I got a new laptop with Xe and 128 Execution Units. I didn't mess around with BOINC on it so far (well I use it almost exclusively on battery), but I installed BOINC yesterday. Didn't get any GPU tasks, but I'm slowly gettings some CPU BRP4 done (8 threads take ~an hour with CPU limited to 2.4GHz)
Do GPU tasks get released again?
Appears my laptop BOINC doesn't detect the Iris Xe. I have to dig into it...really want to see what what a laptop iGPU can do these days. It usually only draws my KDE desktop while I'm not at home, so I didn't check for 3d/compute to work properly.
Appeared the intel-opencl-icd package wasn't installed by default. Distros are so rude these days ;) Still no GPU tasks available, but were requested. We'll see

your CPU's iGPU has 96 Execution Units, not 128.
I had to use Anonymous Platform to get GPU tasks. the project doesn't detect the Xe as a valid GPU.
anonymous platform means running an app_info.xml file to define your own applications instead of letting the project decide. it does not require you to compile boinc for yourself, but does require you to have the application downloaded already.
you could also manipulate your coproc_info.xml file to display to name the project is looking for. change 'Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics [0x9a49]' to 'HD Graphics 40' and the project will see it as Valid to send tasks to.
after changing the file, you need to lock it so that BOINC cannot overwrite it. do this by setting it to read-only, then set it to be immutable.
Thanks for the help. I'm getting GPU tasks now (BRP4 1.34 for opencl-intel) but WU quits after a second with computation error. Had to suspend GPU usage. Doesn't seem a simple change of the name does the job. And I'm not familiar with in-depth (i)GPU characteristics to further alter the coproc xml.
BOINC was quite persistent in overwriting the .xml, but setting it with +i did it.
sorry I always seem to mix up the +/- for this command lol. +i makes immutable, -i removes immutable (no effect if its already removed)
let me try on again my i7-1165G7, which has the same graphics processor as your i7-11370H (you only have slightly higher TDP budget and 50Mhz higher clock speed)

Should be almost identical then. the 1165G7 was the previous iteration of my model, now they have the 11370H for that model, I'm very pleased with the performance so far. Small upgrade, but nothing to write home about really. If you have some file to copy&paste, I'll be grateful. But it's not that big of a deal...overall RAC of laptops isn't that high. But always feels better if the client is properly configured and running with all devices.
I think it might be a problem with the drivers on your OS. can you run other intel GPU projects not at Einstein?
I checked Collatz Project.....starting GPU task basically crashed my system. Good sign that something is wrong on my system side of things. I'll check that in the coming days. I wish the 22.04 Ubuntu+Pop would be released by now so I have an excuse to set up the OS from scratch. This Pop OS install is the first Linux laptop install I've ever done and I still have some teething problems to solve, but normal laptop stuff just works fine, the edges are still a bit sharp.

So how do I make this fly? changing local prefs file? I'm not sure I want to compile my BOINC client myself. Probably not worth the trouble.

ran fine via Anonymous Platform for me. (its the same exact application)

you're welcome to try my app_info.xml file, but I don't think you'll have a different result since it's the same application.
