System requirements - BOINC
For application graphics to work, you may need to install the 32-bit libglut library (or copy from elsewhere) into the 32-bit library directory, usually /usr/lib , but depending on distribution may also be /usr/lib32 .
GPU computing - BOINC
From BOINC Most computers are equipped with a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) that handles their graphical output, including the 3-D animated graphics used in computer games. The computing power of GPUs has increased rapidly, and they are now often much faster than the computer's main processor, or CPU.
BOINC: compute for science
BOINC is a program that lets you donate your idle computer time to science projects like SETI@home, Climateprediction.net, Rosetta@home, World Community Grid, and many others.
World Community Grid needs you to spread the word! Here is a smart way of benefiting humanity. Use your computer downtime to add power to World Community Grid.
