- 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 (superceded by no_app)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

- inet_ntop() etc. exist only on Vista+
- the other functions are declared in winsock2.h.
This breaks the Manager build, since wxwidgets includes winsock.h.
So to hell with it.
- windows build: manager doesn't depend on client

- use "sockaddr_storage" to store network addresses
(which may be IPv4 or IPv6)
rather than assuming they fit in an int.
- the entries in gui_rpc_auth.cfg may now be IPv6 addresses
(a🅱️c:e:f:g format),
or domain names of hosts that support only IPv6
Note: GUI RPCs are still constrained to use IPv4,
but this should be easy to change if it's every needed
Also: replace deprecated gethostbyname() with getaddrinfo().

change various std::string to char[n], to improve performance.
NOTE: std::string should ONLY be used in cases where there is
no a priori limit on string length.
If there's a limit (e.g. because the string originates in
a fixed-size database field) always use char[n].

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.

- 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.

CPU time is visible in task Properties.
- Manager: in task Properties, show final CPU and elapsed times
if job is finished
- client: honor backoff for account-manager-requested scheduler RPCs
- client: keep track final elapsed time for results
- GUI RPC: report final elapsed time

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.
