Has anyone tried yet to run BrookGPU or some GLSL code on Intel HD hardware?

From: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/vcsource-tools-opencl-sdk/The Intel® SDK for OpenCL* Applications now supports the OpenCL* 1.1 full-profile on 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processors with Intel® HD Graphics 4000/2500. For the first time, OpenCL* developers using Intel® architecture can utilize compute resources across both Intel® Processor and Intel HD Graphics. OpenCL* is seamlessly supported by the Intel® Graphics Drivers.

Wow. Nice find. So Intel is finally getting on board with GPU acceleration. It likely is very academic but I wonder how much hashing power those crappy integrated GPU have.

I bought a motherboard that supports using the built in Sandy Bridge GPU in parallel with added PCI-E GPU's....just in case I would ever want to use that extra GPU + monitor output. Well, if someone can get it mining, let me know! Even 25MH/s is a cool little boost.

I think maybe if ckolivas is made aware of this SDK he could pump some code out in a week to get this tested. Author of cgminer for those of you unaware.

cgminer is simply an engine for running open CL KERNELS. With Intel OpenCL drivers you could simply use existing kernels however for optimal performance you would want an optimized kernel. |

OK, then if it already works how do we pass options to cgminer to fire it up?

Try: cgminer -n Should report any SDKs installed and any OpenCL compatible GPUs detected. Presumably the GPUs need drivers that advertise their OpenCL capability. |

I will enable my Sandy Bridge GPU in the BIOS, install drivers, install Lucid Logix bullshit if I have to, install SDK, fiddle and then report if I can get stuff working. Thanks.

Sandy-Bridge GPU is not OpenCL capable (unless I missed an announcement by Intel) |

Ah shoot you are right! This OpenCL SDK only supports Ivy Bridge integrated GPU's (HD 4000/2500). Dammit! Well, the SDK is detected in cgminer at least: C:\cgminer>cgminer -n

There is no data on Ivy Bridge OpenCL power yet? i know it should be weak, but it worth a look, Intel does miracles, when Quick Sync performance becomed public, no one could belive it....

QuickSync doesnt even use OpenCL or the gpu (as in shaders), its basically a built-in asic for videotranscoding. I find it very easy to believe they achieve that kind of performance.

Here is my best guess:
2. Intel HD Graphics = 3-10 mhash
That seems a bit optimistic IMO. I'm guessing it would be around 500khash. |

It only has 16 stream processors, and the 5830 has 1600 stream processors. My CPU has 64 stream processors (or can do 64 parallel computations) and I only get ~7Mhash, I'd be surprised if the Intel HD got over 5 Mhash. |

Are Intel's "Execution Units" directly comparable to AMD's "Stream Processors"? I'd be more curious to see what the power consumption will be for the respective hash rate. |

That's the million BTC question. You can look at the performance data from the 680 to see that a new CUDA core isn't comparable to at VLIW5 SP, so we likely won't know until someone tests it if they are comparable. If one EU does equal one VLIW5 SP (and assuming they can run at the 1.15GHz boost rate all the time), you'd expect to see about 5MH/s out of HD4000. The 5830 only has 1120 SPs, btw. |
