A 'non-CPU-intensive' project is one whose applications
|
|
use little CPU time.
|
|
Examples include:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Host measurements
|
|
<li> Network measurements
|
|
<li> Web crawling
|
|
<li> Network data access
|
|
</ul>
|
|
A non-CPU-intensive project is treated specially by the core client:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> The core client maintains one result for the project
|
|
<li> The core client executes this result whenever computation is enabled,
|
|
bypassing the normal CPU scheduling mechanism.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A project labels itself as non-CPU-intensive by including
|
|
the <non_cpu_intensive> flag in its
|
|
<a href=configuration.php>configuration file</a>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This attribute is at the project level;
|
|
there is no provision for a project to have some
|
|
applications that are CPU intensive and some that aren't.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Non-CPU-intensive applications can use chunks CPU time;
|
|
this won't break anything, and the CPU scheduler will
|
|
adjust to it by changing its estimates of 'CPU efficiency'.
|
|
However, non-CPU-intensive applications should try not
|
|
to use more CPU time than their resource share fraction indicates.
