If I have posted this in the wrong place, flog me and tell me where to post: I am running two PCs for SETI projects only. Up until today tasks would show SETI@homev8.08(alt)files, (OpenCL_nvidia_SoG) files, and 0.00424CPUs+intel_gpu files. Yesterday the 0.00424CPUs+intel_gpu files stopped processing with this notation after the file name: GPU(Missing)but the other file types continued to be processed. The fact that two PCs suffered the same event, I doubted the problem was with the PC, but I ran diagnostics which came back with no faults in hardware, CPUs, etc. After consulting with a SETI friend, I reset SETI on one PC (I did NOT delete it) and now the list of files awaiting processing no longer has ANY files for intel_gpu. That is a sizable loss of processing. I left the other PC as is, and it is still showing processing of the specific file at a stop (GPU Missing). Any ideas to resolve? (Note, I have two laptops running both SETI and Einstein, neither with Nvidia, and both of those are running intel_gpu files as always. Thanks.

Looks like your Intel GPU-driver has crashed or a windows update installed a version which is not suitable for SETI tasks. Check your BOINC startup logs for possible messages. Best to ask the same question on the SETI forum at https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_forum.php?id=10

Windows or Linux? With the latter you can choose between the OpenSource Beignet driver and the Neo driver that you can download via GitHub.
If it is Windows I'd try a new install (perhaps you might even try to update the intel gpu driver in windows first before doing a complate re-install).

Thanks for the comments re June 2019 folks; finally resolved with later updates. Now this: When SETI shut down I went shopping for a new home to crunch. Went to Einstein because my GPUs could be used there. At first it seemed OK but I found that I was not generating much finished data. The Intel GPU on both PCs (UHD 630) are running 95-100% capacity. Both PCs also have one NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070. Both of the 1070s are limping along at 4-5-6-7% utilization. I ran diagnostics on both of the 1070s, and everything, i.e., temp, fan, clock, power, memory, load, etc., etc. are well WNL. I went so far as to complete all work and then reload software in both PCs. No Joy. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I am not trying to generate numbers just to compete. By the same token, I am not a gamer and the only reason for each PC to have a 1070 is to crunch numbers. If this is an issue related only to Einstein I should probably find a project that makes full use of the 1070s. Thanks for any thoughts on this....

Einstein should be able to provide you with work loads that fit your 1070.
I think there might be a problem with your preferences or with work for your Intel GPUs that is maybe done on the Nvidias.

As a side note I personally wouldn't have the Intel GPUs crunching as there's hardly any benefit from it.
Usually, from my experience, Intel CPUs crunch better without having their discrete GPUs doing work as well, as a CPU core gets more work done than the GPU.
This might have changed with more recent models which I don't own, so it might not be true anymore, while it also might not be true for dicrete AMD GPUs.

Einstein released a newer version of it's Gravitational Wave search O2 Multi-Directional GPU (O2MDF) App on 12/10/2020 which might affect your performance. Has anything changed on your efficiency over the recent 7 or 8 days ?
