[edit] General

Locality Scheduling is intended for those BOINC Powered Projects for which:

• Each Work Unit has a large input file (it may have other smaller input files as well).
• Each large input file is used by many Work Units.

The goal of Locality Scheduling is to minimize the amount of data transfer to Hosts. In sending work to a given host, the Scheduler tries to send Results that use input files already on the host.
