BOINC MANAGER 7.2.39

[myshortpencil]

Anyone have more specifics about the changes to CPU and GPU scheduling and work-fetch in 7.2.39 as reported at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Release_Notes ?

Maybe they made it work correctly Wouldn't it be nice if when you hit Update it actually did what you asked rather than what it wants to do!

Going to update systems to it tomorrow. I will let you know if they are any issues with it.

As for changes you asked about There is more here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum...id=52011#52198

"We've released version 7.2.39 of BOINC.

Changes include:

- Revert back to the original CPU throttling scheme.
To test: use CPU throttling and compare results with 7.2.33 or older."

and

"Preliminary Change Log 7.2.38 --> 7.2.39:
• client: <cpu_sched> shouldn't show suspend/resume msgs for CPU throttling.

• client: fix bugs in accounting elapsed time.

• client: don't use sub-second CPU throttling.

The developer forgot that the wrapper has a 1-second poll for suspend and resume, so sub-second throttling won't work properly for wrapper apps. Revert to a variant of the old scheme, in which the min of the suspended and resumed periods is 1 sec. Also, fix task start/suspend/resume log messages."

Crap, I forgot to upgrade client.

[EmSti]

Ok, upgraded no issues. Not that I was expecting any.

[myshortpencil]
