BOINC control tool (currently broken)

Simple UI to control the BOINC client on local machine.

This is build with web technologies using Electron and an in-house driver to control the local BOINC instance using XML-RPC.

Please be aware that it is (extremely) badly written

To Use

# Clone this repository
# Go into the repository
cd boinc-control-tool
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Run the app
npm start

Note: If you're using Linux Bash for Windows, see this guide or use node from the command prompt.

Why it is broken ?

The goal of this piece of software was to discriminate GPU jobs in two families : NVIDIA (sorry others) and INTEL, to allow a more efficient and comfortable use of my computer ressources.

But, due to a recent misunderstanding of the jobs / tasks scheme, It does not work (for the moment).
