you'll get a program that you can run as

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.

just so it could have a different name.

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.

Some of them allow only 1 CUDA context at a time.
You need to create a CUDA context to get available VRAM.
So the client would run a CUDA job, then immediately kill it.
Solution:
- If a GPU app is running,
let it keep running regardless of available VRAM
(if it's still running, it has enough VRAM).
- But don't start new apps if there's not enough available VRAM,
or it the amount is unknown
(if the client can't create a CUDA context,
the app won't be able to either)
- client: if <coproc_debug> is set, print available GPU RAM periodically

and team names are represented.
In particular, edit_user_info_action.php was using
htmlentities() on names; this led to double-encoding.
The new rules:
1) no HTML tags allowed in either one.
This is enforced silently, using strip_tags()
2) names are stored in the DB exactly as entered.
They may contain chars like & and >.
They may contain non-ASCII characters
(use UTF-8 if you want them displayed correctly).
None of these are not escaped.
3) When the names are put in XML
(e.g. in scheduler reply or db_dump output)
they are XML-escaped.
This escapes <, &, and non-ASCII chars
4) The client leaves them in this form,
and writes them that way in GUI RPCs
and init_data.xml files.
5) The parsing of GUI RPC replies and init_data.xml files
XML-unescapes them.
