Description
To run workunits effectively, the BOINC server will stop sending workunits to those volunteer computers that make too many errors for some time. However, during BOINC apps development, workunit errors may arise from time to time. Therefore, to make development and debug not affected by errors, a workunit scheduling system is designed for the HEP@home project. With this scheduling system, reliable volunteer computers, especially those only for BOINC app development will get new workunits as soon errors get corrected but not waiting for quite a long time. This scheduling system consists with a new scheduling algorithm for reliable computers, an interface for volunteers to report errors are corrected, and a pilot App to verify the reports from volunteers. This paper will present the design and development details of the scheduling system.
