Initial checkin of all files.
The system is fairly feature-complete and
runs a number of test cases correctly.
Currently runs only on Linux.
David A. April 11 2002
- Got things to compile on Solaris.
- Pass in platform name, version number from Makefile
(platform name comes from configure)
David A. May 15 2002
- Allow applications to have multiple files
(e.g. scripts, libraries, pre- and post-processing programs).
The app_version table now has an xml_doc field,
which contains a list of <file_info> and <file_ref> elements.
Note: the utility for adding applications (tools/add.C)
still handles only single-file applications.
- Changed IO_FILE_DESC to FILE_REF since it now represents
an association of a file to workunit, result or application

- Change the scheduling server to reduce database accesses.
There's now a shared-memory segment that contains
1) the platform, app, and app_version tables in their entirety;
2) a fixed-size set of results ready to be sent,
and their corresponding workunit.
This segment is initialized and maintained by a new program
called the "feeder" (sched/feeder.C) that should run
whenever the scheduling server is up.
Note: the scheduler still needs to be converted to fast CGI
- Added handy interfaces for dealing with shared memory and semaphores.
- Changed to utilities and scripts used for testing so that all
server-specific names (paths and URLs) come from environment
variables instead of being hardwired in the code.
You'll want to add these to your .tcshrc or whatever.
See the doc/install.html for details.

files db/dependencies and client/config.status and client/config.log
removed. These are build time files and should not belong
in the source tree. They confuse subsequent builds.
files updated: configure configure.in api/Makefile.in
apps/Makefile.in client/Makefile.in db/Makefile.in
db/mysql.h lib/Makefile.in sched/Makefile.in
tools/Makefile.in
These Makefile.in changes will allow the build to be performed
outside the source tree. This is convenient for several
reasons. The number one reason is that this allows the source
tree to remain untouched by the build and therefore clean.
This will prevent garbage build files from being checked in
during a 'cvs commit'
To run a build outside the source tree, simply make an object
directory anywhere else that you would like to work, then just
execute the configure script in the top-level boinc directory.
$ mkdir boincobj
$ cd boincobj
$ <... path to source tree ...>/boinc/configure
$ make > make.out 2>&1 &
Note the examples in apps/Makefile.in and sched/Makefile.in
of how to use the top_srcdir variable to locate include files
in the source tree outside of the current directory. Local
references to other object files and libraries produced by
the build remain as local .. references.
The change to configure.in, (and thus configure) and db/mysql.h
allow a proper identification of where the mysql .h files live.
The SSL location of /usr/local/mysql/include is a bit non-standard.
Most systems will have these in /usr/local/include/mysql

apps/Makefile.in client/Makefile.in client/config.guess
client/configure client/configure.in sched/Makefile.in
tools/Makefile.in
I have almost clean builds now on Solaris, Mac OS X,
and UnixWare. There appears to be a missing sched_shmem.h
file from the source tree.
There is still cruft in this configure system. I will continue
to work on it to clean it up.

- Mostly implemented support for editing preferences,
including project-specific preferences.
Simplified the preferences scheme.
Abandoned the idea of multiple preference sets per user;
each user now has a single set of preferences.
Got rid of the "prefs" database table;
prefs are now just an XML and mod_time field in the user table.
Haven't tested much yet.
NOTE: these new features use the XML parsing features of PHP.
This means that, on the BOINC web server,
you must configure PHP with the --with-xml option,
and you must make and install Apache.
Also, you probably need to use a recent version of PHP;
XML parsing was broken in PHP 4.0.4, but it works in 4.2.1.

updating: client/configure client/configure.in
client/net_xfer.C sched/Makefile.in sched/feeder.C
This now builds just fine on Solaris, Linux and OpenUnix8.
And only two tiny errors remain for a Mac OS X build.
That being the specification of g++ in the sched/Makefile
and statvfs() is not available on the Mac for
the client/hostinfo_unix.C compile. Need a substitute for
that function on the Mac.

- Ensure that preferences propagate from the server
where they are updated to all hosts,
Eliminated concept of "home project".
Not tested yet.
Also to do: replace the "accounts.xml" file with
a file containing preferences.
- Changed the way the client handles preferences.
It now saves saves the exact XML it gets from the server,
regardless of whether it can parse it all.
- Fixed client parsing code to reflect new names for preferences
- Changed the way the scheduling server handles prefs in
a client/server interaction.
If it gets newer prefs, it updates its own DB.
If its DB has newer prefs, it sends them to client.
- Fixed the test scripts so that they start/stop the feeder also.
This required adding a "ready" flag to the shared-mem structure
so that the scheduling server can find out if the feeder hasn't
finished initializing the structure.
Also required adding a "-synch" cmdline option to feeder.
- added utility program (sched/show_shmem.C) for looking at
scheduler shared memory
- renamed "types.*" to "client_types.*" to avoid name conflict
with system include files

- added support for multiple URLs in a FILE_INFO
(e.g. multiple servers from which the file can be downloaded)
- started work on "persistent file transfer": a layer on top of
FILE_XFER that manages restarting from failed connections,
and that implements a give-up policy
- added offset arguments to GET and PUT HTTP operations.
NOTE: this will work fine for downloading files (GET)
but we'll have to use something else for upload,
since the standard PUT handler doesn't do offsets,
and we need security functionality in any case.
- added preliminary version of application API for
communicating with core client.
- use <file_ref> tags instead of <input_file> and <output_file>
(makes things simpler)

- Replaced the "accounts.xml" file with the user preferences ("prefs.xml").
All non-host-specific project info is stored in this file;
all host-specific project info is in client_state.xml.
The PROJECT class is a union of the two.
The logic for dealing with inconsistencies between
prefs.xml and client_state.xml, and with updating in-memory
and on-disk project lists in response to an update from a server,
are a little tricky and are described in the code.
- The prefs file can be overwritten by <preferences> in a scheduling
server reply. To prevent buggy servers from zeroing out
users' project lists, the client makes sure there's at least
one project, and backs up the old prefs.xml into a timestamped file.
- The command-line client, if prefs.xml is absent,
prompts the user for a project URL and authenticator,
and creates an initial prefs.xml.
- Each project now has a "master URL", with is its home page
and also contains <scheduler> elements giving the URLs of
its scheduling servers.
- Added a class SCHEDULER_OP which encapsulates fetching and
parsing a project's master page (if necessary),
then making an RPC to one of its scheduling servers.
TODO: add retry and failure logic.
- A project can have more than one scheduling server.
TODO: use all of them.
- Project directories are stored in URL-encoded form.
This allows project master URLs to have slashes, which is a necessity.

David Anderson July 4, 2002
- Added support for upload authentication.
This prevents bad guys from filling up data servers with trash.
In this scheme, each <file_info> element sent from
server to client includes a <max_nbytes> field limiting
the size of the file, and includes a digital signature
based on the project's "upload authentication" key pair.
File uploads, instead of being done by PUT, are now done by POST
to a CGI program, "file_upload_handler".
The request header includes the signed <file_info>,
and the CGI program verifies the signature and enforces the size limit.
The affected pieces of code:
- Added a function create_keys() in PHP test scripts
to create encryption keys. Call it from all script.
- Added environment var BOINC_KEY_DIR saying where keys are kept.
- The client must maintain an exact copy of each <file_info> XML,
and of the signature, so that it can send to upload server.
- Added a new variant of HTTP operation, HTTP_OP_POST2.
The existing variants all use single files for request and reply.
The new variant (used for file upload) has a request
consisting of a memory block followed by (part of) a file;
the reply is in memory.
This avoid copying possibly huge upload files.
- FILE_XFER objects now take a FILE_INFO as initialization argument;
needed to convey authentication info.
The upload variant creates and sends the authentication header.
- Result templates now include a <max_nbytes> in each
<file_info> element, and the URLs refer to the
file_upload_handler (with no filename)
- process_result_template() works differently, since it must
generate a digital signature at the end of each <file_info>
- create_work expects the name of a private key file.
- Added crypt/md5 functions to sign/verify in memory,
encode/decode ASCII data in memory, checksum in memory
- Change "gmake" to "make" in top-level makefile.
(alias make to gmake if this is a problem)

David A. July 7, 2002
- Added code signing. All files associated with an app version
(i.e. all executable files) must now be signed
with the project's "code sign key". The components include:
- PROJECT has new field "code_sign_key", keep track of project's
public code-signing key.
Send this on each scheduler RPC.
- The scheduling server stores the public code-signing key in memory.
Send it to any client who doesn't have it.
If the client has an old key,
send them the new key signed with the old key.
NOTE: this uses a scheme in which signatures are kept
in files on the server, to avoid keeping private keys
in online machines. This should be documented.
- The utility to add new app versions (add.C) adds a signature
to the FILE_INFO element.
NOTE: eventually the signing should be done offline.
- FILE_INFO has a new boolean field "signature_required";
set for all files associated with an app version
- FILE_INFO has a new char* field "file_signature",
which is the digital signature.
Renamed upload authenticator from "signature" to "xml_signature"
to avoid confusion.
- Add function verify_downloaded_file(), called after every download;
does MD5 or signature checking as needed.
- Added some new functions for signature checking etc.
- the client is now linked with the crypt library
- Server-side errors should always include the name of the
CGI program generating the error (scheduler or file upload handler)

David A July 14 2002
- Added reasonable policies for making scheduler RPCs. Summary:
- results now have a "report deadline".
This may be useful for various purposes; for now,
we use it to trigger scheduler RPCs to report results
- The client now tries all a project's scheduler URLs in turn.
- Projects have a "min_rpc_time", the earliest time to
attempt another RPC (replaces next_request_time)
- We maintain an RPC failure count for each project.
If RPCs to all its URLs fail, we increment the count
and set its min_rpc_time according to an exponential backoff
- If a project is getting repeated RPC failures,
reread and parse its master URL file every so often,
in case the set of scheduler URLs has changed
- When the client has a completed result past its deadline,
it attempts to report it to that project.
- When the client's estimated work falls below low water,
it ranks projects according to their "resource deficit",
then attempts RPCs to project in that order
until the estimated work is above high water.
NOTE: only the simplest case has been tested.
We need to write test scripts for many other cases.
NOTE: currently a result's report deadline is now+1000.
We need to add a mechanism for setting it.
- The CLIENT_STATE is now kept in a global variable instead of
a local var of main().
This is because SCHEDULER_OP needs to get at it.

critical piece of code. This had the side benefit of making the
RSAEuro Makefile operate cleanly with make.
- Fixed compiler warnings in RSAEuro demo programs. Do we really
need to keep these demo programs around?

- Changed the "add" utility so that, when adding an app version,
you can give it the signature files (computed offline, presumably)
- Changed the "add" utility so that an app version can consist
of multiple files
- Removed the notion of alpha/beta/production versions of an app.
The same effect can be achieved by making separate projects
for alpha and beta testing.
- Apps now have a "minimum version number" on the server side -
Don't send a WU unless there's an app version of that number or greater.
Send the latest available version for the platform.
- Clarified app version semantics:
- Workunits don't have a version# on the server
- When a client gets a workunit, it associates it with
the most recent version of the application that it knows about
(possibly one it received in the same reply message).
It continues to use this version for this WU,
even if it receives a later version while the WU is in progress.
- On the client, no version #s are associated with apps
PROGRAMMERS NOTE:
- Removed checking of args in client_state.C
This gunks up the code too much. Let's do checking at higher level.
- Comments should be in the imperative mood.
"Write the state file", not "Writes the state file"
- Comments should not be vague, e.g.
// See if the application (name) associated with project p is
// around here
... what does "around here" mean?
- Leave a space between "if" and "("
- When asserting that a pointer is non-NULL, just say "assert(p)".
Saying "assert(p!=NULL)" is like saying if (flag==true)
- Linux doesn't have -lsocket and -lnsl.
Don't put them in Makefile.in.

- separate call for getting init data
- separate call for returning fraction done
- separated out fraction_done_update_period
- moved graphics API to separate file
- moved MFILE implementation to separate file
- API timer is now 0.1 sec; use counters for various uses
(checkpoint, fraction done, graphics)
- changed name of API files to boinc_api.C,h
- clarify distinction between
"current CPU time"
"CPU time at last checkpoint"
"CPU time at start of current run"
These are all kept in ACTIVE_TASK.
RESULT now only has "final CPU time".
- fixed bug in dir scanning (ahem...)
- Coding style notes:
- every fopen() MUST have a matching fclose() in same function
- every malloc() MUST have a matching free() in same function
- don't do a rewind() right after fopen()
- write function calls as
func(arg1, arg2);
NOTE: there's a space after every comma, everywhere
- write "if" statements as
if (condition) {
...
}
- no explicit argument checking. do this at higher level
- functions in foo.C should be declared (as extern) in foo.h,
AND NOWHERE ELSE.

flags and represents what phase of the computation pipeline
each result is currently at (downloading, computing, uploading,

- Added file upload/download resumption. For downloads, this
involves checking how big the local file is, then asking
the server for the remainder of it. For uploads, this
involves asking the file_upload_handler how much of a certain
file it already has, then sending the remainder of it.
Both ul and dl resumption need to be thoroughly tested.

- removed comments of the form
read_config_file(); // read config file
- in HTTP op of type POST2, it's not an error if htp->file is zero
- replaced hardwired HTTP_STATUS constants
- made separate db.inc, util.inc in html_ops
- key creation prints message before delay, not after
- file upload handler prints user name in error log lines
- scheduling server: make USER, HOST part of SCHEDULER_REPLY
so don't have to pass around as separate args
- in test/init.inc, don't use the init_db() from html_user/.
define it separately here.

- Move account into (master URL, authenticator, per-project prefs)
from the prefs.xml file into separate files, one per project
(with names of the form account_XXX.xml, XXX = master URL).
Adding new projects is now done using the core client
(via GUI or command line) or by copying an existing account file,
but NOT via web site; this was a major security weakness
since bad guys could guess your web password,
then register you for a bogus project.
This change also involved the html_user files (not finished).
- Further work on credit-granting.
On each RPC, the scheduler computes a "credit per CPU second"
for the host (linear combo of FP/int/mem speeds).
For each result received, the scheduler computes a "claimed credit",
the claimed CPU time times the credit per CPU second.
It also sets the "need validate" flag of the WU.

- Changed the PHP framework for testing to facilitate
multi-project, multi-host tests (all on one machine).
See doc/test.html for details.
- NOTE: the BOINC-related environment variables have changed.
There are no longer any project-specific variables
(e.g. database name, shmem key)
- NOTE: the server programs now expect a configuration file
in their directory.
- TODO: enhance the testing framework to allow projects with
multiple scheduling servers or data servers
- TODO: enhance the testing framework to allow specification
of failure and recovery of servers
- changed things so a NULL in the DB won't crash db_mysql.C
- parse_int() can now handle hex
- "add" now takes args for DB name/passwd
- "create_work" now takes args for DB name/passwd,
upload/download URL, download dir

- updated test scripts to use new framework

David Oct 8 2002
- progress getting "make_work" (dummy work generator) to work.
Removed the <name> element from workunit XML,
and the <name> and <wu_name> elements from result XML;
instead, the scheduler server inserts these as it sends them.
This simplifies things a little in work generation,
and removes some redundancy.
Everything seems to work now except that the file upload signature
ends up being wrong, which is expected,
and it shows that the security mechanism works.
- added test_loop.php, which simulates a system that is complete
except for the validation process.

- Change make_work so that it generates results with
valid file upload signatures.
Instead of directly creating new DB.result records,
it now calls create_result() to do the work.
- Changed create_result() to take a name suffix
- Factored key parsing into a function

names should be generated at a higher level

The "%f" format, by default, uses 6 decimal places of precision.
This is inadequate for small values, e.g. 1e-7.
So db_mysql.C should use %.12e instead of %f.

(see test_uc.php for an example)
- version numbers now come from env vars BOINC_MAJOR_VERSION
and BOINC_MINOR_VERSION. You must set these in your .cshrc
- Web server config file must have
DefaultType application/octet-stream
so that core client is saved as file, not displayed

- Change the file upload handler protocol a little:

2) add enclosing <data_server_request> element
- The file upload handler returns an error if client has wrong version

- added initial support for aborting runaway applications:
check for exceeding maximum CPU time or disk usage
- create_work now takes max_cobblestones and max_disk_usage
- split ACTIVE_TASK::suspend into separate suspend, resume functions
A bunch of coding style notes:
- changed ACTIVE_TASK::request_exit() so that it doesn't sleep.
==> The core client should never sleep <==
This would cause a period of non-response in the GUI client
- changed file_delete() so that it doesn't sleep or retry.
Should eventually add garbage-collection mechanism
- Most functions NEED to be implemented in the client.
So e.g. instead of
#if HAVE_SIGNAL_H
unix code
#endif
#ifdef _WIN32
win code
#endif
we should have
#ifdef _WIN32
win code
#else
unix code
#endif
Any compilation that doesn't match anything should cause a
compile-time error
- change file_size(), dir_size(), CLIENT_STATE::total_disk_usage() etc.
so that:
1) they report file size in double, not int
2) they return an error code, not a size overloaded with error code;
size is return in reference param
- All fopen()s should check for zero pointer and return ERR_FOPEN
- Omit "this->" wherever it appears

- added field client_state to result
- added some more functionality to repor_project_error()
It now adds the following info to stderr_out of the result:
<message>message if any passed</mesage>
<active_task_state>%d</active_task_state>
<exit_status>%d</exit_status>
<signal>%d</signal>
if download had failures
"<download_error>\
" <file_name>%s</file_name>
" <error_code>%d</error_code>\n"
" </download_error>\n"
if upload had failures
same as above
if coudln't start active task for result (in which err_num should be set)
"<couldnt_start>%d</couldnt_start>\n"
- The error mechanism right now is such that any failures
regarding file_infos (download, upload or whatever)
are recorded in the status of the file_infos and then garbage collect
called report_project_error.
However errors regarding starting and ending active tasks
are reported from app.C and cs_apps.C.

don't back off if we're in exit_when_idle mode
- added ob_end_flush() call in test.inc so that PHP test scripts
have unbuffered output
- added other backend phases (validate, file_delete) to test_loop.php

- added "venue" field to host (home/school/work)
This has two goals:
1) provides a basis for multiple preference sets
(one each for home/school/work)
2) provides another account breakdown for stats
- added "venue" field to user
This is the default venue, for newly created hosts
- simplified preferences:
For account setup, all preferences are now on one form
(different forms for new/return users)
For preference editing, preferences are now in two groups
- project preferences, including resource share,
venue, and per-project prefs
- global prefs (called "BOINC prefs" in user interface)

When user updates email address, their email address in the DB
is set to a "munged" form that includes a random string,
and an email is sent to the new address that includes a
URL that they must visit to verify the change.
- The same mechanism is used on account creation;
the email DB field is initially set to a munged form.
This prevents hackers from adding entries to the DB
with other peoples' email addresses.

remove combinatorial logic (?) for update other user info

- Implemented network throughput limits, part of global prefs.
There are separate limits for upload and download.
Implementation: the NET_XFER_SET objects now has fields for
1) the max # bytes/sec up and down (from global prefs)
2) the limit on bytes that can be xferred this second
Can go negative. If it's negative, don't include
sockets in select().
Replenish every second.
This replaces an implementation that didn't work
- Reimplemented the way network throughput is measured.
The old way measured throughput for each file xfer, and kept an average.
This doesn't work with multiple simultaneous xfers.
The new way uses a NET_STATS::poll() function.
If there has been an active file xfer during the last poll period
(new logic in NET_XFER_SET lets you find this out)
then you add the duration of the polling period,
and the number of bytes transferred.
The reported throughput is averaged with throughput
from previous sessions of the core client.
- Increased file xfer blocksize from 4KB to 16KB
- Got rid of dynamic buffer allocation in NET_XFER
- Renamed "water days" to "work buf days" everywhere
NOTE:
clock() measure calling process CPU time, not time of day.
Use time(0) if you want time of day.

See "prefs.inc" for a description of the XML format.
Prefs are divided into two subsets (global and project).
For each subset there is a mandatory "primary" version
and optional versions for home, school, and work.
The prefs display/editing code has been consolidated
and parameterized (subset = global or project,
venue = none, home, school, work).
This actually simplifies things a little.

<home>...</home>, e.g., use
<venue name="home">...</venue>

- the file size is larger than allowed
PERS_FILE_XFER checks for this return from FILE_XFER

- Added a notion of "tentative" project.
This means that the (URL, account ID) pair hasn't been verified,
i.e. we haven't fetched the master page, found a scheduler,
and done a scheduler op that verified the account ID.
If anything fails for a tentative project, call project_add_failed().
in the cmdline version this prints an error message,
deletes all evidence of the project, and exits.
TODO: implement for GUI
- Make write_account_file() into a member function of PROJECT.
- Got rid of CLIENT_STATE::change_project().
The user must detach and attach.
- CLIENT_STATE::quit_project() now takes a PROJECT*, not an int.
Need to change the GUI code.
- got rid of separate WIN_32 implementations of
make_project_dir(), remove_project_dir(), make_slot_dir().
THIS IS THE WRONG LEVEL FOR PLATFORM-DEPENDENT CODE!
Instead, added boinc_mkdir() and boinc_rmdir()
- added implementation docs for screensaver logic
- test_uc.php: wait for a second before running client.
On fast computers the client runs before feeder has seeded shmem.

- set FILE_INFO::upload_offset to -1 before restarting file upload.
This forces file size check, so that upload can resume
with nonzero offset.
NOTE: THE USE OF "SPECIAL VALUES" (LIKE -1) IS DISCOURAGED
- don't set RESULT::state to NEW after parse.
This caused completed results to start over.
- PERS_FILE_XFER::start_xfer() is int, not bool
- better messages on file transfer failure and project backoff
- better message from scheduler if wrong major version
- file upload handler logging is on by default

Erik May 19 2003
- added support for user-selected files to be included
as part of an app_version.
If there is an element of the form
<app_file>
<url>X</url>
<open_name>Y</open_name>
</app_file>
in a user's project preferences,
then for every APP_VERSION that is sent to the user,
elements of the form
<file_info>
<name>X'</name>
<url>X</url>
</file_info>
... and in the <app_version> element
<file_ref>
<file_name>X'</file_name>
<open_name>Y</open_name>
</file_ref>
are added to the app version's XML description,
where X' is an escaped version of X.
This can be used (for example) to allow applications to
have user-specified images in their graphics
- Handle it correctly if the "insert" part of a file transfer fails
- The "main program" of an app version is the one labeled <main_program/>
(not necessarily the first one)
- Only files labeled <executable/> are required to be signed
- added copyright notice to some files
- added sgets() for parsing a string that is made up of multiple lines
- write MD5 checksum elements only if checksum is present
- created escape_url_readable
TODO: app_versions are currently treated as immutable by client.
Need to change this.

- send workunit rsc_* fields in scheduler reply; store on client
- scheduler doesn't send estimated CPU time; instead,
client calculates it
- CPU time bound is estimated time * 2
- disk bound is rsc_disk
TODO: finish implementing this
- When an app finishes, see if any of the output files is larger
than its max_nbytes.
If so set its status to ERR_FILE_TOO_BIG.
This will prevent the client from trying to upload it.

- abort applications that exceed max disk usage
Do this check at most global_prefs.disk_interval seconds
- moved code that detaches core/app shared memory from
CLIENT_STATE::handle_finished_apps() to
ACTIVE_TASK::check_app_exited()
NOTE: ACTIVE_TASK IS SUPPOSED TO ENCAPSULATE TASK IMPLEMENTATION
- CLIENT_STATE::handle_finished_apps(): don't view an app as finished
if it's in PROCESS_ABORT_PENDING state
- got rid of ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll_time();
moved its functionality to ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll()
- broke up ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll() into subfunctions:
get_cpu_times(), check_app_exited(),
check_max_cpu_exceeded(), check_max_disk_exceeded()
- change function names:
get_cpu_time() -> get_cpu_time_via_os()
check_app_state() -> get_cpu_time_via_shmem()
handle_running_aps() -> handle_finished_apps()
- exit_tasks() is a member function of ACTIVE_TASK_SET, not CLIENT_STATE

because each WU/result is file-deleted only once.
Also means that unlink()s should always succeed
- file deleter: print retval of unlink() (should always be zero)

No code changes. This is the branch point for the seti beta. The tag is:

- Added mechanism for marking results as COULDNT_SEND:
When the scheduler finds that a result is infeasible
for a host, it increments the "infeasible_count" in the work array.
When the feeder finds that too many results in the array
have nonzero infeasible_count, it marks some of them
as COULDNT_SEND and removes them from the array
db/
boinc_db.h
sched/
feeder.C
handle_request.C
sched_shmem.h
David Sept 21 2003
- Partly debugged the above changes:
- The feeder's result enumeration should have no limit;
otherwise it may enumerate the same results over and over
- If the infeasible_count of a result a threshold (MAX_INFEASIBLE_COUNT)
the feeder marks it as couldnt_send.
This prevents a situation where results sit in the work array
forever, their infeasible_count approaching infinity
- Added show_shmem to sched/ Makefile, and fleshed it out a bit
- Show hostID correctly when get RPC from wrong major version
NOTE: still haven't exercised the case where a result is marked COULDNT_SEND

These prefs are read from account files.
Account files are read before the client state file is parsed.
This presented a problem because the host venue,
which is needed to decide which project prefs to use,
is kept in the client state file.
So I added a new function, parse_venue(), that gets the
host venue from the state file; this is done before parsing account files.
- Also added <project_name> element to account file so that we can

David 2 Nov 2003
- Changed the way that user-supplied files (e.g. logos and images) work.
OLD WAY: (see checkin by "Erik", May 19 2003)
the scheduling server scans the user's project prefs
and inserts <file_info> and <file_ref> elements
into the <app_version> element,
making it look like the user-supplied files are associated
with the app.
This necessitated the slightly kludgy "optional"
attribute of FILE_INFO, so that slow-downloading
user-supplied files wouldn't defer work indefinitely.
NEW WAY:
The scheduling server is not involved.
PROJECT now has list "user_files" of FILE_REFS
FILE_INFO now has an attribute "is_user"file"
- When parse project prefs from account file,
or when get new project preferences from server,
convert <app_file> elements to entries in project.user_files
- new function ACTIVE_TASK::link_user_files() makes links
from slot dir to all user files that are present
- when the download of a user file completes,
tell running apps to reread prefs
(they'll find the user file now)
- garbage collection reference-counts user files
- got rid of "optional" mechanism
With this change, user-supplied images in graphics are updated
dynamically when the user edits prefs on web,
then does "Get Preferences" in core client
- Handling of completed file transfers moved from
PERS_FILE_XFER::poll() to CLIENT_STATE::handle_pers_file_xfers().
(this job of PERS_FILE_XFER is to transfer the file,
not deal with its contents)
- changed benchmarks defaults from 1GFLOPs to 10MFLOPs;
prevents slow computers from being inundated with work

- scheduler now respects disk usage limits.
Scheduler request message now includes BOINC disk usage,
both total and for this project.
The scheduler parses user's global preferences
to get disk-related prefs,
and computes the max storage that can be used.
It will send only as many results as fit within this limit.
NOTE: this is still deficient in several ways:
- it assumes that all results will use all their storage
simultaneously. It doesn't take into account that
some results may use large storage while running,
but not before or after.
- it doesn't take into account storage that has been
committed (to this or other projects) but not yet in use.
- there's no mechanism for enforcing resource shares for storage,
or for dynamic adjustment
- print exit codes in both dec and hex

- The following changes fix core client crashes that occur when
reset a project, then quickly detach from the project
while downloads are occurring.
In once instance, this produced a state file that caused
the client to crash each time it started up.
- when parse an ACTIVE_TASK in state file,
verify that the corresponding result is in the right state
(RESULT_FILES_DOWNLOADED, with got_server_ack and ready_to_report false)
- when parse a RESULT in state file,
make sure it's consistent: in particular,
if got_server_ack or ready_to_report is true,
the state must be RESULT_FILES_UPLOADED
- CLIENT_STATE::detach_project(): delete all the project's FILE_INFOs

David 6 Nov 2003
- cleaned up CPU time chaos
OLD:
An app measures and reports its CPU time when it calls
boinc_time_to_checkpoint(), which may be infrequent.
The reported CPU time is for the whole process
(including graphics thread: wrong)
If the core client doesn't get a message within 5 seconds,
it measures app CPU time externally,
with ACTIVE_TASK::get_cpu_time_via_os()
(this can cause reported CPU time to jump up and down).
Ambiguous function boinc_cpu_time(): does it return time for
calling thread only? time since WU start?
NEW:
An app measures and reports its CPU time every 1 sec,
from the timer interrupt.
The reported CPU time is only for the worker thread.
Replace boinc_cpu_time() with:
boinc_thread_cpu_time(): CPU time of calling thread
(also used by graphics_cpi.C to measure rendering time)
boinc_wu_cpu_time(): CPU time of WU so far (for graphics thread)
Notes:
- The app no longer needs to call boinc_time_to_checkpoint()
with any regularity
- the timer interrupt handler runs on a different thread,
so we record the worker thread handle.
- use double rather than time_t in calculation of estimated completion
- Code cleanup:
removed some declarations from boinc_api.h
(Don't declare internal functions in a .h file!)
removed using_opengl, write_frac_done
made things static that should be static
removed "externs" from .C files (SHOULD NEVER EXIST)

It's because the app is getting a new aid.wu_cpu_time

- Changes to a running app's checkpoint_cpu_time
(as conveyed in shared-memory msgs)

As a result the CPU time of a result was, in general,

- ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll(): if any task's checkpoint_cpu_time has changed,
trigger a client state file write
- renamed ACTIVE_TASK_SET::get_cpu_times() -> get_status_msgs()
Also, this function now returns boolean:
whether any checkpoint_cpu_time has changed
- renamed ACTIVE_TASK::get_cpu_time_via_shmem() -> get_status_msg()

- Host X has its own run state file, run_state_X.xml
- Host X has its own pid directory, pid_dir_X/
- Host X has its own log directory, log_X/
- Host X has its own lock file for "start", start.lock.X
- run_daemons() etc. run tasks only for the current host
- When run on the main host, start builds a list of other hosts
and runs itself (with same cmdline, using ssh)
on each of the other hosts.

MEDIUM_BLOB_SIZE for fields used by BOINC
defined as 4K so as to not increase shmem usage

- We have the same gcc version problem with solaris that we do with
linux whereby if the version number of libstdc++.so on the run
machine is different than that on the build machine, the loader
fails. However, on solaris you cannot just say gcc -static as there
are dynamic only versions of some needed libs, namely libdl and
libaio. I tried to use the -Xlinker gcc option which theoretically
should allow us to specify the link (collect2) line in precise
detail. But -lstdc++ kept showing up twice with one occurrence
being outside my -Xlinker -B -Xlinker static directive. So I
hand crafted a collect2 line and placed it in a file - collect2_line.
Sourcing this file produces an executable that will load and run
across gcc versions (and solaris versions for that matter). I
don't like it but it works.
IMPORTANT NOTE. After sourcing collect2_line you have to
re-"hard link" the executable boinc_client to a proper
name with the correct version.

to fix intermittent window repainting bug.
old:
<hide all windows by setting turning off WS_VISIBLE style>
<show selected window by turning on WS_VISIBLE style>
<redraw window>
The trouble with this technique is that it does not
activate the window, so it will only work if the
window becomes active *before* the redraw takes place.
new:
<hide all visible windows via ShowWindow(SW_HIDE)>
<redraw selected window >
<show selected window via ShowWindow(SW_SHOW)>

- added boinc_fopen() function.
This should be used in lieu of fopen(), in both core client and apps,
whenever opening a file for writing.
This is because on Windows a utility program like FileFind
might have the file open at that exact moment,
and your fopen() will fail.
boinc_fopen() deals with this by sleeping for 3 seconds and trying again.
NOTE: in SETI@home there's a much fancier function
that does exponential backoff up to one hour.
Can't do that here, in part because the GUI requires
the core client to be nonblocking.

- Fixed errors in deciding whether more work was needed,
and if so how much.
This caused a situation where hosts would repeatedly
ask the server for more work
(which, because of recent anti-spam mechanism, would return no work)
The error involved the confusion of two quantities:
1) work buffer
This is an estimate of the time (measured in days)
until this host will finish all current work.
It reflects the host's "active_frac" and the # of CPUs.
2) CPU time
This is an estimate of the CPU time a WU will take on this host.
It does not reflect active_frac or # of CPUs
Example error: current_work_buf_days() didn't reflect active_frac and ncpus.
So we underestimated the work buffer, and requested work inappropriately.
NOTE: the <work_req_seconds> field in a request message
is in units of CPU time, NOT work buffer
- Fixed errors in estimating the wallclock duration of a WU
(used in feasibility test in scheduler):
Should divide, not multiply, by active_frac;
should not multiply by # cpus
- add a "deprecated" flag to app_version.
If you decide that a particulate app_version has problems,
you can deprecate it.
The scheduler advertises the latest non-deprecated version.
NOTE: this only is effective if core clients have the following:
- Changed the policy assigning an app_version to a WU
Use the version included in the scheduler reply,
and if there is none, use the latest version.
This means that if a project deprecates an app_version,
clients won't use it.

- released core client 2.18 for Windows
David Jan 17 2004
- change logic in windows_opengl.C so that an app has no window
when it doesn't need one.
In particular, it has no window when it initially runs,
so it won't wake up screensaver when an app starts.
This requires using a window-less timer
to poll for messages from core client.

David Jan 20 2004
- added basic support for GUI RPCs in the core client.
This allows GUIs to be implemented in a separate process.
There can be multiple GUIs looking at the same core client.
New classes:
GUI_RPC_CONN: represents a connection to a GUI program
GUI_RPC_CONN_SET: represents the set of all such connections
has the usual poll() function.
This is currently implemented only for UNIX, using UNIX domain sockets.
Should be straightforward to do in Win using named pipes.
- The isspace() macro crashes if called with a non-ASCII arg,
so use it only after isascii()
- reimplement strip_whitespace() to do the above,
have it trim at both start and end,
and make a version for string
NOTE: the real problem is that user-supplied text is being
kept in XML elements in the state file.
Should escape it.

The GUI_RPC class now parses the XML it gets back from

- struct CLIENT_APP_VERSION represents an app version

- SCHEDULER_REQUEST has a vector of CLIENT_APP_VERSIONs,
parsed from request message
- in scan_work_array(): if anonymous platform,
instead of checking for an app version in the DB,
check that the client has an app version with an
acceptable version#
NOTE: for this to work you need to add an entry named "anonymous"
to the platform table

This file contains <app>, <file_info>, and <app_version> elements
for app versions present in the project dir
(compiled or manually installed by the user).
- If this file is found, the project is marked as "anonymous_platform"
and app/app_version info in the state file is ignored.

- define a destructor for ACTIVE_TASK.
Do all resource deallocation (close thread/proc/msg handles;
detach and/or destroy shmem) here.
This deallocation was being done piecemeal;
for example, it wasn't being done if the process was aborted.
Hence the "quit message" object was still there,
and when another process started in the same slot it would
immediately get the message (caused "reset project" problem)
- Eventually delete all ACTIVE_TASK objects.
The following removed them from the list but didn't deleting:
ACTIVE_TASK_SET::abort_project()
ACTIVE_TASK_SET::restart_tasks() (failure case)
- Don't ask for work if we have any unfinished work.
This is a temporary kludge to prevent repeated work requests;
it means that min work buffer is meaningless.
But maybe this is OK.

- Improved unhandled exception filter to handle STACK_OVERFLOW exceptions, using
new stackwalker code base, STACK_OVERFLOWs would have caused a nested
exception issue that would have masked the real error.
- Improved unhandled exception filter to handle ACCESS_VIOLATIONs better, using
stackwalker code base, giving some of the same information for release builds
that is given in debug builds
- Created a new macro called BOINCERROR which will trip the management thread into
gracefully exiting the process with the correct exit code. This macro will work
across debug/release builds. Some more work has to go into the base function,

- when get an APP_VERSION in a scheduler reply that's already in client state,
DON'T update the client state (it can't be any different anyway)
This fixes a garbage-collection crash
- Win client: added check_state.C to the project.
You can call check_all() to verify the integrity of client data.
This is commented out but useful for debugging.
- FILE_XFER_SET::insert() adds item to list, even if the underlying
HTTP_OP::insert() fails (because can't connect, e.g.)
This is necessary to make sure that the FILE_XFER remains in the
FILE_XFER_SET even in case of error, so that check_all() works.
NOTE: the semantics of insert() should be reexamined through the whole
FSM stack. Does it initialize? Is it guaranteed to insert?
Need consistency.

- Include file overhaul for the Windows platform
Basically the linker was linking Windows GUI resources into it because of various
references to afxwin.h, these have now been banished from the source tree except in
one location.
I added a header file called stdafx.h which contains all the includes for all the
system header files on Windows, each source file contains a pointer to stdafx.h.
stdafx.h contains conditional logic to switch between afxwin.h and windows.h depending
on whether or not _CONSOLE is defined.

Edits to change when the client considers a result to be at its deadline
it was originally 6 hours as defined in _BASE
if I did this right it will use the connected fraction to modify that amount
a 100% connected client will use the base figure, a 0% connected client will
use the base figure times the multiplier in addition to the base figure.
The figures I have here will produce a maximum time before deadline of
18 hours. 6*2=12+6=18 for debugging that may be too much but
it may not be enough for release.

- Another static/dynamic linking problem fixed by an ugly collect2
hack. It turns out that a statically linked linux client gets the
following warning at build time:
hostinfo.C:230: warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically
linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries
from the glibc version used for linking
and sure enough, when such a client is run on a linux platform
with a incompatible glibc, we saw the following:
2004-03-12 11:07:57 [BOINC] Can't resolve hostname setiboinc
2004-03-12 11:07:57 [BOINC] Can't resolve hostname setiboinc
2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Couldn't read master
page for http://setiboinc/ap/: error -113
2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Couldn't read master
page for http://setiboinc/ap/: error -113
2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Detaching from project -
check for URL error
2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Detaching from project -
check for URL error
So we needed to link dynamically to libc but statically to libstdc++
(for reasons described elsewhere in these notes). The only way found
so far to do this is via a hand crafted collect2 line. That, and
not linking the client statically in a global fashion.
We should make the collect2 scripts adapt to the environment in
which they ar run. Or, better, figure out how to do this all
within configure/make.

Separate notions of "trickle up" (client->server)
and "trickle down" (server->client) messages.
They're kept in different tables.
- added a program trickle_handler.C for handling trickle-up messages.
This is a framework program: you need to supply a handler function
- The scheduler sees if there are any trickle-down messages
for the host, and sends them
STILL TO BE DONE:
- server-side API for creating trickle-down messages
- client logic for delivering trickle-down messages

- Various changes to the way CPU benchmarking is done,
motivated by the need to make claimed credit constant across CPUs,
including "hyperthreaded" X86 CPUs
Old:
A single process runs the benchmark.
This gets 100% of the FPU on a HT CPU.
When 2 copies of an app are run,
they will each get 50% of the FPU,
so the claimed credit will be too high by a factor of 2.
New:
Run N copies of the benchmark in parallel,
where N is the number of CPUs reported by the OS
(e.g. twice the number of HT CPUs)
Average the results.
Revised interface:
start_cpu_benchmarks() starts up the N benchmark processes
cpu_benchmarks_poll() checks for completion
are_cpu_benchmarks_running() returns true iff running (doesn't poll)
abort_cpu_benchmarks() aborts processes
The set of running processes is maintained in an
array of BENCHMARK_DESC structures
Results are passed back in files in the Unix case,
where we use separate processes.
In the Windows case (where we use threads)
results are passed back in the BENCHMARK_DESC structure.

- tagged as seti_boinc_app_release_2_32 and released to alpha.
David April 3 2004
- added a mechanism to handle situations where an app
appears to have exited successfully,
but in fact didn't call boinc_finish() or exit(0).
This apparently can happen on various platforms, don't ask me how.
The new mechanism:
boinc_finish() writes a file "boinc_finish_called"
in the slot directory.
When an app appears to have exited successfully,
the core client checks for the existence of this file.
If it's not there, the result is placed "in limbo":
it takes up a slot, but the app isn't restarted.
If the core client is restarted, the app is restarted.
NOTE: when we release a core client with this feature,
it's critical that all users reset the project,
and that updated versions of all apps are released.
Might be a good time for a major release increment.

- synchronize access to shared-mem work array by scheduler processes,
with the goal of NEVER sending the same result to different hosts.
- Instead of a single bool present flag, there are now 3 states
for an element in the array: absent, present, and
"checked out" (being considered for sending)
- There's now a semaphore that a scheduler process must acquire before
examining the state field of an array entry
(note: the feeder creates this semaphore,
but doesn't have to acquire it
because of the producer/consumer situation).

(from James Drews)
client/

David April 8 2004
- Fix a major error in back-end logic (found by Jeff):
The canonical result's output files (and WU input files)
were being deleted when all results had server_state = OVER.
But this doesn't mean they've been validated!
So the third result from every group of three
was failing validation about half the time
because the canonical result output files had been deleted.
The fix: delete canonical result and WU files only when
all results are OVER *and* all results with outcome SUCCESS
have been validated.

David April 9 2004
- Fixed a nasty bug that caused back-end processes
to corrupt records in the "result" table, and potentially others.
The Bug:
- escape_string() replaces ' and \ by \' and \\ respectively;
this is done so that they can be used in SQL statements, e.g.
update foo set blah='abc\'def';
- escape_string() (which can increase the length of a string)
didn't check the size of its output buffer
- The stderr_out field of results with stack traces
often are near their 4KB limit,
and have LOTS of \s (in file paths)
- escape_string() was writing beyond the end of the
stderr_out field, writing garbage into fields
like batch, claimed_credit, etc.
The Fix:
add a "len" argument to escape_string(),
and use safe_strncpy() to avoid writing off the end of the buffer.

min_quorum
target_nresults
max_error_results
max_total_results
max_success_results
These are not copied to the output,
but are used to populate the WORKUNIT

- bug fixes in trickle code.
Trickle-ups work correctly.
handle_trickles works correctly.
trickle-downs are getting sent back OK
- client: if scheduler reply gets parse error, backoff project
(fixed bug where we retry every second)
- sched server: if request message doesn't parse,
send an "incomplete request received" reply
(instead of just returning: uh, ????)
- sched server: if request is not asking for work,
don't check min_sendwork_interval or try to send work
(avoid spurious "last RPC too recent" messages)

- Server: remove MEDIUM_BLOB_SIZE and use LARGE_BLOB_SIZE instead.
MEDIUM_BLOB_SIZE was used in various C structs
to hold database blobs for:
app_version.xml_doc (list of files in app)
result.xml_doc_in, xml_doc_out (output files)
result.stderr_out
wu.xml_doc (input files)
It was defined as 4KB, which overflowed if you had
more than 10 or so files (with signatures etc.)
Note 1: this greatly increases the size of WORKUNIT and RESULT,
to I decreased the number of WU_RESULTs in shared memory
from 1000 to 100.
Eventually we might want to redefine the shared memory
so that it doesn't store the entire structs
Note 2: these buffer overflows should have been caught early-on,
i.e. when the workunit, result or app_version was created.
We should never just do a strcpy() or even safe_strncpy();
instead, we should check for overflow, return error if so,
then do the copy.
I added some code to do this in workunit and result generation;
still need to do this for app_version (in Python)

- Massive simplification of STARFIELD implementation.
Instead of using the same 3D coordinate space as other stuff,
stars now have their own -1..1 type coordinate space,
and we do the perspective transformation ourselves.
This eliminates the need for all the is_visible() crap.
The goal was to get rid of the hang/crash when the user
moves the viewpoint too far away,
but I ended up rewriting the (crufty) code.
Got rid of get_matrix_invert()
- Moved glFlush() from REDUCED_ARRAY::draw() to SAH_GFX_BASE::render
(or whatever the app's render routine is)

- In the scheduler shared-memory segment,
keep only the result ID (not the whole result record)
in each WU_RESULT.

reread the result record anyway.

- Added code for Whetstone benchmark.
This produces a result several times larger than our own floating-point
benchmark (e.g., 750MFLOPS versus 160MFLOPS).
But it's not clear that the Whetstone number
should be interpreted as MFLOPS.
If you want to check it out, add a call to whetstone(10, x) somewhere,
and look at the result in the debugger.

David May 21 2004
- API: changed timer period from 50 Hz to 1 Hz.
This timer is used only for reporting progress and CPU,
not for doing graphics, to 1 Hz is enough
- API: if setup_shared_mem() returns error, set standalone = true.
This means that if you run an app standalone,
it will be detected automatically,
so no need for command-line args or even
standalone argument to boinc_init()
(but leave that arg in for now)
- API: initialize fraction_done to -1,
and only report it to core client if >= 0
(i.e. don't report it unless app specifies it)
- API: removed
#ifdef HAVE_SYS_SHM_H
#ifdef HAVE_SYS_IPC_H
around calls to attach_shmem in non-Win case.
This not an appropriate place for these ifdefs.
- core client: ACTIVE_TASK_SET::check_app_exited():
skip tasks in state PROCESS_IN_LIMBO.
This avoid core client spinning when apps misbehave.

starting_cpu_time -> episode_start_cpu_time

- Core client: attempted to make benchmarks more accurate

- Core client: in FILE_XFER_SET::poll(), when completed a file-size query,
close the socket before iniating the file transfer.
Otherwise we have a socket that's never closed.
Note: some aspects of the FILE_XFER/HTTP_OP/NET_XFER hierarchy
seem absurdly complex, like the issue of when sockets are closed.
The whole thing should be reexamined at some point (but not now).

- Support for "compound applications" (such as climateprediction.net)
in which a main program runs several apps in sequence.
The items are:
1) The app init file now contains fields
<fraction_done_start> and <fraction_done_end>
giving the fraction-done range occupied by the app.
Note: the app calls boinc_fraction_done() with values
from 0 to 1 as usual.
The API implementation takes care of scaling them
to the start..end range.
The main program must fill in these fields and call
boinc_write_app_init_file() prior to running each app.
2) boinc_finish() fills the final CPU time into the
APP_INIT_DATA struct, then calls boinc_write_app_init_file().
This passes the CPU time along to the next program.
3) got rid of boinc_child_start() and boinc_child_done().

- Windows sockets can't be used in fdopen() (thank you MS),
and we wanted all the standard XML output functions
to be able to write to either disk or socket (for GUI RPC).
So we added a class MIOFILE, with printf() and fgets() member funcs,
that can be implemented with either a FILE* or a memory buffer
under the hood.
- Moved MFILE from api/ to lib/ since it's used in the implementation
of MIOFILE
- Changed all XML write and parse functions to take MIOFILE&
instead of FILE*
- Changed GUI RPC client code to use MIOFILEs
- Changed GUI RPC protocol so that every reply message
ends with a \003 delimiter
(to make it unambiguous where reply ends)
- removed version number header from GUI RPC (rethink this later)
Got this all to work on Unix; will try Windows next

- client: handle a "down for maintenance" RPC reply as a failure,
i.e. do a backoff on the project.
This should hopefully fix a problem where if
a project is down, and a client has a result to report,
it will do an RPC every second, creating an overload on the server.
Do this by adding a new optional <project_is_down/> element
to scheduler replies.
- If get a <request_delay> from scheduler,
don't let that override the current min_rpc_time;
instead, take the max of the two.
- Change the implementation of trickle messages.
Instead of using dedicated trickle_up and trickle_down DB tables,
use more general msg_from_host and msg_to_host tables.
These will be used also for data management,
i.e. to send upoad or download requests to specific hosts.

- Check user idle time only if preferences require.
Some users worried that we were sniffing the keyboard.
- get rid of the CLIENT_STATE::user_idle variable;
call the function directly

boinc_setup creates an MSI with dialogs and options (launch on bootup,
desktop icon, etc.). boinc_setup_auto creates an MSI that installs
immediately with no prompting, ideal for Windows group policy to apply
to many computers

- PHP code: change parse_config() so that it doesn't
read the config file; you have to read it first into a variable
(using get_config()) and pass it in to parse_config()
This saves work when you want to look at several config params.
- db_init(): parse the DB hostname and use it in mysql_connect.
This lets you run the web site from a different host than DB
- disallow caching of top_* pages with random offsets
- change cache period of top_* pages to 12 hours
- fix bug in user name search (escape _, %)

Eric K 30 June 2004
- Removed "using" directives from header files. "using"
directives should not be used in header files for the following reasons.
- A "using namespace" directive cannot be revoked for any source file
including the header. It forces the use of the namespace regardless of
the consequences.
- Dropping the namespace qualifier on STL templates ambiguates the
resolution of template functions. (How many C libraries or headers
have you seen that define the function min()?)
- Reducing typing is not a good reason to drop namespace qualifiers any
more than it would be a good idea to "#define p printf"
- Namespaces exist for a reason.
- It's acceptable to have "using" directive in a source file, since it
won't affect other files. It's better to have "using std::string;"
directives than "using namespace std;" for hopefully obvious reasons.
