Are there any projects which can run on the ARM GPU?
Maybe I am wrong, but the projects that do run on Android are running only on the CPU side?

Is there also any software to measure, e.g. how many FLOPS the CPU and GPU is capable?

Regards,

I'm not aware of any projects that can use Android GPUs yet, and I would suspect that they're currently pretty low in terms of computational power.

My Detailed BOINC Stats

From this site, the Scientific Analysis tests http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/?d=qa&f=ben_tab_opencl, seams pretty powerful to me for the Adreno 320 at around 100GFLOPS.
And if Adreno 420 hits 300 GFLOPS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adreno, it's gonna be more powerful than my AMD APU E-6410.
So why should I keep my 3 year old laptop humming, when I can just crunch on my phone overnight, consuming less than 5W?

Does this device support OpenCL ?

EDIT: accordingly WiKi page Adreno 420 should support OpenCL 1.2 full profile. Sounds promising.

Just read these two articles:
http://streamcomputing.eu/blog/2013-08-01/google-blocked-opencl-on-android-4-3/
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/googles-iron-grip-on-android-controlling-open-source-by-any-means-necessary/

And if RenderScript is the only way to develop boinc apps, instead of opencl, than please stop developing the app :|

... and to me it seams that ... google is evil

It's a pity since I was waiting to buy the next Nexus phone so that ... I could "run whatever I want" (especially BOINC on the GPU)... and I did not want the "bloatware" that was shipping on Samsung or HTC phones :)

But those articles made me reconsider, and now I am thinking of buying the best performance (GPU GFLOPS) per price ... obviously with cyanogenmod support :)

As far as I know the mali GPU's 4xx support OpenCL 1.1 mobile profile, Mali-T628 MP6(OpenGL ES 3.0/2.0/1.1 and OpenCL 1.1 Full profile)
Source: hardkernel.com
Zotac has a developement system (Zotac Jetson TK1) with Kepler Cuda GPU (192 cores) on chip but with downgraded capabilities.

From first article I infered OpenCL driver blocked in Android 4.3 core libs, not just on some of Google's devices. That make very bad future for GPU support under Android for GPGPU. Having troubles with NV not supporting OpenCL well enough to learn and re-write on third (OpenCL, CUDA, now RenderScript) language is hardly possible.

I would agree. New way of control what initially declared to be "free and open"...

I'm sorry but this topic is still unclear to me so please allow me to ask it again.
Can anyone please let me know is there any current BOINC project that supports android GPU ?
I mean android devices with openCL that is not restricted by Google such as galaxy note or galaxy S series.
Because I'm running BOINC on my windows 8.0 laptop and in preferences I can set both my laptop CPU and GPU running BOINC computations, so I just wonder how about android devices.
Thank you.

BOINC for Android does not detect GPUs or other OpenCL devices.

I got it. Thank you Ageless.
I think it's just not available right now. Since our developers start working on android devices, sooner or later they will include this feature as the way they did to windows BOINC.
Hopefully it won't take too long :D

What about http://portablecl.org/? Its can be work?

Google's Project Tango Using the Tegra 1k should be enabled soon.

Another option would be to run OpenCL apps only for specific devices, like the ones from https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Mpzfl2NmLUVSAjIph77-FOsJeuyD9Xjha89r5iHw1hI/edit?pli=1#gid=0

For OpenCL detection there are a few apps which do this in google play store, but it would be better if boinc does this automatically
