| 78 | | Note: The input template is copied into a BLOB column of the workunit table and will substitute filenames, |
| 79 | | and have download urls, signatures and other elements inserted into your provided template. |
| 80 | | The total expanded BLOB cannot exceed 65,535 bytes. |
| 81 | | As a general rule, you should plan to use less then 15 files in your input template. |
| 82 | | This will allow you some flexibility on making your job names longer, |
| 83 | | adding more options to your command line, or adding additional download servers as your project grows. |
| 84 | | If you require more then 15 application and input files, |
| 85 | | you can achieve this using [FileCompression BOINC file compression] to zip several files into a single file reference for download, |
| 86 | | and expanding them prior to running on the client machine. |
| 87 | | You can check to see how large your expanded input templates become |
| 88 | | by comparing 65,535 with the output the following MySQL statement:[[BR]] |
| 89 | | {{{select max(length(xml_doc)) from workunit;}}} |
| | 78 | Notes: |
| | 79 | * The input template is copied into a BLOB column of the workunit table and will substitute filenames, |
| | 80 | and have download urls, signatures and other elements inserted into your provided template. |
| | 81 | The total expanded BLOB cannot exceed 65,535 bytes. |
| | 82 | This is enough for about 200 input files, |
| | 83 | fewer if you use long file names are multiple download URLs. |
| | 84 | If this isn't enough, you can use [FileCompression BOINC file compression] to zip several files into a single file reference for download, |
| | 85 | and expanding them prior to running on the client machine. |
| | 86 | * You can optionally enclose the input template in |
| | 87 | {{{ |
| | 88 | <input_template> |
| | 89 | ... |
| | 90 | </input_template> |
| | 91 | }}} |
