"Locality scheduling" means preferentially sending jobs to a client that use input files already on the client, with the goal of reducing download traffic. This is relevant to applications that run many jobs against the same input file.
Einstein@home uses a locality scheduling mechanism that is specific to their application. E@h and BOINC are designing a new and more general locality scheduling system; hopefully it will be useful to other projects. A very preliminary design document is here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/LocalityNew Let me know if you have comments are if you want to be involved in the ongoing design process. -- David _______________________________________________ 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.
