| 14 | | * OpenCL support |
| | 14 | * Review Rom's BOINC Sentinels project |
| | 15 | - Prototype multi-threaded communication layer (client / Manager) |
| | 16 | _ ~ 7 times faster than current |
| | 17 | - Later this year or next year |
| | 18 | - gui_rpc_cient_ops.cpp, etc. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | * Write manager state info items (wxConfigBase stuff: Window size & position, locale) to |
| | 21 | Windows registry / Mac user preferences as soon as they are changed (needs flush on |
| | 22 | Windows, maybe on other platforms.) |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | * Change tooltip for Clear button in Simple View Preferences to say something like: |
| | 25 | - "Clear all local preferences listed above to restore their web-based settings and close the dialog." |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | * Create templates for Mac plist files. |
| | 28 | - modify !SetVersion utility to use these. |
| | 29 | - remove old plist files from GIT repository so they stop showing as uncommitted changes. |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | * Update boinc_get_opencl_ids() API code |
| | 32 | - Special value for type arg to mean "any vendor" (return error on older clients which don't have aid.gpu_type in init_data.xml file.) |
| | 33 | - what should it do if type arg does not match aid.gpu_type from init_data.xml file? |
| | 34 | - compatibility with <coproc> option in cc_config.xml? |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | * Improve handling of Max Disk Usage in Simple View Preferences |
| | 37 | - It has only the # GB Max disk space setting, but web prefs & Advanced prefs also have |
| | 38 | - Leave at least xx GB free disk space |
| | 39 | - Use at most xx% of total disk space |
| | 40 | - CLIENT_STATE::allowed_disk_usage(double boinc_total) uses the smallest of the 3 so the value shown in Simple Prefs may not be the one that is currently active. |
| | 41 | - DaveA wrote: "One option would be to clear the other two if the user sets prefs via |
| | 42 | the simple view dialog" but "clearing" disk_max_used_pct means setting it to 100%. |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | * Add Exclusive GPU Apps to Advanced Preferences Dialog |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | * Is there a more efficient way for Manager to determine when connected computer (client) |
| | 47 | has changed than repeatedly comparing connected computer name with previous name? |
| | 48 | - Needed in Event Log, View Notices, Simple View Notices (Simple View Messages) |
| | 49 | |
| | 50 | * David's "fix" for client infinitely restarting task which has a boinc_finish file. |
| | 51 | - I suspect it occurred when I quit BOINC after SETI@home wrote the file but before it was recorded in client_state.xml file. |
| | 52 | - It appears to have worked fine until David added code to kill any task with a boinc_finished file. |
| | 53 | - His "fix" aborts the task instead of killing it, giving a computation error even though it really completed successfully; I feel this is wrong (but a rare case.) |
| | 54 | - My comments: |
| | 55 | - any task with boinc_finished file in slot directory should be excluded from the active tasks list, its progress set to 100%, and recorded in client state file. |
| | 56 | - only needs to be done at BOINC initialization (i.e., when the client is launched.) |
| | 57 | |
| | 58 | * OpenCL support for CPUs |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | * Review and update Mac installer !ReadMe. |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | * David's partial "fix" for Windows installer overwriting all_projects_list.xml which |
| | 63 | may be older than the one already present. |
| | 64 | - his "fix" downloads a new copy immediately if new version # > old version number, but |
| | 65 | - this does not work for reinstall over same version (can Windows installer do this, or just repair?) |
| | 66 | - Could be OK if we added "don't overwrite if file already exists". |
| | 67 | - This defeats Rom's original purpose in overwriting the file which was to replace a corrupted file on server. (OK if file on server has been fixed, though.) |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | * Build Astropulse for Mac |
| | 70 | * Build Astropulse OpenCL for Mac |
| | 71 | * Build SETI@home CUDA for Mac |
| | 72 | |
| | 73 | * Build GR, CE and PtP v7.0.x |
| | 74 | |
| | 75 | * Reorganization of various types of preference dialogs in Manager: |
| | 76 | - See email from David "!Settings/Options in the BOINC manager" August 24, 2011 9:26:12 AM PDT |
| | 77 | - Separate dialog for editing Exclusive Apps (not part of Advanced Prefs.) |
| | 78 | - Also Exclusive GPU apps. |
| | 79 | - Ideally, just modify that portion of the cc_config.xml file, retaining formatting. |
| | 80 | - Or separate clear button for each tab in Computing Preferences. |
| | 81 | - Clearly identify which settings are from web-based (global) prefs and which are local. |
| | 82 | - Show values from both web-based (global) prefs and from local prefs if present. |
| | 83 | - Allow user to select which values should follow web-based (global) prefs and which should be overridden. |
| | 84 | - Clarify confusing settings in Computing Preferences: |
| | 85 | - Idle time value applies to "in use" memory settings, even if "Computing allowed while computer is in use" is true. |
| | 86 | - meaning of zero in idle time setting. |
| | 87 | - (low priority) have the Edit Preferences dialog display and enforce the various upper/lower bounds. The bounds are given in html/inc/prefs.inc. |
| | 88 | - Put these bounds in a .h file. have the client enforce the bounds when handling the set-prefs RPC. |
