(but not all) wasn't finished.
New logic: if the project has an NCI app then:
- make a list of NCI apps for which the client doesn't have
a job in progress.
- try to send one job for each of these apps
- do this even if no work is being requested.
- don't send jobs for NCI apps by other mechanisms
NOTE: the client logic isn't quite right for mixed NCI projects.
If there's no job for a given NCI app,
the client should do a scheduler RPC.
This isn't critical so we won't do this now.

Some credit cheats (e.g. with credit_by_runtime) can be done
by reporting a huge value.
Fix this by capping the value at 1.1 times the 95th percentile
of host.p_fpops, taken over active hosts.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=25017
- whether host is "reliable" for an app version
- whether host is eligible for single replication for an app version
- whether to use host scaling
In each case, the answer is yes if the number of
consecutive valid results is above a threshold.
This replaces existing "error rate" and "scale probation" mechanisms.
TODO: the # of consecutive valid results should also determine
a limit on jobs in progress for an app version.
Namely, if N is the threshold for host scaling, the limit should be
ndevices*(max(1, consecutive_valid - N))
The client currently doesn't supply enough
app version info to do this.
It could be approximated; that would give some protection
against cherry-picking.
- credit: more conservative formulas for combining claimed credit
among replicas.
If there are normal replicas, we use a "low average"
that weights each sample by the sum of the other samples.
Otherwise we use the min (not the average) of the approximate samples.
NOTE: a DB update is required

Old:
1) check deadline based on wu.delay_bound
2) in add_result_to_reply(), potentially modify wu.delay_bound,
e.g. because of retry acceleration
problem: reducing delay bound may cause deadline miss
New:
1) new function get_delay_bound_range()
(called from wu_is_infeasible_fast())
returns optimistic and pessimistic delay bounds.
Retry acceleration logic is here.
2) check deadline based on optimistic bound;
if that fails, check based on pessimistic bound.
Set wu.delay_bound to the one that worked.
Notes:
- get_delay_bound_range() needs result priority and report deadline,
and it's called before we read the full result.
So add these items to WORK_ITEM and WU_RESULT.
- get_delay_bound_range() could be customized for
project-specific deadline policy.
- add_result_to_reply() was becoming a toxic waste dump.
Deadline-related stuff should have been factored out in any case.

- 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

- scheduler: fix bug in adaptive replication:
if send an unreplicated job to untrusted host,
set both wu.target_nresults and wu.min_quorum to app.target_nresults.

(attempt to send big jobs to fast hosts, small jobs to slow hosts).
- have "census" compute mean/stdev of host speeds,
write it to a file perf_info.txt
- have feeder compute mean/stdev of sizes of jobs in shmem
- have feeder read perf_info.txt into shmem
- scheduler: add some debugging messages for app version selection
- Add LGPL license to a few files
- upgrade/setup scripts: copy census to bin/
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=15136
and apps that use coprocessors.
There now can be several app_versions for the same
(app, platform, version_num) combination.
This changes a number of things.
- Added app_version.plan_class field to DB
- update_versions now looks for a :plan-class in the
file or directory name, and puts it in the app_version's DB record
- Change uniqueness constraint to include plan_class
- Feeder: the feeder was putting non-deprecated app_versions
in shared mem, and leaving it to the scheduler to
find the latest version for a given platform.
This is dumb.
Instead, for each app/platform pair the feeder now
finds the highest version number of a non-deprecated app version,
and enumerates all non-deprecated app_versions with that
app/platform/version
- Scheduler: add a BEST_APP_VERSION data structure that keeps track,
for each app, what the best app_version is for this host.
This saves the work of recomputing it for each job.

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 cause the core client to exit immediately before or after
running a job,
letting you examine the contents of the slot directory.
- scheduler: changed max # of CPUs used in daily_result_quota
limit from 4 to 8, and make it a compile-time parameter
- feeder/scheduler: make the number of work items in shared
memory configurable (in config.xml).
The element is <shmem_work_items>
- feeder: make the size of the work item query configurable
(<feeder_query_size)
- feeder: remove code related to removing infeasible results
from shared mem.
This mechanism was never needed,
and I think a timeout would accomplish the same effect.
