I am having trouble getting the IntelGPU WUs. I am trying to run this on my i7-3770K and have set my preferences to only accept the Intel app from the Seti Beta project. I am also running PrimeGrid/CPDN on my cpu cores and Collatz on my Nvidia 660Ti. The IntelGPU shows up during the start up of Boinc: 11/9/2013 6:55:47 PM | | CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 660 Ti (driver version 327.23, CUDA version 5.5, compute capability 3.0, 2048MB, 1916MB available, 2810 GFLOPS peak) 11/9/2013 6:55:47 PM | | OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 660 Ti (driver version 327.23, device version OpenCL 1.1 CUDA, 2048MB, 1916MB available, 2810 GFLOPS peak) 11/9/2013 6:55:47 PM | | OpenCL CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz (OpenCL driver vendor: Intel(R) Corporation, driver version 1.1, device version OpenCL 1.1 (Build 37149.37214)) 11/9/2013 6:55:47 PM | | NVIDIA library reports 1 GPU And I have set to use all coprocessors and to ues the debug: 11/9/2013 6:42:41 PM | | Re-reading cc_config.xml 11/9/2013 6:42:41 PM | | Not using a proxy 11/9/2013 6:42:41 PM | | Config: use all coprocessors 11/9/2013 6:42:41 PM | | log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task, coproc_debug Is there something else I missed and/or need to check to get IntelGPU apps running. |

A couple of things spring to mind. 1. It doesn't mention it's got an Intel GPU, so that suggests your drivers are too old. Go to the Intel Download Center and search for the HD 4000 drivers. Install them 2. You don't mention the BOINC version but it looks fairly recent so I am guessing its 7.2.28, if not update to it now that it's the official version. 3. You don't need to use the <use_all_coprocessors> tag in cc_config as it's a different type (to AMD and Nvidia). You only need it when you mix ones of the same type. 4. SETI beta didn't have code to do Intel GPU until recently, so they may not have done the necessary scheduler and other back-end changes to support it. Einstein does support them. Once you get point 1 sorted out you might want to try it there. MarkJ |

Sorry I didn't say which Boinc, but yes I am running 7.2.8. Since this was a new build computer (just last month) I thought my HD 4000 drivers were up-to-date. Apparently not...Now it is up-to-date! Unfortunately, it didn't help. I think my problem is lack of a dummy plug. Since it wasn't a dedicated GPU, the thought of a dummy plug slipped past unnoticed. My monitor is hooked to my 660ti, so chances are this is the problem. I am heading to Radio Shack in the morning for the parts to make a dummy plug. |

I am heading to Radio Shack in the morning for the parts to make a dummy plug.The other option is to just extend the desktop onto the HD4000, telling it to use 'display device on VGA', i've used this on my Nvidia/ATI hosts for years, whether this works on Intel GPUs is another matter, my Nvidia/Intel host is a Laptop with only one display, both GPUs are are almost always available, no extending desktops or dummy plugs required here.

The IntelGPU shows up during the start up of Boinc: Boinc 7.2.x introduces OpenCL detection for the CPUs, the latest driver reports OpenCL 1.2 capability, yours is only reporting OpenCL 1.1 capability, so you'll probably need a driver update, especially if you want to crunch Einstein Intel GPU work (it requires OpenCL 1.2 support): 10/11/2013 11:39:49 | | CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GT 650M (driver version 331.65, CUDA version 6.0, compute capability 3.0, 2048MB, 1978MB available, 730 GFLOPS peak) Claggy |

Thanks Claggy! Extending the desktop onto the HD4000 did the trick. I can now sleep in on a Sunday...until the football starts, that is. |

Hello, I have the same problem, but extending display doesn't work. This is the log: 25/11/2013 13:22:46 | | CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: Quadro 2000M (driver version 312.69, CUDA version 5.0, compute capability 2.1, 2048MB, 1982MB available, 422 GFLOPS peak) 25/11/2013 13:22:46 | | OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: Quadro 2000M (driver version 312.69, device version OpenCL 1.1 CUDA, 2048MB, 1982MB available, 422 GFLOPS peak) 25/11/2013 13:22:46 | | OpenCL CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2820QM CPU @ 2.30GHz (OpenCL driver vendor: Intel(R) Corporation, driver version 3.0.1.13176, device version OpenCL 1.2 (Build 78712)) I am running BOINC 7.2.31. Any other suggestion? Should I put something in cc_config.xml? Thank you Marius |

What project? Does it have any intel_gpu applications? Have you chosen appropriate application types (in preferences) at whichever project it is? |

I have tried Einstein@home with the following preferences: Use CPU: no Use ATI GPU: no Use NVIDIA GPU: no Use INTEL GPU: yes |

Your intel GPU was not detected. Have you installed its drivers? These may not be the same as the drivers for the OpenCL support for the CPU. |

I have seen that the Intel GPU is not detected but it is installed correctly in Windows. It appears as an Intel HD Graphics 3000 and has the latest driver 9.17.10.3347. I also have installed latest Intel OpenCL support for the CPU as you can see in the log. |

The 3000 does not support OpenCL. Only the 2500, 4000 and 4600, so far. |

OK :(. Thanks. So I have to wait or upgrade my computer :) |
