We've improved and simplified the CPU scheduling and work-fetch policies, using a detailed simulation of BOINC's weighted round-robin scheduling. This will give more accurate credit numbers We have added new API calls that allow applications to do their own CPU benchmarking, or directly report their floating-point operation count. We've added two mechanisms that give better estimates of result completion time (and thus better scheduling and fewer missed deadlines): 1) we track the 'CPU efficiency': the average fraction of CPU time that BOINC apps receive while they Check out Every Earthly Hour, developed by Hydnum Repandum OpenSSL's crypto library is used for encryption.Ī group of students from Cornell have written Distributing Science, a very nice article about BOINC and some of the projects using it.Ī paper by Jakob Pedersen and Christian Søttrup discusses the interoperation of the Grid and BOINC.īOINC statistics sites continue to evolve. Non-open-source code (RSAEuro and GLUT) has been removed from BOINC. This will allow BOINC to use HTTPS (secure HTTP) for scheduler requests and file transfers.

Ubuntu install supertab5/15/2023 More information to arrive on this in the coming days. Likewise, all the official flavours are expected to get their own minimal ISO files. However, the Xubuntu team already released a minimal ISO image which I tried here. As of publishing this, we are yet to get the daily build ISO for this minimal image. Once released, you can use this minimal ISO image to create custom Ubuntu Linux. In a surprise move, the Ubuntu team is introducing an official minimal ISO image (less than 200MB) in this release. You can learn more about GNOME 44 release on my feature highlights page: GNOME 44 – best features. Other key changes in GNOME 44 include Files now supporting file creation while pasting image data, an improved accessibility settings page for better navigation and a much improved GNOME Web browser. You can enable it using the settings shown below. expanded folder (or tree view) view natively. Furthermore, the Files gets the long-awaited missing feature, i.e. For example, in this release, you experience the image preview in the native file picker dialog. This release of GNOME 44 is bringing a bunch of long pending updates. Ubuntu 23.04 desktop version features GNOME 44. I am not sure about the necessity of this since Ubuntu already has some onboarding steps defined in a separate app. In addition, Ubuntu 23.04 now asks for the dark/light mode options before installation. The summary details about partitioning are now present as a separate page instead of a pop-up box. First of all, the look and feel are more modern compared to old ubiquity dialogues and widget controls. That being said, if you compare it to the older one, a few changes to the new installer. Because the default live medium launches the new installer. But I am not sure entirely how the old installer will kick off. However, as I heard from some sources, the older Uqiuity continues to stay (until next year). |
