Utilising the gpu in a headless envrionment - carlos_bistro - 06-20-2014

Is there anyway to get the graphics card to compute processes in the terminal (ubuntu 14.04 server) without needing to install a windowed environment?

on nvidia it works out of the box without x

this works for amd, too, but you won't have temp (and/or utilization?) shown for amd cards.

right, libOpenCL will work with just fglrx loaded, but libatiadlxx requires x11. so you still have to have x11 running & have Xauthority even on headless servers. see http://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=linux_server_howto
