the project's main server)
and optional task.host elements (default is main host)
- Host X has its own run state file, run_state_X.xml
- Host X has its own pid directory, pid_dir_X/
- Host X has its own log directory, log_X/
- Host X has its own lock file for "start", start.lock.X
- run_daemons() etc. run tasks only for the current host
- When run on the main host, start builds a list of other hosts
and runs itself (with same cmdline, using ssh)
on each of the other hosts.
Notes:
1) I didn't add <host>*</host> capability;
it's not clear that we need this
2) Output formatting could be improved

- Fixed bugs involving buffer overflow of BLOB fields.
These can be up to 65536 bytes in MySQL.
MAX_BLOB_SIZE was defined as 4K.
strcpy2() didn't do any buffer size checking.
A team description was over 8K long.
This caused db_dump to crash.
Solution:
- strcpy2() now defined as a macro that uses the sizeof()
its destination, and doesn't overwrite it.
- MAX_BLOB_SIZE replaced with 2 symbols:
MEDIUM_BLOB_SIZE for fields used by BOINC
defined as 4K so as to not increase shmem usage
LARGE_BLOB_SIZE for fields with user-supplied text
defined as 64K

- We have the same gcc version problem with solaris that we do with
linux whereby if the version number of libstdc++.so on the run
machine is different than that on the build machine, the loader
fails. However, on solaris you cannot just say gcc -static as there
are dynamic only versions of some needed libs, namely libdl and
libaio. I tried to use the -Xlinker gcc option which theoretically
should allow us to specify the link (collect2) line in precise
detail. But -lstdc++ kept showing up twice with one occurrence
being outside my -Xlinker -B -Xlinker static directive. So I
hand crafted a collect2 line and placed it in a file - collect2_line.
Sourcing this file produces an executable that will load and run
across gcc versions (and solaris versions for that matter). I
don't like it but it works.
IMPORTANT NOTE. After sourcing collect2_line you have to
re-"hard link" the executable boinc_client to a proper
name with the correct version.

- added boinc_fopen() function.
This should be used in lieu of fopen(), in both core client and apps,
whenever opening a file for writing.
This is because on Windows a utility program like FileFind
might have the file open at that exact moment,
and your fopen() will fail.
boinc_fopen() deals with this by sleeping for 3 seconds and trying again.
NOTE: in SETI@home there's a much fancier function
that does exponential backoff up to one hour.
Can't do that here, in part because the GUI requires
the core client to be nonblocking.

- Fixed errors in deciding whether more work was needed,
and if so how much.
This caused a situation where hosts would repeatedly
ask the server for more work
(which, because of recent anti-spam mechanism, would return no work)
The error involved the confusion of two quantities:
1) work buffer
This is an estimate of the time (measured in days)
until this host will finish all current work.
It reflects the host's "active_frac" and the # of CPUs.
2) CPU time
This is an estimate of the CPU time a WU will take on this host.
It does not reflect active_frac or # of CPUs
Example error: current_work_buf_days() didn't reflect active_frac and ncpus.
So we underestimated the work buffer, and requested work inappropriately.
NOTE: the <work_req_seconds> field in a request message
is in units of CPU time, NOT work buffer
- Fixed errors in estimating the wallclock duration of a WU
(used in feasibility test in scheduler):
Should divide, not multiply, by active_frac;
should not multiply by # cpus
- add a "deprecated" flag to app_version.
If you decide that a particulate app_version has problems,
you can deprecate it.
The scheduler advertises the latest non-deprecated version.
NOTE: this only is effective if core clients have the following:
- Changed the policy assigning an app_version to a WU
Use the version included in the scheduler reply,
and if there is none, use the latest version.
This means that if a project deprecates an app_version,
clients won't use it.
