I am a little bit confused

I am a little bit confused after reading the whole thread. So Arc A series can ideally run on Windows with BRP4, but not BRP7, out of box, without hacking configuration, right? How about O3AS?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Arc GPUs will run any of Einstein projects without some configuration changes.  There's no plan class for Arc. The plan classes that have 'intel' in the name are for some integrated Intel GPUs.  Plan classes are visible in the Applications page next to the version number of a given app.  The only projects that support Intel GPUs are BRP4 and BRP7.  So with some adjustment to coproc_info.xml file, you might be able to run BRP4 & BRP7.

I am not sure if Arc A will

I am not sure if Arc A will work the same way as Arc B but our host is running MeerKAT (BRP7) . It required the modifications I posted here

It was not difficult to make these changes once the steps were determined. Let me know if you have any questions. Also, footnote, running 1x is way more stable on the Arc vs 2x. Running 2x crashed the driver multiple times and just was not worth the restart. Running 1x has been very stable.

Arc A-series will not work

Arc A-series will not work for BRP7 since they lack FP64 support. only the B-series cards will do BRP7.

Just read the previous posts... No FP64 doesn't mean it won't run. It just means it will be slightly slower for the FP64 part

no. it means it wont run. BRP7 has a hardware check for it and fails if the device lacks FP64 support.

it does not fall back to CPU for FP64 like the old FGRPB1G app did. the BRP7 app is different.

Wow, that A750 is going thru those BRP4s in under a minute per task. Almost too fast.

So it looks like BRP4 does recognize Arc GPUs but not BRP7.  If you're willing to make a modification mentioned by another user above, you should be able to run BRP7 on the B580.  Otherwise it seems like you'll be stuck blowing thru those BRP4s like a hurricane.
