I'm coming around to the viewpoint that projects shouldn't be expected to supply estimates of job duration or application performance. I think it's feasible to maintain these estimates dynamically, based on actual job runtimes. I've sketched a set of changes that would accomplish this: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AutoFlops Comments welcome.
BTW, a bonus of the proposed design is that it provides a project-independent credit-granting policy. -- David Richard Haselgrove wrote: > ... if projects > are expected to fine-tune performance metrics down to the individual > plan_class level, then I'm sorry, but they just won't.
