Have you checked out http://boinc.berkeley.edu ?
(see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing )

# yum install boinc-client boinc-manager

Will get you the basics. The client is the service; manager the GUI.

#yum info boinc* shows there's also boinc-client-static,
boinc-client-debuginfo, boinc-client-devel and boinc-client-doc.

However, the person that packages the RPMs from the BOINC
SVNs for the updates repos hasn't run his script for a few months, so
we're stuck at version 6.10.45 instead of the latest recommended
(6.10.56) unless you want to package it yourself (probably just as
well, as his script grabs the latest - currently 6.10.58 - to make).

Anyway... to make it use only the GPU, set its preferences to use 0 CPUs.
