Topic 226867

Hello guys,

 

I have a i5-6500 with an intel HD Graphics 530 GPU but I'm unable to get WU for the intel GPU. The same iGPU work fine in windows, but I can't get it to work in linux (ubuntu 20.04).

 

The output of the server communication is bellow. I check a couple of help forum and many suggest to activate the beta testing option which I did, but I did not receive a Checking plan class 'opencl-intel_gpu-beta'... 

Any clue about a way to make it work? Thank you!

I think your answer is on this page https://einsteinathome.org/apps.php and the line above that  says "no app version available: APP#25 (einsteinbinary_BRP4G) PLATFORM#7 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) min_version 0"

the problem is this

the problem is this line:

2022-01-28 00:58:05.0381 [PID=9418 ]    [version] Intel GPU device name: 'Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 [0x1912]' doesn't match 'HD Graphics [123]|HD Graphics 40'

 

the project scheduler has some issue where it thinks you don't have a qualifying device when you actually do. a linux-intel app exists for BRP4G, but the scheduler wont send work for it.

I've already asked Bernd to look into this, and he has replied back that he broke his arm and will look into it next week.

Ok, thank you both for the

Ok, thank you both for the feedback!

 

Ian, on another post (https://einsteinathome.org/fr/goto/comment/184540), I saw that you suggest to modify the coproc_info.xml file and lock-it. I give it a try with different iGPU name (I have the same iGPU running fine on windows so I try with the GPU name in the windows coproc file) without sucess... :(  

I also saw that you talk about some pandora version as a possible work around... If it works, I'm interested to try it althout I have no idea what is the pandora version and were to find it. 

 

Hope that Bernd recover well and fast! 

 

Thanks!

Pandora is a custom version

Pandora is a custom version of the BOINC client, not for public release. But it won’t solve this problem. 
 

and yes I’ve tried editing the coproc file too, and it doesn’t work. There’s something in the scheduler that doesn’t properly see the GPU as a valid device, even when the name seems to match what it’s looking for. We just need to wait for the project to fix it.

Ian, would it be possible

Ian, would it be possible that he doesn't have a GPU, only INTEL Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 ?

Or is that one of INTEL's latest GPU cards?

It’s the integrated GPU

It’s the integrated GPU that’s built into Intel processors. Intel has had graphics built into their mainstream CPUs since about 2010 or so. 
 

but that’s what we’re talking about. The project has an application for this device, but the project scheduler doesn’t seem to recognize any device for the Linux app.

I know years ago when I first started crunching we had to load 'crunchable' drivers for the onboard Intel gpu to work, could the person be missing these? Are they even still needed anymore?

I don’t know what you mean by

I don’t know what you mean by “crunchable” but I do have proper drivers installed that work for OpenCL and I’ve crunched some WCG OPNG work with it successfully and I’m having the exact same issue as the OP with the Einstein project scheduler not recognizing the device for this. I get the same message. in my log : https://einsteinathome.org/host/12901081/log

[version] Intel GPU device name: 'Intel(R) Gen12LP HD Graphics NEO' doesn't match 'HD Graphics [123]|HD Graphics 40'

Bernd will look into it when he has time

It’s the integrated GPU that’s built into Intel processors. Intel has had graphics built into their mainstream CPUs since about 2010 or so. 

I thought so.

I didn't know that BOINC, specifically the project scheduler, did not recognized it for the Linux app.  Is this for all of BOINC's projects, or just for Einstein?

when i say "project

when i say "project scheduler" i mean the scheduler at the project. this is a problem with Einstein's configuration on their systems which decide what tasks to send to hosts. it's nothing to do with the client/host BOINC software.
