While Rebirther is adding support for intel ARC you can try to run this.

I have already asked in TF thread. The dev is working on mfakto in mersenneforum. To collect datas we could need the output of mfakto --perftest.

This is a definite put off:

"do not do this work if you are concerned about credit."

I could post the output here. But it is full of error messages and miles long.
Is there a way here to set [spoiler] or attach a .txt file?

ok, got the file, will post to devs, there are some useful informations. Someone in mersenneforum has posted a full successful perftest, maybe the values in .ini file are too large.

Later today I will setup the app and plan_class.

My 8250U received 50+ of these WU's
Since this is real data, the GPU (Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (3228MB) OpenCL: 2.1) runs at 740Ghz and I expect it to take 4-7 hours to complete although BOINC thinks they will finish in 2 seconds (the 1060 takes 45-90 mins).

The other laptop is i5-1035G1 UHD Graphics (3173MB) OpenCL: 2.1 but it's not receiving any WU. The server stats do not differentiate TF by GPU app so I can't tell if there are any Intel available.
The return code is:
"12/24/2022 7:40:25 PM | SRBase | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks"
(The queue for GPU is empty, CPU tasks are set to 0 resource and has only few hours of work in queue)

Are all the WU's out or is something being rejected about the 1035G1?
(It was working on Einstein WU's)

EDIT: verified the 1035G1 is using Home preferences which has TF chosen, Intel and NVidia GPU's, no CPU.

Why won't this computer get Intel ARC tasks?

Under Your Computers it says:
shinobu INTEL Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics (13004MB) OpenCL: 3.0

In SRBase preferences:
Use INTEL is check marked (note I unchecked both ATI and nVidia)

I have changed the plan_class to not send out work for Intel HD Graphics, its too slow, BOINC doesnt have Intel ARC support.

Still tweaking the plan_class to get it work as I want. I will check the host, I cant test it locally, no card for that. I can only find 2 users with a card from all hosts.

OK, thanks.

It's at 8 hours and still crunching on the UHD. Most will be aborted for deadline.

I didn't consider buying an Intel ARC.
They seem underperforming for computation compared to the same year models coming from NVidia or AMD.
Maybe price per performance or performance per Watt's are something to compare instead?

Anyway, off topic.

The computation power is around 3060 / 3070.

Can you give me the host number? Cant find it.

Update:
I have changed something and your Intel HD got work, the settings ignore the driver version which is not good.

Intel HD using the same driver as Intel ARC, the only thing which I can do is opencl version limit but some of the integrated graphics also have this. The only thing what you can do is to disable Intel in your prefs.

I have given up on the Intel ARC 770 and replaced it with a Gigabyte GTX1660 Super 6GB card.

The Intel card is back in its shipping box.

I experimented running it on Einstein - far too slow, BOINC predicted several days per task. Same over at NumberfieldsAtHome.

The card is in the middle class but the drivers are horrible like AMD in earlier days.
