Task: BOINC-based compute grid analysis
This page documents a task in the Compute grid analysis (BOINC-based) story. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance, and any notes or results.
1. Goal
First-pass design for a BOINC-style distributed compute grid: Postgres central state machine, PGMQ hot dispatch, TimescaleDB telemetry.
2. Status
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| State | BACKLOG |
| Parent story | Compute grid analysis (BOINC-based) |
| Now | POSTPONED in sprint 10; carried forward. |
| Waiting on | A sprint with the slot to land it. |
| Next | Return to this once a sprint has the budget. |
| Last touched | 2026-01-27 |
3. Acceptance
- BOINC lexicon mapped to our domain: Host, Wrapper, App Executable, Workunit, Result, Batch.
- Postgres entities sketched:
hosts,apps,app_versions,workunits,results,batches,batch_dependencies,assimilated_datahypertable. - Constraints captured (Result/output_uri invariant, batch_state derivation, side-by-side app versions).
4. Plan
Captured during execution; cleared into the parent story on close.
5. Notes
POSTPONED in v0: strategic / S4 analysis; no implementation work this sprint.
6. Result
Design document only; implementation deferred.
