<h2>The BOINC database</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
BOINC uses a relational database to keep track of
|
||
|
|
participants, work and result.
|
||
|
|
The reference implementation uses MySQL,
|
||
|
|
but any SQL database can be used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The database tables are as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt> platform
|
||
|
|
<dd>
|
||
|
|
Compilation targets of the core client and/or applications.
|
||
|
|
<dt> app
|
||
|
|
<dd>
|
||
|
|
Applications.
|
||
|
|
The core client is treated as an application;
|
||
|
|
its name is "core_client".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt> app_version
|
||
|
|
<dd>
|
||
|
|
Versions of applications.
|
||
|
|
Each record includes a URL for downloading the executable,
|
||
|
|
and the MD5 checksum of the executable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt> user
|
||
|
|
<dd>
|
||
|

|
||

|
||
|
|
<dt> preferences
|
||
|
|
<dd>
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
The actual preference information is stored in
|
||
|
|
an XML document in a "blob" field of this table.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt> host
|
||
|
|
<dd>
|
||

|
<dt> workunit
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
Describes workunits.
|
||
|
|
The input file descriptions are stored in an XML document in a blob field.
|
||
|
|
Includes counts of the number of results linked to this workunit,
|
||
|
|
and the numbers that have been sent, that have succeeded, and that have failed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt> result
|
||
|
|
<dd>
|
||
|
|
Describes results.
|
||
|
|
Includes a "state" (whether the result has been dispatched).
|
||
|
|
Stores a number of items relevant only after the
|
||
|
|
result has been returned:
|
||
|
|
CPU time, exit status, and validation status.
