## Use the GPU for computations
To use the GPU for projects you may need the proprietary nVidia or AMD drivers. See [AMD Linux drivers] and [Radeon™ Software for Linux® Installation].
```sh
amdgpu-install --usecase=workstation --opencl=rocr
```
The BOINC client seems to need to be added to the `video` group to be able to use the drivers correctly - this is something I still need to check.
```sh
gpasswd -a 'boinc' 'video'
usermod --append --groups 'video' 'boinc'
```
### On OpenSUSE
Install the `amdgpu-install` package from [AMD's Linux drivers][amd linux drivers] page, then execute it.
```sh

# at the time of writing) made DKMS fail.

If the resulting number of platform is `0`, you need to install the proprietary drivers for your card.
