Posted 24 Oct 2023 by Bill F Post: I have had 3 tasks fail after between 12 and 14 hours with the following error: Intel does have some Driver Utilities that are easy to use for Driver updates outside of the OEM Windows or Manufactures standard loads. |

Posted 5 Aug 2023 by Bill F Post: Eric I am experimenting with an Intel GPU on Computer 2807553. It is a INTEL Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (1629MB) OpenCL: 1.2 Running on Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 Professional x64 Edition, (10.00.19045.00) BOINC version 7.22.2 It is running a whole lot slower than a non-GPU task Get Decic Fields v4.00 (default) windows_x86_64 Is the GPU application processing a bigger chunk of data or is the GPU not efficient enough to run the GPU task types ? Thanks Bill F |

Posted 12 Nov 2022 by Bill F Post: bunch of WU processed :) Run times are longer for the Intel GPU tasks. Are they doing larger amounts of science and should the credit amount be higher ? Bill F |

Posted 10 Jun 2022 by Bill F Post: I have added two systems to the project in the last 24 hours that have Intel GPU's. After reviewing this tread and seeing that some Intel GPU's have been identified as successful and some not. Can the successful models be added one or more at a time, to the look up table, for optimization ? From my first successful task GPU Summary String = [INTEL|Intel(R)UHDGraphics620|1|3227MB||300]. Loading GPU lookup table from file. GPU was not found in the lookup table. Using default values: numBlocks = 1024. threadsPerBlock = 32. polyBufferSize = 32768. System information GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8265U CPU @ 1.60GHz [Family 6 Model 142 Stepping 11] (8 processors) INTEL Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (3227MB) OpenCL: 3.0 Thank you Bill F |

Posted 9 Jun 2022 by Bill F Post: You have more months of experience to consider now. Are you leaving the App as BETA because of the issues that the weaker IGPU systems may have with inexperienced users or other reason's ? Thanks Bill F |

Posted 3 Jan 2022 by Bill F Post: So another year has come and gone. If the Intel GPU application is stable you may get more usage if you take it out of BETA status. Some people do not want to run Test applications and do not have that option checked in their Project preferences. Thanks Bill F |

Posted 22 Nov 2021 by Bill F Post: It didn't find my nvidia gpu A NVIDIAGeForceGTX1650|1|4095MB|49676|300] is a pretty mid range GPU that I believe has been around for a while. Are the project developers having to build an entire look up table or are there common industry tables available ? |
