Would it be possible to have Intel OpenCL applications as well? I tried it already and it doesn't work: 1) It gives some weird and uninformative compilation error on my notebook. 2) It compiles on my desktop PC, but hangs quickly and entirely when I start it. My tests have shown that it's some bug in Intel's OpenCL compiler, even with latest drivers. It can run simple OpenCL code, but when it comes to current GPU code, it just fails.

Double check your settings here: https://sech.me/boinc/Amicable/prefs.php?subset=project. "Use ATI GPU" should be selected everywhere. ID: 327 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

All application versions are 64-bit, so they need 64-bit operating system. ID: 329 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
