Well it seems PrimeGrid did the job :

Intel ARC GPUs! Apple M1/M2 CPU and GPU!!!

Effective immediately, PrimeGrid has apps for the following sub-projects for the new hardware:

Native Apple M1/M2 ARM CPU apps are available on GFN-17 through GFN-22.

Native M1/M2 GPU apps are available on GFN-16 through GFN-22 as well as DYFL.

Intel ARC GPU apps are available on GFN-16 through GFN-22 as well as DYFL.

M1 Mac or M1 Ultra Mac are incapable of running any BOINC gpu application whether OpenCL or CUDA as M1* Mac does not support either graphic compute API.

This is horrible to read. I assume it also applies to mac M2 ? and so any Mac in the future will never allow any GPGPU capacity ?

"7.20.4 is an alpha version" ? I just installed it because it appears as the official stable version on the boinc download page !

Thanks for the release management...

I'm using an Intel iMac so I see how see how it goes.

The fault was Intego software but not NetBarrier, it was ContentBarrier against BoincMaster and/or BoincProject users.

It's working now :)

Hi

impossible to use it on my iMac 27p intel late 2020 : all network communications are failing, with any project + boinc main + project manager (SAM).

I downgrade to 7.16.21 : running again
Upgrade again to 7.20.2 : same issue
Reboot, upgrade macOS to 12.5.1 (I had 12.3.x I think, the upgrade was pending), no luck.

I use security software Intego, I deactivated NetBarrier to test, made sure boinc is enabled, etc, no luck.

I have to use 7.16.21...

(first time this happens with all previous boinc updates I've done)

Any idea ?

Someone finally suggested this on the TN-Grid forum :)

Hi

I am reporting a project connexion problem on NFS and TN-Grid since end of August (and not end of September) that only affect macOS client and that is still going on for me.

"Failure when receiving data from the peer" is the error on both projects. Old tasks done in July before I went on holidays are still there, impossible to send back or to get any new work.

It started end of August.

I was using latest mac version is 7.16.19 (early August release, only talking about translations issues). I had to downgrade recently to 7.16.11 (for other reason) but it is the same.

Thanks for your inputs.

I had not noticed this until recently because the "defunct old iMac" I'm referring to has been working well during 10 years (crunching for boinc H24/D7), so the old Cord was still doing the job, despite all system upgrades.

Thank you for making the subject visible again, I read the 2017 issue history with interest.

Hopefully some solution can be implemented.

At my end I could not manage to run that FreeRDP RDP client that I "apparently installed", I mean outside of boinc. I remain skeptical with the Homebrew installation output...

Hi all

on my defunct old iMac I used to (happily) use Cord to display the console for VB applications.

In my new iMac I realized that Cord was "terminated" and they suggest to use FreeRDP instead.

I "think" I actually managed to install that FreeRDP with Homebrew, but boinc seems to have "hardcoded" the fact that it needed Cord when you try to display the console (clicking the console button will fail and display a error message about Cord missing).

I apparently now have a (command line only ?) "xfreerdp" application installed, but I have no clue on how this could potentially replace Cord for boinc.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Good to know nothing bad happened to your server and thanks for the update.

Unfortunately we at l'Alliance Francophone were doing an event on Rosetta and Acoustics when it went down, so we (quite a good numbers of crunchers) were having lots of tasks being crunched, and they have all past the deadline now : we are hoping that you will do something when the project reopens to the public so that all these tasks are not lost / killed by the server when they are finally sent back !

It represents a lot of science calculation (at your benefit) and credits (at ours ;) ) so we really hope you can do something about it.

Thanks a lot in advance and good luck
