BOINC is under development.

|
|
|
The <a href=source/>source code</a> is available.
|
|
|
|
|
We are currently conducting a beta test of BOINC
|
2003-09-27 17:53:43 +00:00
|
|
|
using the <a href=http://setiathome.berkeley.edu>SETI@home</a> and

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
(thanks, but we don't need more beta testers at this point).
|
|
|
|
|
The public release will be announced on the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href=http://setiathome.berkeley.edu>SETI@home</a> web site.
|
|
|
|
|
Several other distributed computing projects are evaluating BOINC.

A SETI@home application has been added to the beta test.

The scheduling server detect results that can't be sent
|
|
|
|
|
to any hosts, and flags them.
|
|
|
|
|
HTTP 404 errors on downloads are treated as unrecoverable.
|

|
Graphics can be limited by frame rate or percent of CPU.
|
|
|
|
|
Don't send two results from the same workunit to a single user.
|
|
|
|
|
Added JPEG support to application graphics.
|
|
|
|
|
Added "confirm before accept executable" mechanism.

We've released BOINC version 2.0.

All BOINC components must be upgraded to major version 2.

We rewrote parts of the scheduling server architecture to make operations
|
|
|
|
|
more flexible and efficient. The <code>timeout_check</code>
|
|
|
|
|
daemon has been replaced by a more general <code>transitioner</code> daemon.
