[opensuse-support] OpenCL and folding at home
Hi, I have an AMD Ryzen system and when I start FAClient I see a message about not finding the opencl libs. I looked on the folding at home web site about the newer foah and they mention using opencl.. Should I install OpenCL? Which files should I install? I am using Tumbleweed. The client runs pretty fast now so that's why I'm asking. Thanks.. mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

you are assuming we know what "folding at home" amounts to, and you mention their web site. have you asked them if you actually "need" opencl? have you researched the FAClient to see if it needs opencl or if you can configure it not to look for opencl or not complain about it? if your system runs that software w/o problems, why worry about it? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Folding At Home is a protein folding program for use by biochemists to aid in disease analysis...
have you researched the FAClient to see if it needs opencl or if you can configure it not to look for opencl or not complain about it?
Well I asked them and OpenCL allows the GPU & CPU to both be used...
if your system runs that software w/o problems, why worry about it?
So now I have a problem after installing some OpenCL files.....when starting the FAClient I get error failed to open libOpenCL.so I have libOpenCL.so.1 in lb64.....I did ldconfig and still nothing..... any ideas?? mike

Packages libOpenCL1 Mesa-libOpenCL should be enough.

The application shouldn't use libOpenCL.so directly, but to overcome this, you can try "sudo ln -s libOpenCL.so.1 /usr/lib64/libOpenCL.so".
