Not sure what you're asking; the only way to update the estimates is to run more jobs with each version, which I just checked in a change to do. -- David On 08-Dec-2010 4:04 PM, Richard Haselgrove wrote: > Sure, host_app_versions.php lets the user know what the server currently > believes to be th

Sure, host_app_versions.php lets the user know what the server currently believes to be the situation. But my question was more directed to finding out what the actual current performance would be, with either or both applications - just in case the server assessment had become disconnected fro

1) plan class is purely a server mechanism; it's relevant to all client versions. If an app_plan function references info that's only reported by certain clients (e.g., GPU list or CPU capabilities) then it will return false (i.e. that app version won't be sent). 2) clients report all the platform

Hi! 1. I'm not fully aware of how the client interacts with the scheduler regarding plan classes. I'd need to send different Apps to clients that do support plan classes (>= 6.2?) and those which don't. How do I do this? Will a "generic" plan class (that doesn't actually e.g. check the CPU ca

Unfortunately, "close" to completion can be quite a long time for some projects. For example, the last 5% of a CPDN task can take a couple of weeks on some machines. We have discussed it in the past, and cannot come up with any definition of "close" that is not completely open ended. In the curr

I have regularly been seeing Docking WUs suspend at 100% completion. They do eventually start running again and complete. It would be nice to keep BOINC from pausing WUs close to completion if it's not too hard to do. Regards/Ed On Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 7:51 AM, wrote: > One bit of further inf
