Partly. It is also possible to specify minimums in addition to the plan class (RAM, Video RAM, CPU speed, ...). The client uses the information in the plan class to schedule the task to the correct device(s). The server must choose a plan class that matches the work request from the client, so if there is no matching plan class, the server should send no work. However, extra minimums may also need to be enforced by the server in order to get work done in a reasonable time, or even at all. > If not, what exact purpose of this setting? > > And second question: does any list of supported hardware(and software > environment) by each plan_class exist? > > _______________________________________________ > 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. > _______________________________________________ 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.
