newbee MacOSX Catalina MacBook Pro 9,1 GPUnot working

[goofyboy]

Hello everyone,

I'm new As Folding user and want to contribute too the COVID-19 project.
My hardware setup is the MacBook Pro 9,1 with the Intel HD Graphics 4000 1436 MB and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (NVIDIA (0x10de)
Apparaatcode: 0x0fd5
Revisiecode: 0x00a2
ROM-revisie: 3682
Automatische videokeuze: Ondersteund
gMux-versie: 1.9.23
Metal: Ondersteund, functieset macOS GPUFamily1 v4)

My problem is that only the CPU is used and no GPU. Is there a way too get fix this?

Thank you all for your time to read this.

Kind regards

GPU folding on macOS is not supported, and can not be configured to work. There is no GPU folding core available to be used under macOS.

People who have configured Mac's to do GPU folding have either installed Windows or Linux on the hardware. Currently that is the only way for GPU folding to work.

Welcome to the F@H Forum goofyboy,

Please note that in addition to what Joe_H stated, there's no plans due to some technical limitations.

Story short: initially Apple had a bug in OpenCL implementation and it took years for it to be fixed. After that, they have depreciated OpenCL in favor of Metal. Thus, unless Apple provides resources for development, GPU folding on macOS won't be possible.
