Hello, I joined the development forum as Travis suggested. Here are some of my suggestions.
While using server distributed applications (for example milky...@home and s...@home), i haven't seen any app-info.xml in project folder location where it enables users to control certain features over the application; making it more specific on the demand of the user. I believe such tweaking ability will reflect as a performance gain. The obligation to use anonymous platform for deeper tweaking is annoying. The second thing is the usage distribution of the CPU: It would be great if the user is able to determine what specific project can use how many cpu core rather than a general usage, within the preference of BOINC client: For example i have two computers, both use server distributed application where first uses gpu and second uses cpu version and i don't want my first computer to use cpu applications. If i enable cpu usage, it enables it for every computer in BOINC list and in order to run cpu app on my second computer, i must enable the usage preference and then my first computer will receive cpu apps also. Is what I mean clear? The cpu usage preference shouldn't be general; instead it must be specific to the projects. The third thing, i did mention before: To run server distributed app and anonymous app at the same time. It finally leads to the existence of app.info for BOINC anyway. So, these are my ideas. I hope it will help for the development line. Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Keep your friends updated—even when you’re not signed in. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/social-network-basics.aspx?ocid=PID23461::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-xm:SI_SB_5:092010 _______________________________________________ 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.
