As well as having an 'Alpha' version of Boinc, the CAL driver version equates to Cat 11.8, which is a SDK 2.5 driver, so too old driver too.

That's an interesting, and rather troubling, development. The G2020T - like many other lower-end Intel chips - is listed as having plain 'Intel® HD Graphics'. By contrast, CPUs that we know can be used for crunching on OpenCL projects, like the i7-4770K are listed as 'Intel® HD Graphics 4600' - always with a number. We know that 2000 and 3000 (Sandy Bridge) didn't work, and iGPU crunching started with 2500 and 4000, Ivy Bridge.

If Intel's drivers are now advertising OpenCL 1.2 capability on even the smallest CPUs, as they appear to be doing on the download page, how are we - and more importantly, BOINC - going to be able to distinguish which iGPUs are capable of general-purpose computing?

Here's a problem reported on the Boinc dev forum:

BOINCManager / astropulse crashes system to reboot on Mac OS X

Thanks for explanation. But I would expect another type of failure if SDK 2.5 would be properly installed and detected... Some additional factor here (maybe BOINC alpha itself that factor? )

BOINC - going to be able to distinguish which iGPUs are capable of general-purpose computing?

If BOINC reports OpenCL 1.2 for iGPU, not for CPU itself - it should work. Can someone confirm that BOINC detected iGPU as OpenCL-capable, not CPU part?

We only get that level of detail from the Event Log, not from the website summary. So we need someone here on these boards to experience the problem and post their startup log.

I did try to install the updated driver on my Sandy Bridge, but it's a proprietary laptop build with Optimus as well, so I didn't get very far. I'll try again after a break, now that my day's main testing is over.

And in the end, we'll probably have to consult with Charlie again, once we've gathered the evidence.

I did use my Bay Trail system at Beta. Like other low end GPUs it also is listed as INTEL Intel(R) HD Graphics (1195MB) OpenCL: 1.2. The only problem I had was the estimated completion time from the server was far to low. Where the GPU takes ~20 hours to complete 1 AP the server was giving me ~1-1.5 hours. So the two tasks that it tried before I stopped ended in 197 (0xc5) EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.
I had planned to try again with a clean instance of BOINC to see if the estimate issue was just something odd in my client, but I had not gotten to that yet.

The HD Graphics found in the G2020T looks to be the same GPU as the HD Graphics 2500 found in the 3rd generation i3 CPUs, but with a lower maximum clock.

No, the estimation error is a pure server-side problem. If you want to avoid it, the only way we know is to inoculate <rsc_fpops_bound> in the individual workunit definition, to some suitably large figure. No need to waste time on the rest of BOINC.

I'm not sure if this is a one-off error or not, but thought I'd post it.
Invalid task
The machine that did it hasn't done a lot on Seti, but has been working away on Einstein for some time and I can't remember ever seeing an error on that project. So far, since the lunatics 0.43 installation, it's only gotten three tasks, one pending, this invalid one, and one that hasn't started yet. It does only GPU work, too.

Hmm, I can't guess much from that:

ERROR: Invalid parameter detected in function (null). File: (null) Line: 0

Unhandled Exception Detected...

- Unhandled Exception Record -
Reason: Breakpoint Encountered (0x80000003) at address 0x75763226

The Breakpoint probably isn't meaningful, the BOINC API uses a forced break to activate the debugger dump. I hope Raistmer can get something out of it.

Looks like oclfft_plan or tune switch were set wrong.

Looks like oclfft_plan or tune switch were set wrong.

Just an FYI, that machine isn't using the tune switch on the command line,
here's what's in the command line file:
-unroll 12 -ffa_block 12288 -ffa_block_fetch 6144

Not sure what the other item is?

It's the single case so far for that host: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=7407068 so hardly config error if config was stable between runs... For now just monitor result further and try to catch what condition could be assotiated with error. Not apparent from log.
Could it be out of memory state for that host?

Ok, will watch it and see if any errors come up. The config hasn't changed since lunatics was installed. I don't think it was an out of memory condition, but since I don't actively use the host (it's used mainly as a storage system for my other machines to back up to), I can't be sure. Thanks for looking.

That is the 4th error documented above. ATI HD 4xxx cards do not seem to be very happy on MAC.
