Make them both peak FLOPS,
according to the formula supplied by the manufacturer.
The impact on the client is minor:
- the startup message describing the GPU
- the weight of the resource type in computing long-term debt
On the server, I changed the example app_plan() function
to assume that app FLOPS is 20% of peak FLOPS
(that's about what it is for SETI@home)

for certain periods (e.g. when Remote Desktop is used on Win).
- add is_usable() member function to COPROC.
Currently this just calls the respective (CUDA or CAL)
initialization function.
We need to check whether this works and/or causes problems.
- in enforce_schedule(), check whether usability has changed
for each GPU type.
If we've gone from usable to unusable,
flag all jobs for that GPU as coproc_missing
(so they won't get run, and will quit if they're running).
If we've gone from unusable to usable, clear the flag.
This should deal with all cases except where
the client is started up with GPUs unusable.
- scheduler: more query optimizations for locality scheduling

svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=19301
set a "coproc_missing" flag rather than aborting the job.
If use removes a GPU board while there's a large queue of GPU jobs,
they'll stay queued (until their deadline passes).
Note: this doesn't fix the situation where user connects via
Remote Desktop while GPU jobs are running or queued.
We should check for Remote Desktop every minute or so, and stop GPU jobs.

don't delete it and its files.
(If the coprocessor returns, we won't need to re-download)
2) if a RESULT uses an app version that is missing a coprocessor,
abort it (rather than deleting it).
The client will report the result on the next scheduler RPC,
and the server will make a new instance.

to accept CPU, NVIDIA and ATI jobs.
These prefs are shown only where relevant:
e.g., only for processor types for which the project has app versions,
and if it has versions for only one type, no pref is shown.
These prefs affect both client and scheduler.
The client won't ask for work for a device blocked by prefs,
and the scheduler won't send it.
This replaces earlier optional project-specific prefs for
"no CPU jobs" and "no GPU jobs".
(However, these prefs continue to be honored on the server side).

- different data structure for keeping track of coproc usage;
instead of COPROC having per-instance pointers to ACTIVE_TASK,
ACTIVE_TASK now has an array of device number indices
for each instance that it's using.
- in enforce_schedule(), we call a new function assign_coprocs()
that decides what coproc instances each job will use,
and prunes jobs for which we can't get an assignment.
This function embodies lots of subtlety.

it just has to generate the --device X cmdline

2 or 3 instances at once on a GPU.
Changes include:
- In APP_VERSION, don't use a COPROCS to represent the GPU
requirements; just use doubles ncudas and natis.
- sufficient_coprocs() etc. are no longer members of COPROCS
- in HOST_USAGE, ncudas and natis are doubles
- in scheduler request, req_instances is now a double
This checkin doesn't include the job scheduling logic,

- client (Unix): if client crashes while benchmark processes are going,
make sure they detect this and exit.
- back-end programs: remove hardwired assumptions about
what directory they run in, and hence where config.xml is.
E.g., daemons look for it in "..", others expect it in current dir.
New approach: all the programs look for the project dir as follows:
1) the environment var BOINC_PROJECT_DIR, if defined
2) the current dir, if config.xml is there.
3) else ".."
This means you can run programs in either proj/bin/ or proj/,
or (using BOINC_PROJECT_DIR) you can keep executables
outside of the project dir.

old: find fastest GPU, and pretend that others are the same.
Problem: other GPUs might be less capable,
and not able to handle jobs sent by server.
new: find the most "capable" GPU, use others that are equivalent,
don't use those that are not.
"Capable" is defined by
- compute capability (i.e., hardware version)
- driver version
- memory size
- FLOPs
in that priority order.

- client: log messages describing GPUs: one line per GPU; fixes#879
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=17847
- first schedule jobs projected to miss deadline in EDF order
- then schedule remaining jobs in FIFO order
This is intended to reduce the number of preemptions of coproc jobs,
and hence (since they are always preempted by quit)
to reduce the wasted time due to checkpoint gaps.
- client: the CPU scheduling policy made use of the number
of deadline misses in various places.
This should include only the deadline misses of CPU jobs.
So move "deadlines_missed" from RR_SIM_STATUS and PROJECT
to RSC_PROJECT_WORK_FETCH so that we have separate counts
for CPU and coproc jobs, and use the count for CPU jobs.
- GUI RPC: removed the rr_sim_deadlines_missed field
from project descriptor.
This is no longer meaningful, and it didn't seem to be used anywhere.

2) jobs that run but because of bugs use little CPU time

(i.e. replaced <stdio.h> with <cstdio>) for namespace protection.
- replaced "using namespace std;" with more explicit "using std::function" in

- Fixed bug in checking whether the os is OS/2 and added conditional OS_OS2

- Changed build environment to not use -nostandardlibs unless we are using

- Added makefiles and package building files for solaris CSW package manager.

This fixes a bug that can cause debts to NEVER get updated.
- client: added "abort_jobs_on_exit" feature
(available by --abort_jobs_on_exit cmdline
or <abort_jobs_on_exit> in cc_config.xml).
If set, when the client is exited by user request
(this includes signals on Unix)
it marks all pending jobs as aborted,
and does a scheduler RPC to all projects with jobs.
When these are completed the client exits.
This is useful when BOINC is being used on grids
where it is wiped clean after each run.
