Intel iGPUs - supported now? [No]

[Breach]

I've just reinstalled my laptop with Windows 10 2004 and did a fresh installation of FAH 7.6.13. To my surprise the client created a GPU slot for the Intel iGPU: Gen9p5/GT2 [HD Graphics 630]. So far no work for that slot though. Is this expected behaviour? Are Intel iGPUs supported now or is it a glitch? Thanks.

They are not supported currently.

Could you post the log from the reinstallation showing it creating a GPU folding slot?

Here (unless you meant a different log:

Okay, that is what I was looking for.

Checking a bit further, a number of iGPUs from Intel processors were added to the GPUs.txt file recently, but listed as unsupported. For example:

Code: Select all

0x8086:0x5912:::Gen9p5/GT2 [HD Graphics 630]

The client shouldn't have added a slot for the unsupported GPU, but apparently did. It is possible your install downloaded a prior edit of the GPUs.txt file, and the entry had not been marked unsupported at the time.

Thanks. In my case, I have:

...
0x8086:0x591b:3:0:Gen9p5/GT2 [HD Graphics 630]

Seems a wrong GPUs.txt was pushed to AS1 then, as it's still incorrect server-side:
http://assign1.foldingathome.org/GPUs.txt.bz2

The download link for the current file is https://apps.foldingathome.org/GPUs.txt. There may be a delay in that getting loaded onto the server after an update.

Well, maybe it should go to apps.foldingathome.org/GPUs.txt, but it doesn't - I looked at the HTTP requests and also at FAHClient.exe - it goes to the address I quote above.

I think this was introduced in 7.6.10:
## v7.6.10
- Download GPUs.txt at startup before configuring the slots.

Oh, well. I'll fix it manually. Pity that it's improper behaviour, I was getting excited about iGPU support

[Edit: Ah, you meant that it will sync from apps.foldinghome.org/GPUs.txt to the AS. I'll just fetch the correct file manually.]

[Joe_H]

iGPU support is on the "maybe" list. They did get a lot of offers for software development help, and there was a very long list of wished for items to be worked on. Will have to wait and see which make it out to actual release. If this does make it out, watch for announcements here or on the Twitter or Facebook F@h sites.

Thanks. Unlike nVidia, Intel at least seem quite serious about their OpenCL support. On the other hand, I guess performance won't be stellar. On the third hand, mostly anyone has integrated graphics. And then, as Greg pointed out, "we need developers", so I guess there are quite a few things on the various lists. I am already following FAH on Twitter, let's see...

Cheers!

Both the device 5912 and the device 591b have the same man-readable description and both are Kaby Lake devices. The real question is which device you really have. Assuming your running Windows, download and run GPU-Z and get a readout of your actual hardware ID code -- or if you're running Linux, you can run FAHClient --lspci (or your distro may already contain lspci) and grep for the applicable codes. (There are probably several other ways to get that same information.)

Since the're not supported, it not critical but I"d be happy to correct it for future reference.

[epicbuilder2007]

at least Intel's UHD graphics are supported, but waiting time till WU is assigned is very VERY long.

[epicbuilder2007]

update: i guess not
so we could only use cpu for laptops

[bruce]

I don't see a problem. You have the second one listed: 8086-591B.

I don't know why there are two different devices but most likely they're very, very similar except for some small functional difference.

[Breach]

The description is not a problem. The problem is the :3:0: part, which makes the FAH client think that the device is supported.
