Limits apps within a project

[MarkJ]

Can we get a preference to limit application resources within a project please. At present we can setup project shares, but not limit apps within a project.

You would need to know what apps each project has and what the share is within that project. The current resource shares are stored in the account_xxx.xml. Under the project shares include values to limit applications (which should total to the project share). Another possible place to put it could be in app_info.xml.

Example: I have S@H set to 75% project share on a quad core but want to limit it to 1 Astropulse (AP) and 2 Seti Enhanced (MB) at a time. That is unless it doesn't have sufficent work to honour the preference.

account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml (some dummy xml to explain what I mean)

• <project_preferences> <resource_share>75</resource_share> <application_share>

<app_name>astropulse</app_name> <app_percent>25</app_percent> <app_name>setiathome_enhanced</app_name> <app_percent>50</app_percent>

</application_share>

Update: Einstein@home are also planning on releasing a 2nd app (PALFA search) for their project in 2009.
