see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CreditNew
Projects will need to update DB and recompile all back-end programs.
Summary:
- new way of computing credit
- "reliable host" mechanism is per app version
- "host punishment" mechanism is per app version
- adjustment of wu.rsc_fpops_est provides the
equivalent of per app version DCF
- max jobs in progress is now per app
- max jobs per RPC is now per app
TODO:
- reliable mechanism:
- populate and use host_app_version.error_rate
- populate host_app_version.turnaround
- host punishment:
- populate host_app_version.max_jobs_per_day
- populate host_app_version.n_jobs_today
- use app.max_jobs_per_day_init
- job limits:
- use app.max_jobs_in_progress, max_gpu_jobs_in_progress
- use app.max_jobs_per_rpc
- adjust wu.rsc_fpops_est
- remove old credit stuff
fpops_cumulative, credit_multiplier
credit computation in scheduler
- AVERAGE class: use the Knuth algorithm (Wikipedia)

Triggering the work generator is now done via the DB
instead of flat files.
Since only E@h uses locality scheduling,
I kept the DB changes in a separate file (db/schema_locality.sql).
There's a new field in the workunit table,
and that's a required update (in db_update.php)
- manager: compile fix
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=20807
feature without requiring use of score-based scheduling.
So add a new customizable function, wu_is_infeasible_custom(),
where projects can put job-specific checks.
Also, move customizable functions (of which there are now 4)
to a new file, sched_customize.cpp.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=18767
Daemons that are managed by 'start' go to $(libexecdir)/sched.
The (F)CGI stuff goes to $(libexecdir)/cgi-bin.
Finally, example applications go under $(libexecdir)/examples.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=18378
which of those files to include
- Modified MAC address check to work on some non-Linux unixes.
(mac_address.cpp)
- Added suggested change to "already attached to project" checking.
(ProjectInfoPage.cpp)
- changed includes of standard c header files to their c++ equivalents
(i.e. replaced <stdio.h> with <cstdio>) for namespace protection.
- replaced "using namespace std;" with more explicit "using std::function" in
several files.
- Fixed bug in checking whether the os is OS/2 and added conditional OS_OS2
to the build environment. (boinc_platform.m4,configure.ac)
- Changed build environment to not use -nostandardlibs unless we are using
G++ and static linkage is specified. (configure.ac)
- Added makefiles and package building files for solaris CSW package manager.
- Fixed bug with attempting to find login name using logname. (configure.ac)
- Added ifdef HAVE_* protection around some include files commonly found in
sys.
- Added support for unified binary for x86_64/i686-pc-solaris.
(cs_platforms.cpp)
- generate_host_cpid() now uses MAC address on non-linux unix.
(hostinfo_network.cpp)
- Macro BOINC_SET_COMPILE_FLAGS now doesn't check gcc only flags on non-gcc
compilers. (boinc_set_compile_flags.m4)
- Library compiles no longer depend upon the library extension or require
the library to be prefixed with lib.
- More fixes for fcgi builds.
- Added declaration of "struct ether_addr" and ether_ntoa(). Have not yet
implemented ether_ntoa() for machines that don't have it, or where it is
buggy. (unix_util.h)
- Added FCGI::perror() which calls FCGI_perror(). (boinc_fcgi.{h,cpp})
- Fixed library Makefiles so that all required headers get installed.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=17388
- Update to libtool 1.5.24
- build environment: Major automake changes that I've been warning about
for some time.
- Now uses libtool to build libraries.
- Builds separate boinc_fcgi and sched_fcgi libraries for use with
FCGI server components.
- New macro "BOINC_CHECK_LIB_WITH" that executes a "AC_CHECK_LIB" on
a library only if --with-libname[=DIR] is specified on the configure
command line. This is to allow inclusion of libraries when the
ssl, gtk, wxWidgets, or other configuration is incorrect for static
libraries.
- Added a lot of "--with-*" for some libraries that might be required for
static builds.
- The sea directory has been moved to packages/generic. Changes to sea
and the associated scripts might be required to better make use of the
staging mechanism and shared libraries.
- Fixed includes of boinc_fcgi.h in many files.
- Fixed places where FCGI_FILE needs to be used implicitly.
- Fixed missing define of _SC_PAGESIZE on hosts that define only
_SC_PAGE_SIZE.
- Moved build of boinc_cmd (and source file) from lib to client
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=16904
a modified boinc version.
- Added new header "boinc_fcgi.h" to be used instead of "fcgi_stdio.h".
This header defines I/O functions in the namespace FCGI rather than using
redefined functions the way "fcgi_stdio.h" does. This was causing a lot
of headaches when both <cstdio> and "fcgi_stdio.h" was called. Using
overloaded functions fixes this problem, except when the only difference
between functions is the return type (for example ::fopen() returns FILE*
and FCGI::fopen() returns FCGI_FILE*).
- Fixed some missing "#ifdef _WIN32" blocks in filesys.C
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=15984
added client/scripts to default client build
removed sea from the default clientgui build
added locale/client to the default clientgui build
moved installed headers from $(includedir) to $(pkgincludedir) which
is $(includedir)/boinc by default.
removed redefinitions of $(includedir) from Makefiles.
- configure:
added locale/client/Makefile to AC_CONFIG_FILES
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=15300
- DB code: remove "is_high_priority" stuff.
- scheduler: merge find_app_version() into get_app_version().
Have the latter memoize its results (both positive and negative).
Have it call app_plan() for apps with nonempty plan_class.
- scheduler: first steps towards improved selectability of log messages.
It will eventually be like the client,
where you can select among various types of messages.
- feeder: if can't unlink the reread_db trigger file, exit
(else we'd go into an infinite loop)
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=14940
> boinc_submit --infile foo --outfile blah program --args
This will run "program" on a remote host,
with the given input, output files, and command-line args
It manages everything for you.
You don't have to worry about apps, app_versions,
template files, wrapper job files, etc.

Initial checkin - not debugged yet.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=14842
Lets you assign a WU to a particular host,
to one or all hosts belonging to a user or team, or to all hosts.
See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AssignedWork
Disabled unless you include <enable_assignment> in config.xml
Uses a new DB table.
Tested but only a little.
- Server: code cleanup; moved result-handling to a new file,
and removed the PLATFORM_LIST arg to everything
(put it in SCHEDULER_REQUEST instead)
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=14767
This is for debugging apps (currently works only in Unix).
What it does: when running an app,
the client does everything except actually fork/exec the app,
i.e. it sets up the slot dir, creates shared mem segment etc.
It then continues as if the app were actually running,
and you can then manually run your app under a debugger
in the slot directory.
Note: the client won't notice the termination of your app.
- API, Unix: in situations where the timer thread wants to exit
(e.g. it notices a missing heartbeat).
don't directly call boinc_exit(),
since this touches data structures that the worker thread
may be using concurrently.
Instead, set a flag telling the worker thread to call boinc_exit()
(which it will do from its signal handler)
This is an attempt to fix problems reported by Bernd;
I haven't tested it.
- scheduler: add config flag for uploading usage data
- web: show account key and weak account key on user page
- added some code for multithread support (not finished)

"resend_lost_results" option was used also
(because the count of in-progress results was
based from the DB query used by resend_lost_results).
Fix: initialize the count of in-progress results to
the list provided in the scheduler request.
- scheduler: add "--mark_jobs_done" flag; if set, all jobs
sent are marked as done, and their WUs enabled for transition.
This is used for simulation purposes,
in conjunction with sched_driver.
- scheduler: if --batch option is set, don't check RPC seqnos
(for simulation purposes)
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=13101
This generates a sequence of scheduler requests,
with host info taken from a file,
that you can feed into the scheduler (cgi --batch)
to simulate things like homogeneous redundancy
- Added args to XML_PARSER::skip_unexpected() to you can say
whether to write messages to stderr for unparsed stuff.
This is set to true if log_flags.unparsed_xml is set (client)
or if debug_level is 3 (server)
- removed references to $(LIBRSA) in Makefile.am's

there is for each HR class, and writes it to a file.
This will be used soon for HR support in the feeder.
- split the HR code into hr.C,h (stuff used by both census and scheduler)
and sched_hr.C (stuff used only by the scheduler)
- database: change DB_CREDITED_JOB to treat workunitid
as a double (which it is) rather than a long.
BTW, long == int.
- fixed lots of compile warnings in the server code

If set, the scheduler will use EDF simulation,
together with the in-progress workload reported by the client,
to avoid sending results that
1) will miss their deadline, or
2) will cause an in-progress result to miss its deadline, or
3) will make an in-progress result miss its deadline
by more than is already predicted.
If this option is not set, or if the client request doesn't
include a workload description (i.e. the client is old)
use the existing approach, which assumes there's no workload.
NOTE: this is experimental. Production projects should not use it.
- EDF sim: write debug stuff to stderr instead of stdout
- Account manager:
- if an account is detach_when_done, set dont_request_more_work
- check done_request_more_work even for first-time projects
- update_uotd: generate a file for use by Google gadget
- user_links(): use full URLs (so can use in Google gadget)

- Exteded the "altername_platform" mechanism to x86_64 linux
and solaris. The current alternate platforms found by configure
are...
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu -> i686-pc-linux-gnu
sparc64-sun-solaris -> sparc-sun-solaris
sparc-sun-solaris -> sparc-sun-solaris2.7
powerpc64-apple-darwin -> powerpc-apple-darwin
- The alternate platform can be overridden on the configure command line
