Description-en: metapackage for CUDA-savvy BOINC client and manager
The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a
software platform for distributed computing: several initiatives of
various scientific disciplines all compete for the idle time of
desktop computers. The developers' web site at the University of
Berkeley serves as a common portal to the otherwise independently run
projects.
.
Regular users (righteously) often find it an unbearable nuisance to
care for the exact configuration of BOINC for CUDA-savvy graphics
cards. This package adds a series of dependencies from the non-free
section to the regular boinc package. This also meant this binary
package to be redistributed in the contrib section of Debian.
