I had an idea and was wondering if something like that already exists:
I run a server with low computing power, but which may well distribute data.
Is there such a thing as a BOINC Manager, who does not distributed the wu's to individual CPUs but to different computers, but keeps the BOINC work directory on his hard drive?
The reason is quite simple: I run many computers, often only a few days to upgrade or repair; they need a test run. They could still do something for the science. Unfortunately they would produce a lot of half-finished wu's, because they must be returned.

The advantage is clear: if a system is turned off, the 'BM' can carry on the wu on an different computer.
Furthermore, there is no timeout after long weekends or holidays when individual computers are turned off 14 days.
And the Notebooks could run wu's during backup or maintenance.

Sorry, no reward for hints, just a nice thank you!

No, nothing like that exists.
The closest thing to what you want is the Superhost idea, but that also doesn't exist yet. It's just an idea. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SuperHost

Hi Jord,

thx for the answer.
SZTAKI have a hierarchical BOINC implementation. Source should be available soon.
This was 21 months ago, looks like that this did not happen.
Sorry, was a wonderful idea.
Is there anything that could be done to bring this back to life?
