- 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 (superceded by no_app)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

allow <no_cpu>, <no_cuda> and <no_ati> bools
within <account> in reply message.
They suppress work fetch for that resource type from that project.
- scheduler:
check max_granted_credit after wu.rsc_fpops_bound,
so that max_granted_credit will be enforced
even if wu.rsc_fpops_bound is absurdly high

cmdline arg.
Suppresses the fetch of project list and of current client version #.
Use when running on grid nodes.
- debugging on client simulator. Not done yet.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=22414
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.

Use this as appropriate: e.g., for errors about cc_config.xml syntax,
direct user to the web page describing this syntax.

Source of proxy info (descending priority)
- GUI RPC (Manager or boinccmd)
This and only this is saved in state file.
If neither HTTP nor SOCKS server name present,
this is viewed as not present
- environment vars
- cc_config.xml
Show sources of proxy info in message log.
If one is present but overridden, show a message to that effect.
This fixes a bug where someone had a proxy info env var and
forgot about it.
They got an erroneous message saying no proxy was being used.

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.

1) if an APP_VERSION is missing a coprocessor,
don't delete it and its files.
(If the coprocessor returns, we won't need to re-download)
2) if a RESULT uses an app version that is missing a coprocessor,
abort it (rather than deleting it).
The client will report the result on the next scheduler RPC,
and the server will make a new instance.

runs GPU jobs in a seemingly random order,
or preempts GPU jobs needlessly.
The change has two parts:
1) sort the "results" vector by received_time,
so that the RR simulation processes GPU jobs FIFO.
2) in the CPU scheduler (earliest_deadline_result())
instead of choosing the earliest-deadline GPU job that
misses its deadline,
pick the earliest_deadline GPU from a project that
has a deadline miss for that GPU type
(this is what's done in the CPU case)
- client: fix bug where if you have an exclusive app,
then remove it from cc_config.xml and do "update config",
it doesn't go away.
Need to clear the list before parsing.

app versions in scheduler reply

Otherwise we'll get stuck in a loop where the client asks for CPU work,
and the scheduler sends jobs for what it thinks is a CPU app
but is actually a coproc app.
Eventually we should add coproc info to the app descriptions
send in scheduler request,
so that you can use anonymous platform for coproc apps.
But let's wait on this.
- scheduler: compile fix for gcc 4.4. Fixes#854

using a coprocessor we don't know about, ignore it
(and all results using that app_version will be flushed).
This deals with the situation where we have some GPU jobs,
but the GPU card is removed (previously this resulted in a crash).
This requires some code shuffling so that we check for coprocessors
before reading state file.

update the way that app versions are identified.
Old: WORKUNIT contains version_num
RESULT contains app_version_num (but only if running)
New: Keep old fields so new client works with old manager.
RESULT contains version_num, plan_class
Manager: if RESULT doesn't have version/plan_class
(because talking to old client)
look up app version based on WU version num.
