Once a task has been downloaded, the client has made a commitment to get it done on time. Hopefully the modifications to the resource scheduler will not prevent tasks from 0 resource share projects getting done on time - even if it means getting done in high priority.
Note that if you have not changed the calculation for high priority, you have not actually changed much as that incorporated resource fraction, and the resource fraction for a 0 resource share project, so it will never be listed as completing on time. So it will always run high priority. A better algorithm for computing High priority might be to go back to an EDF check (with fairly wide safety margins because an EDF check that fails to meet deadline really means it can not meet deadline). jm7 _______________________________________________ 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.
