My question is - ought *every* download complete trigger work scheduling ? Yes, there may be circumstances where a download gets deferred for days. But when the (RPC) assignment for the task comes through, can't a "time check threshold" be put on *that* task, such that if all downloads to run that task get completed before its "time check threshold" is reached (I imagine those would be the majority of cases), then the "scheduling" for that task has already been considered, and does not have to be repeated. [Note - for me it is far more frequent that it takes more time to download the *executable* to run that kind of task, than to download the data files associated with the individual task.] [Since I run off-line, my typical downloads (when I connect) involve some 50-100 task downloads being completed within a few minutes.] mikus _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
