= Assigned work =

This mechanism serves two purposes:

 * To assign a particular job to a particular host.
 * To assign a particular job to be done on ALL hosts for which an app version exists.  This could be used to run application-specific benchmarks, to test CPUs, etc.

A host with assigned jobs won't get sent any other jobs until the assigned ones are reported.

Assigned jobs are not validated or assimilated.
You must develop your own scripts or programs to process and clean up finished jobs.

To enable this feature you must add
{{{
<enable_assigned_work>1</enable_assigned_work>
}}}
to your config.xml file.

== Creating assigned work ==

The [WorkGeneration '''create_work''' script and function]
take an optional '''host_id''' argument.
If -1 it means send the job to all hosts.
If positive it means send the job to the host with that ID.

The names of workunits for assigned jobs must include '''asgw'''.
