For anyone getting started with GPUGRID on Fedora here's how you can set it up. It may also work for other RPM based distros. yum install boinc-client boinc-manager 2. To improve GPUGRID performance you can dedicate a CPU core to the GPUGRID app. To do this enable swan_sync by adding the following line to the start() section of the /etc/rc.d/init.d/boinc-client script: export SWAN_SYNC=0 You may have to redo this step if there is an update to the boinc-client package that overwrites the boinc-client script. 3. Reboot. 4. Run the BOINC Manager (in the System Tools menu). Check the messages to verify that your GPU was recognized. If everything looks good attach to the project and begin crunching. | |

Step #2 modifies the BOINC client init script which means that updates to the client could wipe out the change. The correct approach is to modify the /etc/sysconfig/boinc-client file.
