I don't understand the following. Can you give me example of how you think the anonymous platform mechanism should be changed? -- David

Not quite. It was just extrapolation. Current situation with "ATI" type is poor enough even w/o any additional accelerator types. BOINC treats 2 completely different GPU types (different API = different GPU type) as single one - "ATI". If stock app can solve this by app plan classes, anonymous platform app has no such possibility. "ATI" accelerator type does't discriminate between CAL and OpenCL APIs.

If AMD started selling a different type of coprocessor, we'd treat it as a new coprocessor type, not as an ATI GPU. -- David On 15-Apr-2013 1:28 AM, Raistmer wrote: > I would like to attract BOINC devs attention to this issue described here: > http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=71192&postid=1357117 > > In short, current BOINC accelerator separation by vendor names is > inappropriate and already caused issues.
