So participants can process work on GPU's.

This is a huge task. If you know any developers who are qualified at CUDA/ROCm/OpenCL, invite them to work on CmDock.

UPD: As Gentoo files are updated, you need to replace @PREFIX@ in wrapper jobs with an actual path (e.g. /opt/cmdock-0.1.4):

$ sed "s|@PREFIX@|/opt/cmdock-0.1.4|g" -i cmdock-boinc-zcp_job_0.1.4.xml

If your platform isn't supported by SiDock@home or you don't like precompiled binaries, you can use Anonymous platform.

For Gentoo it's quite simple:
# eselect repository enable guru
# USE=boinc emerge cmdock

If you're not using Gentoo but still want to compile CmDock yourself follow these steps...

  1. Download and unpack CmDock 0.1.2 source code (GitLab link)
  2. Get meson somewhere and run in the sources directory:

    meson setup --prefix /opt/cmdock-0.1.2 build
    meson compile
    meson install
    

  3. Go to project's directory:

    /var/lib/boinc/projects/www.sidock.si_sidock/

  4. Download XML files there
  5. Download and unpack boinc wrapper for your platform or compile it. Place it into project's directory as two files named cmdock-wrapper_0.1.2 and cmdock-boinc-zip_wrapper_0.1.2
  6. Create empty file docking_out.sd
  7. Make sure /opt/cmdock-0.1.2/build/cmdock and all listed below files exist:

    /var/lib/boinc/projects/www.sidock.si_sidock
    ├── app_info.xml
    ├── cmdock-boinc_job_0.1.2.xml
    ├── cmdock-boinc-zip_job_0.1.2.xml
    ├── cmdock-boinc-zip_wrapper_0.1.2
    ├── cmdock-wrapper_0.1.2
    └── docking_out.sd
    

  8. Restart BOINC, make sure it detected anonymous platform and tasks don't fail


Note: I haven't detected any perfomance increase with -march=native optimizations. Maybe there are some with LTO.

After "sudo apt install libgomp1:armhf" it runs without error

Therefore this library should be bundled inside cmdock's .zip file

Source code of both CmDock and RxDock is available on GitLab under LGPL 3.0 license.

The problem is, documentation of BOINC Anonymous platform is too obscure, so I have no idea how to use it.
