So I thought Einstien at home would work but it turns out there Intel GPU units only work on Windows. So my question is, is there a project that can run on a Intel GPU running OSX? Cheers ID: 58270 ·

Seti doesn't have work available at the moment which narrows your choices even further... ID: 58272 ·

Seti doesn't have work available at the moment which narrows your choices even further... The projects list only lists production projects. Beta test projects sometimes have a wider range: the Albert applications page (Beta project for Einstein@home) lists the following plan_class application: 'FGRPopencl-intel_gpu-lion' - Gamma-ray pulsar search #3 but like all Beta projects, they may not generate work for all applications all the time.
