Per project limitations #4790

Closed bonze82 closed 2 weeks ago

bonze82 commented 2 years ago

Some workunits such as climate prediction are huge, is it possible to make a per project limits such as lhc has server side.

Something such as this but on the client side not the server side: image

The max number of jobs would be a huge benefit. Btw I have lhc limited for troubleshooting a vbox issue.

I imagine this is upto CPND to allow on thereside since the BOINC code has the option its just the CPND project didn't choose to use.

If you want to limit client side then use an app_config.xml https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration

While this is in general a good idea, on practice it's not applicable to the majority of projects. We are not gonna implement this, and let projects decide (and implement if needed) by their own
