Currently I am processing 3 WU's at same time with a Titan GTX. On my haswell 4770k(4 core=8 threads) I am processing 8 WU's at same time. I know there is intel video processor on the CPU.My question is can I set the integrated chip that is right now shut off in the bios to actually process a WU in addition to what I am doing now?

I'm no expert on Boinc (far from it), but as I see it, the GPU apps are written specifically for ATI or NVidia, so maybe the answer to your question is - unlikely ;-)

An application for running Astropulse on some Intel gpu's is being Beta tested so there may be something for you soon.

The thread for that is: AstroPulse for Intel GPUs, open beta2

There's a revised app posted about a third of the way down the first page.

Actually there is both a Multibeam and an Astropulse app available on SETI beta.

If you crunch GPU AP units they need CPU cores to run their best.
