We were using a static BEST_APP_VERSION in
check_homogeneous_app_version(),
and it wasn't being initialized on each call
(e.g. its HOST_USAGE was not being cleared).

but checks for the "stop_daemons" trigger file every 1 sec.
Use this instead of sleep() in daemons.
This will speed up bin/stop.

- Fix build problems on Mac OS X using autotools
- Consistently use #if HAVE_X for platform checks,
rather than #ifdef HAVE_X or #if defined(HAVE_X)
- In Unix build, make lots of compiler checks standard
- Fix some compile warnings
From Matt Arsenault.
Note: there are now lots of compile warnings in clientgui/ on Unix,
mostly in WxWidgets code

delete those files too.
- scheduler: add log messages (conditioned by debug_credit)
if result.fpops_cumulative or result.fpops_per_cpu_sec is present
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=22083
- daily quota mechanism
- reliable mechanism (accelerated retries)
- "trusted" mechanism (adaptive replication)
- scheduler: enforce host scale probation only for apps with
host_scale_check set.
- validator: do scale probation on invalid results
(need this in addition to error and timeout cases)
- feeder: update app version scales every 10 min, not 10 sec
- back-end apps: support --foo as well as -foo for options
Notes:
- If you have, say, cuda, cuda23 and cuda_fermi plan classes,
a host will have separate quotas for each one.
That means it could error out on 100 jobs for cuda_fermi,
and when its quota goes to zero,
error out on 100 jobs for cuda23, etc.
This is intentional; there may be cases where one version
works but not the others.
- host.error_rate and host.max_results_day are deprecated
TODO:
- the values in the app table for limits on jobs in progress etc.
should override rather than config.xml.
Implementation notes:
scheduler:
process_request():
read all host_app_versions for host at start;
Compute "reliable" and "trusted" for each one.
write modified records at end
get_app_version():
add "reliable_only" arg; if set, use only reliable versions
skip over-quota versions
Multi-pass scheduling: if have at least one reliable version,
do a pass for jobs that need reliable,
and use only reliable versions.
Then clear best_app_versions cache.
Score-based scheduling: for need-reliable jobs,
it will pick the fastest version,
then give a score bonus if that version happens to be reliable.
When get back a successful result from client:
increase daily quota
When get back an error result from client:
impose scale probation
decrease daily quota if not aborted
Validator:
when handling a WU, create a vector of HOST_APP_VERSION
parallel to vector of RESULT.
Pass it to assign_credit_set().
Make copies of originals so we can update only modified ones
update HOST_APP_VERSION error rates
Transitioner:
decrease quota on timeout

deletion' pass to 50000 (can be changed with -delete_antiques_limit).
Previously large number of antiques led to not deleting any at all.
- Allow to change the interval between passes with -delete_antiques_interval.

is running a graphics application.
Change the semantics of the "don't use GPU while computer in use" pref
to "don't use a GPU that's running a graphics app while
computer is in use".
This will increase GPU utilization on multi-GPU systems.

and treat it as a recoverable error (i.e., retry).
The file deleter may run on a host that NSF-mounts
the upload/download dirs, and NSF mounts can file.
- scheduler: include WU#ID in log msgs for handled results
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=18351
- client (Unix): if client crashes while benchmark processes are going,
make sure they detect this and exit.
- back-end programs: remove hardwired assumptions about
what directory they run in, and hence where config.xml is.
E.g., daemons look for it in "..", others expect it in current dir.
New approach: all the programs look for the project dir as follows:
1) the environment var BOINC_PROJECT_DIR, if defined
2) the current dir, if config.xml is there.
3) else ".."
This means you can run programs in either proj/bin/ or proj/,
or (using BOINC_PROJECT_DIR) you can keep executables
outside of the project dir.

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.

If you store input and output files on different servers,
you can run 2 file_deleters, each one on the same machine
as the files it's going to be deleting.

because we don't have any (matchmaker only).
- back end programs: for programs that do enumerations,
check for error returns and exit
(otherwise we'll get stuck forever if DB fails)
NOTE: In the course of researching this I came across a bug
in the transitioner: if there's a WU with more than 1000 results,
the enumeration will always return ERR_DB_NOT_FOUND,
and the transitioner won't ever do anything again.
Fixing this is a little tricky, so I'm not going to do it right now.
