@Claggy: Do you have a link where you found that?

I think you shouldn't forget, that beignet is under heavy development. There are commits each week. So maybe we can work it out with a little help of the developers.

/edit: And another point, beignet only supports OpenCL 1.1 right now, most boinc applications need 1.2 I guess. So we'll have to wait, till they get there.

Hello,

thanks for your replys. I read the whole thread. Even Windows with the official drivers from Intel has some serious issues with Intel GPU crunching. So it's not Linux fault ;)

I will not buy that driver, hell where would we come to. But I'm willing to try any open source attempts.

Unfortunately I can't post there yet, as I don't run Einstein and so I don't have credits and the bug and support area is restricted to users with credits. So I attached Einstein to my boinc client and we'll see how long it takes till I can post there.

I googled around to find a beignet + boinc howto, but couldn't find any. Maybe I should just give it a shot.

I already read, that beignet needs an X server. My computer is a linux server without X and without attached monitor. I read that on windows you need at least a vga dummy to make it work. I hope the beignet developer's worked around that silly restriction.

Greetings

That project has some serious issues or is just out of work units. I detached and reattached it and my client got one single work unit. Now it's out of work again. (All tried with standard cpu tasks.)

But in general, I'm really looking forward to that beignet implementation. Maybe more projects will support openCL with Linux on GPUs.

Is there any difference in coding OpenCL for ATI, Nvidia or Intel?

Wow that Beignet Implementation seems to be interessting.

Actually, I don't even get cpu tasks here from that Collatz project, seems to be weird. Before I put time into this, I'd like to see if this project does even work...

Does it work for you? Did someone try it up or does someone support it?

Hello,

referring to this list project Collatz Conjecture, there is Linux Intel GPU OpenCL support now.

On which processors can I use it? Is there finally linux gpu driver support?

This works quite nice for me:

1.) Make sure the boinc client does NOT run locally.

2.) Forward the port:

ssh -L 31416:localhost:31416 your.remote.host


3.) Make sure that the boinc client runs on the your.remote.host-machine

4.) Start boinc manager

=> Works for me.

This does not work, if a boinc client runs locally, as the port can't be forwarded then. You could look if you find a way to change the port of the boinc manager then like: NEWPORT:localhost:31416 your.remote.host. But I don't know there to change the port in the boinc manager.

I'm using this way to control my Raspberry Pi.
