 +<!-- Add your text below. We strongly advise to start with a Headline (see button bar above). -->
 +====== Set Up BOINC with ATI (AMD) Videocard under Slackware====== 
  
 +
 +===== This howto is used based on Slackware64 14.0 and boinc 7.2.33 x64, and ATI HD 4350 (RV710) videocard. =====
 +
 +
 +Firstly - install a fresh slackware64 14.0. Then we download the latest BOINC client from [[http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.2.33_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh|here]]
 +
 +Put the file ''boinc_7.2.33_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh'' in your user home directory, from who we plan start the boinc client/
 +<note important>note: from the same user we must start x window system, because otherwise BOINC will not see GPU </note>
 +
 +Then do:
 +
 +<code>sh boinc_7.2.33_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh</code>
 +
 +After that in our home directory there will be the "BOINC" subdirectory, which contains all the binaries we want. Now is the time to prepare a video card.
 +
 +Download catalyst 13.1 drivers from AMD/ATI site (the latest version is 13.1 - it supports legacy old 4350 video cards)
 +
 +<code>http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.zip</code>
 +
 +Then we must also download SDK 2.9 from [[http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/|here]] to get OpenCL support for video card:
 +
 +Now under root unzip catalyst 13.1 and type:
 +
 +<code>sh  amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run</code>
 +
 +and install it. 
 +
 +After that untar AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx32.tgz, and install it.
 +
 +Now you need to run a window manager from selected user (''startx'' from a command line interface), then in KDE (or whichever window manager you choose), open a terminal, cd into ~/BOINC/ and type 
 +<code>./boinc</code>
 +
 +You should see something like:
 +
 +
 +<code>

 +==== How to attach BOINC to project manager ====
 +
 +
 + 
 +
 +After that you have a working BOINC installation. 
 +To start participating in projects, go to setiathome.berlkeley.edu, or bam.boincstats.com (if you plan to participate with more than one project), and register.
 +In the second case (via bam.boinc.com) you can attach your project as follows:
 +
 +  * In one terminal window run ./boinc .
 +  * Open another terminal window with the same user, and in the BOINC directory type:
 +
 +<code>./boinccmd --join_acct_mgr http://bam.boincstats.com boincstats_username boincstats_password</code>
 +
 +  * in first console (where you ran ''./boinc'') you see messages like "account manager attached, project xxx attached, start to download,etc"....
 +
 +If you want to edit boinc preferences, you can create the file global_prefs_override.xml in your boinc directory containing the following:
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +<global_preferences>
 +   <run_on_batteries>0</run_on_batteries>

 +
 +===== ATI GPU without X window manager =====
 +
 +If you do not want to use X Window manager (say, on a server), but want to use ATI GPU in boinc, you can go that way:
 +
 +In the home directory of the account you want to run ''boinc'' from, make a script called ''dummy_wm.boinc'':
 +
 +<code>
 +#!/bin/sh
 +/home/boinc/BOINC/boinc --dir /home/boinc/BOINC >/home/boinc/BOINC/boinc.log 2>/home/boinc/BOINC/berror.log
 +</code>
 +
 +make that script executable:
 +<code>
 +chmod +x dummy_wm.boinc
 +</code>
 +
 +Then in the same directory create a script called ''xserv_boinc.scr'':
 +
 +<code>
 +xinit /home/boinc/dummy_wm.boinc
 +</code>
 +
 +Make it executable too:
 +
 +<code>
 +chmod +x xserv_boinc.scr
 +</code>
 +
 +Now you must run that script (''dummy_wm.boinc'') as shown below to keep it running.
 +If you log in in your server via ssh, for example, and run that script, boinc will be running, but when you log out, it will stop.
 +To keep the task running after you log out, start it as follows:
 +<code>
 +at -v -f /home/boinc/xserv_boinc.scr now+1min
 +</code>
 +
 +It will start the task after 1 minute from now.
 +
 +You can check the running status by checking log files: 
 +
 +<code>/home/boinc/BOINC/boinc.log</code>
 +
 +and
 +
 +<code>/home/boinc/BOINC/berror.log</code>
 +
 +You can always get some info about tasks with the following command:
 +
 +<code>
 + /home/boinc/BOINC/boinccmd --get_simple_gui_info
 +
 + /home/boinc/BOINC/boinccmd --get_tasks
 +</code>
 +==== ATI VideoCard stats info ====
 +
 +
 +You can also get some info about your video card state via commands (must be executed under the root account):
 +
 +<code>
 + DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgc
 +</code>
 +
 +and
 +
 +<code>
 + DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgt
 +</code>
