This now supports two main use cases:
1) there's a job that you want to run once on all hosts,
present and future
(or all hosts belonging to a user, or to a team).
The job is never transitioned, validated, or assimilated.
2) There's a normal job for which you want to use only
hosts belonging to a specific user (e.g. cluster or cloud hosts).
This restriction can be made either when the job is created,
or on the fly,
e.g. as part of a scheme for accelerating batch completion.
For the latter purposes we now provide a function
restrict_wu_to_user(DB_WORKUNIT&, int userid);
The job goes through the standard
transitioner/validator/assimilator path.
These cases are enabled by config flags
<enable_assignment_multi/>
<enable_assignment/>
respectively.
Assignment of type 2) are no longer stored in shared mem,
so there is no limit on their number.
There is no longer a rule that assigned job names must contain "asgn".
NOTE: this requires a database update.

in the presence of GPU exclusions.
The problem was in the job-selection phase,
which picks enough jobs to use all devices.
It was ignoring GPU exclusions, so for example on
a 2 GPU system it could pick 2 jobs from a project
for which 1 GPU is excluded,
and as a result 1 GPU would be idle.
Solution: during job selection,
keep track of GPU usage on a per-instance basis.
Select a job only if it can run on a non-excluded GPU.
- client: in computing ncprocs_excluded (which is used in
work fetch policy) don't count exclusions of non-existent devices
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=24316
where work fetch didn't work right in the presence of
multiple GPUs and <exclude_gpu> config options.
For example: suppose:
- you have 2 GPUs and 2 projects
- Project A is excluded from GPU 1
- you have lots of jobs for project A
Then the client won't try to fetch jobs from project B.
The problem had 2 parts:
a) round-robin simulation wasn't taking GPU exclusions into account.
In the above example, it would think that both GPUs had jobs.
I fixed this by computing the # of GPUs from each project
is excluded, and using this in the RR simulation.
b) Once this was done, I needed to make the client
request GPU jobs from project B rather than project A.
I did this with following policy:
If a project has excluded GPUs of a given type,
and has a runnable job of that type,
don't ask it for more work of that type.
Notes:
- the policy in b) is crude, and it means that work-buffer
preferences are ignored in some cases.
- neither a) nor b) takes into account app-level exclusions.
I could fix both of these with a lot of work,
but I'd rather move to a model in which dissimilar GPUs
are modeled as different resources,
which would remove the need for the <exclude_gpu> mechanism
in the first place.

and other operations.
You can now designate a user as "manager" for a particular app.
They can then:
- control job-submit permissions for that app
- deprecate/undeprecate versions of the app.
- abort jobs for that app
You can also designate a user a manage for the project.
They can then edit permissions and quotas,
as well as performing the app-specific functions for all apps.

is a "runtime outlier", i.e. its runtime does

Runtime outliers are not counted in the statistics for
elapsed time, turnaround time, and peak FLOPs count.
The is intended for applications like SETI@home,
some of whose jobs finish more or less instantly
(this happens if the data contains a lot of interference).
If a host happens to get a bunch of these short jobs,
its statistics will get skewed: in essence, the server
will think that the host is extremely fast,
and will send it too many jobs.

Old:
If the AM sends us a project we're already attached to,
and the authenticator is different,
print an error message and don't change anything.
Problem:
If the AM is using weak authenticators,
and the user has changed their password,
the weak authenticator changes.
In this case the AM will send the new weak auth,
the client will ignore it,
and all subsequent scheduler RPCs will fail
until the user removes/adds the project.
Solution:
If the AM sends us a new auth for a project, use it.
Note:
From the time the password is changed on the project
to the next AM RPC,
the client will have a bad weak auth and scheduler RPCs will fail.
That's OK.

When we first send a job, we pick an app version,
then call wu_is_infeasible_fast()
to see if the host is able to run the job with that app version.
In addition to checking disk space etc.
this calls wu_is_infeasible_custom() to do project-specific checks
(e.g. for SETI@home: don't use GPUs for VLAR jobs).
However, when we resend a job, we pick an app version
(possibly different from the original one)
and send the job without any checking.
So, for example, we might send a VLAR job to a GPU,
or send a job to a host with insufficient disk space
(because free space has changed since original send).
Solution: call wu_is_infeasible_fast() before resending a job,
and if it returns true, mark the job as done and don't resend it.
