Agreement. Albert is a test project, keep testing. For SCIENCE!

Get well soon all
2) Message boards : Problems and Bug Reports : AMD card doing intel_gpu tasks (Message 112761)

Two proper ATI tasks, run on my ati:

https://albert.phys.uwm.edu/workunit.php?wuid=528234
https://albert.phys.uwm.edu/workunit.php?wuid=528233

Two supposed Intel tasks (by task name) also on the ATI (this was reported in the manager also, so at least resource scheduling wasn't interfered with):
https://albert.phys.uwm.edu/workunit.php?wuid=528182
https://albert.phys.uwm.edu/workunit.php?wuid=528179

My ati OpenCL runtime is environment 0 according to an OpenCl thing i ran, so is the intel app just running in the 0'th environment, and 0th device (ati card) by default? (I had a similar issue on PrimeGrid where the tasks were all running on the first device)


The iGPU runs Einstein short BRP tasks fine - two at a time even (using older drivers).

Hi all, i have a machine with multiple GPUs (one from each brand), and the AMD card is doing intel_gpu tasks. Not that i mind (it is... just a little faster), but you might (and it messes with scheduling).

eg: http://albert.phys.uwm.edu/result.php?resultid=1078216
https://albert.phys.uwm.edu/result.php?resultid=1075483
https://albert.phys.uwm.edu/result.php?resultid=1075517

(Sorry for posting this in the drupal forum first, it looked like there had been more activity there recently is all)

The more i look around, the more suspicious I am that Apple haven't bothered to expose the HD4000 in my iMac's cpu for OpenCL. I'm very willing to try an app if people think otherwise tho.

I wouldn't call myself experienced with app_info, but i'm certainly willing to give it a go if you can post an app for OSX.8. I tried compiling myself a version a few weeks back, generated a binary, but then either it or my attempted app_info caused BOINC 7.0.65 to completely hang when opening.

Well, it finally finished while i wasn't looking. Guess I'm just contributing to the background 3ºK of the forum.

My computer http://albert.phys.uwm.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=7157 is showing WU http://albert.phys.uwm.edu/workunit.php?wuid=337266 as 100% complete, and yet "waiting to run". Any suggestions? Suspend doesn't seem to help, even though I get log messages for it, updating the project doesn't report it either.

Cheers,
Andrew

Experiencing the same issue. Mac OS X.8.4, BOINC 7.0.65. Einstein works still.
