My new Dell OptiPlex 3010 with Windows 7 Pro has Intel Core i5-3470 CPU. Also has Intel HD Graphics 2500. I just installed the Intel SDK for OpenCL Runtime package. I also found IntelOpenCL64.dll & OpenCL.dll dated 2/1/12 on my hard drive. She's been crunching along quite nicely the last few days, all S@H v7 7.00 so far. Would OpenCL be able to help process these, or is a GPU or other app. required? BOINC Manager does recognize proper CPU and Graphics. Manager is version 7.2.33 (x86). |

There's an OpenCL application for the HD GPU being tested at SETI Beta - well two apps, one for MB and one for AP. I got an Optiplex 9020 recently, and I'm giving the apps a workout here - host 7137742. I was impressed that Dell had installed the right OpenCL drivers for crunching on the GPU - that model has a HD 4600 - right out of the box. I doubt there would be any benefit from adding an OpenCL middle layer of complexity for the CPU - we have pretty good native CPU apps here already. |
