Use the GPU for computation

Also see AMD Linux drivers and Radeon™ Software for Linux® Installation.

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.

On OpenSUSE

Install the amdgpu-install package from AMD's Linux drivers page, then execute it.

# Previous versions of the package (like the one in the official documentation
# at the time of writing) made DKMS fail.
sudo zypper install 'https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/22.20.3/sle/15.4/amdgpu-install-22.20.50203-1.noarch.rpm'
sudo amdgpu-install

At the next restart of the boinc-client, something similar to this line should appear in the client's logs:
