CAL Wrapper

[Shelnutt2]

Alright, here we go:
http://shelnutt.twomurs.com/patches/cal/

Binaries:
http://shelnutt.twomurs.com/patches/cal/amdcalcl/amdcalcl.dll.so
http://shelnutt.twomurs.com/patches/cal/amdcalrt/amdcalrt.dll.so

Place those in your /usr/lib/wine directory and then run the gpu2 client via wine. Make sure you have at least 9.1 or high Catalyst drivers installed.

Alright, who wants to test it for me?

WTG Shelnut, I wish I still had an ATI card, I'd love to test this out.

Does it work on the old school x1950xt?

I'll tell you if it wont work in win7 lol. Wait... wine... this are linux app. DOH

Well IF I can properly re-partition my raid 1 for more operating systems I may try it, although after just coming back... I have no idea what this is supposed to do?

Thanks Steve, but unfortunately you need a 2xxx card or higher for the GPU2 client. This is a wrapper that sends the calls from the windows .dll to the linux .so library files for the ATI version of the GPU2 client. This client is windows only, but through wine it will run. This wrapper and the CUDA one are needed because the .dll's are looking for the windows drivers under wine, but those don't exist. Instead we need all the calls made shifted to the .so, which is the linux library, and can interact with the linux drivers. The two libraries windows and linux are identical minus four directx specific extension, which are not needed for fah. So it's a simple process, theoretically.

Oh well... Guess I can do some SMP for what its worth. Would still outproduce all my other rigs combined and do it more efficiently. I just want to have some slightly better cooling on it, and possibly drop the voltage a bit first.

Hi, I posted my results at the official forum:

I don't have an ATI card that will fold, but I am folding with an NVidea card in Linux Ubuntu 9.04, using WINE. It works well. :)

With a bit more work, it looks like the ATI cards will be able to fold in Linux, with WINE, using this wrapper.

Another step up for FAH, although the work for the Linux GPU folding client came directly from the folders, instead of Stanford. :cool:
