Settings for using a GeForce 525M & Linux
Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2020 3:42 pm
Hi,
I had heaps of trouble getting my GPU to run work units as the FAH client couldn't find the openCL client on my pc. The issue i was having was shown in the log as "OpenCL device matching slot 1 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually"
Recommendations were to goto the 'Configure' menu, 'Expert' tab and add a 'opencl-index=-1' or 'opencl-index=0' string. But this was incorrect, the answer was to add a GPU slot into the 'Slots' tab with the following settings:
gpu-index = 0
opencl-index = 0
cuda-index = -1
The only drawback here is the folding speed is very slow. The current work unit is taking 24 hours to complete so i may attempt to run the next work unit on the CPU.
My specs are as follows:
PC type: Laptop
Brand: Dell
Model: 15z (P12f)
CPU: Intel i7-2620M @ 2.7Ghz
Graphics: Both Intel HD and Geforce 525M 2GB
OS: Linux Mint 19
Drivers: Nvidia drivers version 390.***
Hopefully this info helps anyone else with the same PC specs in linux mint.
