The latest client reports the peak working set size, swap size,
and disk usage for completed jobs.
Add fields to the results table to store these.
Parse them in scheduler request messages, and write to the DB.
Display them in the result web page.
This data can be used to improve (or even automate)
the job estimates for memory and disk usage.
- the exported team list wasn't parsing due to non-ASCII characters
in some team descriptions.
htmlspecialchars() wasn't doing the job.
Use DOMDocument instead.
- If SHOW_NONVALIDATE_TEAMS is set (as on the BOINC-wide teams site)
show teams whose founders email addresses are not validated
(and hence won't be exported).
On some hosts, gpu_active_frac may be much less than active_frac
(i.e., GPUs may be available much less than CPUs).
Use gpu_active_frac in the following places:
- scheduler: in estimating the elapsed time of jobs,
to decide whether they can meet deadline
- scheduler: in computing the effective speed of a (host, app version),
when deciding what size class it belongs to
- size_census: in computing effective speed of (host, app versions)
(Previously, we were just using active_frac in all these cases)
- gpu_active_frac is the fraction of time GPU use is allowed
while the client is running.
Previously the client reported it but we weren't storing it in the DB.
We may need it in the future for batch scheduling logic.
- fix a crashing bug in scheduler
- client: minor message tweak
- add delete button
- show # of badges assigned
- don't use separate head/tail function are admin pages
- add badge assign task for new projects
- turn on db_dump, update_uotd, update_forum_activities,
update_profile_pages, notify for new projects
- the default badges (defined in ops/badge_assign.php) are now
based on RAC percentile (top 1%, 5%, and 25%) rather than plain RAC.
- RAC percentile badges are now granted for teams as well as users;
show badges in team page.
- move badge utility functions to inc/util_ops.inc
- DB: add tables for badges and badge/user and badge/team associations
- add script that defines 3 RAC-based badges and assigns them
- add images for these badges
- add admin page for creating/editing badges
- show badges on user page
not done:
- figure out how to send badges to client
- display badges somewhere in the GUIs
- export badges in db_dump
- enable badges by default for new projects
Add script (compare_pot) for comparing templates module comments,
and sending reminder emails if they differ.
Add script (buid_pos) for generating all templates and comparing
them with current versions.
- Batches now have optional "expire time".
If this time passes and the batch is not retired, abort and retire it.
- Add script "expire_batches" which enforces the above.
Run it as a periodic task.
- Add a web RPC for setting the expire time of a batch
(it can be changed multiple times)
- Add a C++ interface for this RPC
- Add a BOINC_SET_LEASE command to the BOINC GAHP
("lease" is Condor term for expire time)
On projects with lots of app versions and small POST size limits
(PHP or Apache config?) limit could be exceeded,
causing incorrect DB updates.
Fix this by having one Update button per app version.
Similar for apps.
See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/MultiSize
The components of this include:
- DB changes:
add size_class to workunit and result
n_size_classes to app; >1 means multi-size
- size_regulator daemon program: change results states
from INACTIVE to UNSENT carefully
- size_census program; writes quantile info in flat files
- transitioner: when creating results for multi-size apps,
set server state to INACTIVE
- sched shmem (feeder): read quantile info from flat files,
store in shared memory
- scheduler (score-based scheduling): for multi-size apps,
add component to score function for size class.
- show_shmem: show result size class
- make_work (and other callers of count_unsent_results()):
count both INACTIVE and UNSENT
- create_work: add --size_class cmdline option
Also:
- if get MySQL errors in upgrade, don't rewrite db_version
