4) Message boards : The Lounge : Apple M1 & BOINC (Message 102194) Posted 16 Dec 2020 by Franco Borgo Post: I was responding to the request to post result asked by Cthulhu I have a lot of old Mac doing Boinc, iMac 2008, Mac Pro 2008, Mac mini 2011, Mac mini 2014, and I bought a MacPro 2010 last may (and my father has a 2019 iMac) and I hope to switch to Apple silicon and give a well deserved retirement to some of those machine, (and have more room in my appartement). I would like the next Mac mini or a Mac mini semi pro if such machine ever exist I guess that we need to wait for project to be converted to apple silicon before being able to get some work from boinc it would be nice if metal was supported because my guess is that apple with have more gpu unit in next year model. https://www.boincstats.com/signature/-1/user/3702/sig.png

7) Message boards : GPUs : MacPro Late 2013 AMD W9000 OpenCL 1.2 (Message 52447) Posted 8 Feb 2014 by Franco Borgo Post: Bad News is seems that currently, An app must be program to use both card... I would need to check if GCD support dual card configuration. Maybe OpenCL use GCD. New Mac Pros support AMD's CrossFire GPU teaming, but currently only within Windows http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/02/07/new-mac-pros-support-amds-crossfire-gpu-teaming-but-only-within-windows
8) Message boards : GPUs : MacPro Late 2013 AMD W9000 OpenCL 1.2 (Message 52410) Posted 6 Feb 2014 by Franco Borgo Post: If you wanted to buy another one of those and send them to me, I wouldn't object :P :-) I will put you in the list in case I win the lottery :-) I know I could built a PC for a lot cheaper and more powerful. I just want a Mac, and also I like the fact that it can do this with minimum noise. A few years ago, I bought my nephew a PC dual core2duo with a nice GPU card doing about 50000 points a day on Boinc, my old octo-core core2duo Mac Pro was doing about 5000. I did not really had a good graphic card. The only problem with the PC was the fan going crazy. So after a few months, my nephew would shut it down at night. I feel like the new Mac Pro has a very efficient Fan. Thank you both for answering, Now I am writing in VMWare fusion's forum to see if their product can access openCL directly. Could be a solution to get more Boinc projet using the GPU on Mac I will tell you if I get answer. As far as Parallel is concerned, it does not seem to work. Would be nice to have a wait to run both OS at the same level. I think i can be done on some PC with a special kernel... Maybe i just dreamt it :-)

I did not get an alert about the 2 new posts I trying to find where i can change that in pref :-)

From this page http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing it would seem only two projects support GPU on Mac with AMD card Projects with ATI/AMD applications: Collatz Conjecture (Windows, Windows 64bit, Linux 64bit) Einstein (Linux, Windows on Intel; Mac OS X under active development) Any help would be very much appreciated Thank you Franco
12) Message boards : Questions and problems : Older Account keep coming back (Message 40857) Posted 27 Oct 2011 by Franco Borgo Post: I did everything once again but this time, after restart and install, I choose Add project instead of Account manager. I add a project with my nephew account, and it work, Then, as soon as I add his account manager, the other project came back with my account so I removed them, remove the account manager and add all the projects manually with his account, I will wait a few day then I will add again the account manager. Thank you info: It is windows 7 - 64 bits I have the option set to see hidden folder After the Add/Remove program control panel job was done, I found files in 2 location C:\PROGRAM FILES\BOINC\ C:\ProgramData\BOINC\ When I re-install the boinc 64 bit, it did say that executable will be put in C:\PROGRAM FILES\BOINC\
13) Message boards : Questions and problems : Older Account keep coming back (Message 40833) Posted 25 Oct 2011 by Franco Borgo Post: by following the "procedure", I though I had remove all data directories, but it is obvious now that I did not :-) I think i might have installed it as a service. Is there another place I should look for data directories. Thank you
14) Message boards : Questions and problems : Older Account keep coming back (Message 40790) Posted 23 Oct 2011 by Franco Borgo Post: I use my account on a windows 7 / 64bits computer for a while. Now I want to transfer it to my nephew. Every times I start Boinc manager. My account show up. I un-installed Boinc by following this procedure. [url]http://boincfaq.mundayweb.com/index.php?language=1&view=490 [/url] (but At the end, running the scripts do not seem to help) when I reinstall, I login with the BAM account of my nephew but my account is still there and new job are being downloaded. How can I remove everything from that computer, before re-installing . Thank you
15) Message boards : Questions and problems : MacBookPro No usable GPU (Message 31754) Posted 25 Mar 2010 by Franco Borgo Post: Thank you, I started with 32 bits kernel and now the GPU is "found", right now I use CUDA 3.0 - should I go back to 2.3 ? if I understand correctly, project that support GPU on Mac are, GPUGrid Einstein@Home Milkyway@Home Collatz Conjecture I will attach to all of them and see.
16) Message boards : Questions and problems : MacBookPro No usable GPU (Message 31752) Posted 25 Mar 2010 by Franco Borgo Post: My Mac Pro with 8800 installed boots up and auto launches BOINC. When I upgraded to .36 and finally got the CUDA working (ya!) I noticed that the first launch after a reboot it won't see the GPU, but if I just quit, wait a few seconds and relaunch it, then BOINC will see it. 10.6.2. My machine I have a MacPro with a gtx 285 that I bought only for Boinc. So far, I still get the No usable GPUs found message. Update boinc to 6.10.43, no more luck. I installed CUDA 3.0Beta, same result. Create a cc_config.xml file with <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> option - no luck. any help would be appreciated.
