Yes, for our project we need the clients to contact the server every few
minutes. We send jobs that last from 20 minutes to few hours. If the clients
don't contact the server for several hour then we are in trouble.

Patricio.

Re: [boinc_dev] Changes to client
scheduler from 6.12.33 to 7.0.25?
It was removed in order to avoid hammering projects from clients that were
not going to ask for work and had no work they were working on.
Perhaps, the code could be modified slightly again. Only ignore the
setting for contact server every X if the client has no work from the
server and the client would not ask for work from the project.
BTW, a really short contact period will play havoc with multi project
clients as they will not be able to get work from elsewhere while you have
no work.

Hello,
I noticed a change in the client scheduler when moving from 6.12.33 to
7.0.25: I
have the <next_rpc_delay> set 180 in the config.xml.
For 6.12.33 the clients contact the server even if there is no work, which
is
our desired behavior:
8/8/2012 11:39:09 PM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
8/8/2012 11:42:12 PM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
8/8/2012 11:45:15 PM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
8/8/2012 11:48:18 PM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
For 7.0.25, when there are available task the scheduler contacts the server
as
expected:
8/8/2012 9:26:33 PM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
8/8/2012 9:27:10 PM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
... but when there is no tasks it starts delaying the request
exponentially:
8/8/2012 9:49:45 PM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
8/8/2012 10:08:23 PM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
8/8/2012 10:32:36 PM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
8/8/2012 11:37:35 PM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
8/9/2012 2:59:13 AM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
8/9/2012 10:41:06 AM | AlgoGrid | Requesting new tasks for CPU
Is there a new option to force the rpc call even if there is no tasks
available?
We need this behavior because our boinc project needs a quick response from
the
clients when we schedule a job (we have workunits of about 1 min processing
time
and we schedule thousands at a time).
Thank you,
Patricio.
