Report it (along with disk usage) in scheduler request messages.
This will allow the scheduler to send file-delete commands
if the project is using more than its share.
- client: add <disk_usage_debug> log flag
- create_work: add --help, show --command_line option

- client: msg tweak
- client: minimum work buffer lower bound is 180 sec
- scheduler: in computing HOST_USAGE::project_flops for a job,
if we don't have sufficient elapsed_time statistics
for either the (host, app_version) or the app_version,
use a conservative estimate (p_fpops*(#cpus+#ngpus))
rather than the number returned by app_plan().
This avoids "time limit exceeded" errors when the latter is way off.

where the client crashes after giving up (90 day timeout) on an upload.
I'm guessing this was caused by [24391],
which changed the order in the poll loop from
garbage_collect
file_xfers->poll
pers_file_xfers->poll
handle_pers_file_xfers
to
garbage_collect
handle_pers_file_xfers
file_xfers->poll
pers_file_xfers->poll
I don't understand why this would have caused a crash,
but so be it.
I restored the original order, but with handle_pers_file_xfers
not inside the if (!network_suspended).
- client renamed handle_pers_file_xfers() to
create_and_delete_pers_file_xfers()
- client simulator: show simulator CPU time

by simulating time-slicing explicitly.
Also simulate changes in project REC
and hence in scheduling priority.
- client: add a log flag "rrsim_detail" that prints
time-slice-level info.

- 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 (superceded by no_app)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

check if we've been in the loop for 10 sec.
If so, break out of it and reschedule.

(either at startup or during execution)
reset a number of "wait until X" variables;
otherwise we might wait years to contact a project, restart a file xfer, etc.
Notes:
- there is no problem setting clocks forward; things just happen prematurely
- some variables (e.g. task deadlines) are not reset,
because it's not clear what to set them to

and an upload started in the last 5 min, don't fetch work from it.
The goal is to merge the 2 scheduler RPCs
(fetch work, report completed taskS) into a single RPC.
Note: this may result in idleness in some cases.
- scheduler: if client doesn't handle plan class (pre-5.10),
check plan-class app versions anyway,
but only use if it's a single-CPU app.
This allows single-CPU app versions with specific requirements
(like SSE) to be issued to old clients.

Old: scheduling has 2 phases:
1) computing a list of jobs to run (a vector of RESULT*);
this is done infrequently
2) enforcing the schedule; this is done more frequently
Problem:
when we enforce the schedule,
the RESULTs in the jobs-to-run list may not still be runnable,
and in fact they may not still exist (dangling pointer).
New: combine the 2 phases
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=22792
as the major criterion in choosing non-EDF GPU jobs.
GPU scheduling now respects resource share,
and as a result STD should no longer diverge.
- client simulator: various improvements, most notably
that we now generate gnuplot graphs of all debt types
NOTE: the client problem was found and fixed using the simulator!
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=22536
Old: when a job finished, we cleared the backoffs for the
resources it used. The idea was to get more jobs
immediately in the case where the client was at
a jobs-in-progress limit.
Problem: this resulted in an RPC immediately,
typically before the output files were uploaded.
So the client is still at the limit, and doesn't get jobs.
New: clear the backoffs at the point when output files
have been uploaded and the job is ready to report.
- client: change range in resource backoff from (0,x) to (.5, 1.5*x)
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=22411
Insteady of using its own XML input files,
the simulator now takes a client_state.xml file as input.
The simulator generates a synthetic workload based on the
projects, apps, app versions, WUs, and result it finds there.
This means that a user seeing aberrant behavior
can just send their client_state.xml file
and (hopefully) we can use the simulator to repro.
The simulator now can model GPUs.
As of this checkin, the simulator compiles but doesn't work.
There should be no change in the actual client.

1) individual file transfers
2) project-level file transfer backoff
3) scheduler operations
Old: scale by e.
Use random backoff in the range min..x
New: scale by 2.
Use random backoff in the rand x/2..x
- client: for file transfers, use backoff range of 10 min .. 12 hrs
rather than 1 min .. 4 hrs

If set, then:
if there are any active jobs at startup, don't fetch more work
otherwise make exactly 1 scheduler RPC requesting work,
and request only enough jobs to fill all devices.
- client: --exit_when_idle: make it available in config file
and change semantics to:
If set: exit if
1) there are no tasks, and
2) either there was an active task on startup,
or we made a scheduler RPC requesting work
Note: if there are not active tasks on startup,
and the client makes a work request which doesn't return work,
it will exit.

There are now separate flags for
"file_xfers_suspended": don't do file transfers
"network_suspended": don't do any network comm
(scheduler RPCs, RSS fetch, master fetch, etc.)
The policy:
if preferences/settings say no network
(quota exceeded, no-network mode, user active, time, excl. app)
then:
file_xfers_suspended = true
if (no recent network-related RPC) network_suspended = true
