     3      A 'non-CPU-intensive' project is one whose applications use little CPU time. Examples include:
     4 * Host measurements
     5 * Network measurements
     6 * Web crawling
     7 * Network data access
     8
     9 A non-CPU-intensive project is treated specially by the core client:
     10 * The core client maintains one result for the project
     11 * The core client executes this result whenever computation is enabled,     bypassing the normal CPU scheduling mechanism.
     12
     13A project labels itself as non-CPU-intensive by including the <non_cpu_intensive> flag in its [http://boinc.berkeley.edu/configuration.php configuration file]
     14
     15This attribute is at the project level; there is no provision for a project to have some applications that are CPU intensive and some that aren't.

     17Non-CPU-intensive applications can use chunks CPU time; this won't break anything, and the CPU scheduler will adjust to it by changing its estimates of 'CPU efficiency'. However, non-CPU-intensive applications should try not to use more CPU time than their resource share fraction indicates.
