I searched and found an rpm and downloaded ... requires catalyst. OK, dl that, requires 3 more rpms. So is it worth it to go on a Where's Waldo? trek? Would it gain me anything? DNF info says there are 65 perl packages. Am I being taken for a walk in the woods??? Thanks ID: 70933 ·

BOINC does GPU detection by trying to load various libraries and seeing what they report. libaticalrt.so is the library needed for CAL / Brook+ GPU applications. CAL is what ATI (and later AMD) offered for GPGPU applications before they switched to OpenCL. CAL has been available only on ATI GPUs. And since some time ago AMD dropped support for CAL in hardware and drivers. Since you have NVIDIA GPU you don't need or have any use for libaticalrt.so or Catalyst/fglrx. ID: 70935 ·
