A full-featured example BOINC application.
|
|
It's in a separate CVS module, <b>boinc_samples</b>
|
|
(check this out in the same parent directory as boinc,
|
|
and the relative paths will work).
|
|
The application is called 'upper_case'.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The application does things (like checkpointing and graphics)
|
|
that can be tricky or confusing.
|
|
You can use it as a template for your own BOINC application;
|
|
just rip out the computation part
|
|
(which is trivial) and replace it with your code.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The boinc_samples tree includes project files for
|
|
building the app on Windows (VS 2003) and Mac (xcode).
|
|
It also includes a Makefile for building on Linux.
|
|
This produces a separate .so containing the graphics part.
|
|
The Makefile links some libraries statically
|
|
(stdc++, glut etc.) so that the app will run on machines
|
|
where these are old or missing.
|
|
It also uses a technique where the main program
|
|
exports its symbols to the graphics .so,
|
|
which eliminates lots of the problems we had in Einstein@home.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The graphics show a bouncing 3D ball.
|
|
If you put files Helvetica.txf and logo.jpg in the directory
|
|
where it runs, you'll also see an image and some nice-looking text
|
|
(thanks to Tolu Aina for the latter).
