Setting up openCL
I am running Scientific Linux on a Scientific Linux 6.2 system, Intel P4 3GHz 2CPU 12000 bogomips. My graphics card is an nVidia G92 9800GTX.
See https://developer.nvidia.com/opencl
Setting up the nVidia driver
- 0) back up /etc/r
1) download the NVIDIA driver installer from http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-310.44-driver.html
- 2) Turn off the nouveau driver.
- in /etc/grub.conf, add rdblacklist=nouveau to the end of each "kernel" line
- 3) reboot to single user, telinit 3
- 4) run the NVIDIA driver installer. Among other things, this will add /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf
This adds a whole bunch of files and modules, including /etc/OpenCL with an nVidia vendor file.
