I know Beta testing is ongoing for Windows and Linux GPU science apps. Any timeframe for OSX support? All OSX systems since 10.6.0 have have OpenCL support baked into the OS standard. I think 10.6 came out in 2008.

Hello Bernd Schnitker,
 Right now the usual question in the GPU Support Forum is about when will any GPU testing be done. We are having problems with the BOINC Server 700 code, which seems to have brought GPU support to a halt.So . . . no OSX testing in the near future. Just out of my own curiosity - - What GPU board are you planning to run under OSX ?  Lawrence |

I have a 2010 Mac Mini with its built in Nvidia 320M a slightly uprated 9600 equivalent. I know the newer macs have either better ATI/Nvidia GPUs or one of the built in Intel ones. Depends on the chips used. I know the newest have an Intel 4000HD? and a discrete GPU.

Per knreed, first finishing beta and launching for Windows, and then Linux and later still OS-X [or the other way around... CRE], but not anytime soon. If the Windows GPU runs to satisfaction, only then the next challenge will be started on.

I do not want to start new thread, so I will hijack this one :-)
----------------------------------------In the new announcement https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,33741 there is not stated for which OS's will be beta WU's distributed. I would like to ask if I can expect any for my openCL ATI GPU on MAC OS X 10.8.1? Thanks in advance for answer. Cheers and NI!  Crunching@Home since January 13 2000.

branjo, as was stated by techs [knreed is the man running the show on this], Linux and OS-X wont be worked on until the Windows version is well and truly moved to production and running stable. *Only then* will they be

Hope I'll catch some when I get home to my PC...

OK, thank you SekeRob. I know Windows OS prevails on PC market, but small bit of info regarding OS in such announcements would avoid not-that-smart questions from users as I am :-)

(GPU WUs being distributed as we speak) Subscribe to the Beta Read Only forum [set up a watch with *No Digest*], and you get mailed anytime activity is announced. 99.9% of the beta testing is prefaced by a post in that forum. (Wish I could subscribe to tech posts in general, no matter where posted). |

... By the way, is this already happening? ... Guessing yes, because my BOINC Manager started to request tasks for ATI at WCG. Good luck and NI! :-) Crunching@Home since January 13 2000. Shrubbing@Home since January 5 2006 |
