- If you run the client with --run_test_app,
runs "test_app" in the current directory and interacts with it
(and does nothing else).
It can suspend/resume it with arbitrary timing;
this is controlled in run_test_app() (app_start.cpp).
- example app: add --critical_section option.
This lets you test the runtime system for apps that do
most of their work in a critical section (like GPU apps).
- Add some logging messages (conditioned by DEBUG_BOINC_API)
to the runtime system.
- boinc_finish() waits for the timer thread to write final messages;
make sure it doesn't do anything else
(like suspend the worker thread) during this period
Some dual-GPU laptops (e.g., Macbook Pro) don't power down the more powerful GPU until all applications which used them exit. To save battery life, the client launches a second instance of the client as a child process to detect and get info about the GPUs.
The child process writes the info to a temp file which our main client then reads.
This option is enabled at compile time by defining USE_CHILD_PROCESS_TO_DETECT_GPUS as non-zero in gpu_detect.cpp
* Move the windows_format_error_string function to win_util.cpp, .h instead of it being scattered between util.h and str_util.cpp.
* Convert the Windows error string into UTF8 before allowing it to be used by the caller
* Remove windows_error_string from library
- Fix various #include issues.
CODING STYLE LAW (minimal inclusion principle):
If foo.cpp requires <blah.h>,
#include <blah.h> in foo.cpp, NOT foo.h

1) a network connection is available and
2) network communication is allowed and
3) CPU computation is allowed
- If an app version is marked as needs_network,
use the above fraction in estimating its rate of progress

- Fix build problems on Mac OS X using autotools
- Consistently use #if HAVE_X for platform checks,
rather than #ifdef HAVE_X or #if defined(HAVE_X)
- In Unix build, make lots of compiler checks standard
- Fix some compile warnings
From Matt Arsenault.
Note: there are now lots of compile warnings in clientgui/ on Unix,
mostly in WxWidgets code

- new GPU types can be added easily
- users can specify GPUs in cc_config.xml,
referred to by app_info.xml,
and they will be scheduled by BOINC
and passed --device N options
Note: the parsing of cc_config.xml is not done yet.
- RPC protocols (account manager and scheduler)
can now specify GPU types in separate elements
rather than embedding them in tag names
e.g. <no_rsc>NVIDIA</no_rsc> rather than <no_cuda/>
- client: in account manager replies, parse elements of the form
<no_rsc>NAME</no_rsc>
indicating the GPUs of type NAME should not be used.
This allows account managers to control GPU types
not hardwired into the client.
Note: <no_cuda/> and <no_ati/> will continue to be supported.
- scheduler RPC reply: add
<no_rsc_apps>NAME</no_rsc_apps>
(NAME = GPU name)
to indicate that the project has no jobs for the indicated GPU type.
<no_cuda_apps> etc. are still supported
- client/lib: remove set_debts() GUI RPC
- client/scheduler RPC
remove <cuda_backoff> etc. (superceded by no_app)
Exception: <ip_result> elements in sched request
still have <ncudas> and <natis>.
Fix this later.
Implementation notes:
- client/lib: change "CUDA" to "NVIDIA" in type/variable names, and in XML
Continue to recognize "CUDA" for compatibility
- host_info.coprocs no longer used within the client;
use a global var (COPROCS coprocs) instead.
COPROCS now has an array of COPROCs;
GPUs types are identified by the array index.
Index zero means CPU.
- a bunch of other resource-specific structs (like RSC_WORK_FETCH)
are now stored in arrays, with same indices as COPROCS
(i.e. index 0 is CPU)
- COPROCS still has COPROC_NVIDIA and COPROC_ATI structs to hold vendor-specific info
- APP_VERSION now has a struct GPU_USAGE to describe its GPU usage
