New version of the script in Makefile style. Invoke with "make -f ./Mersenne-gpu.Makefile <section-name>" when logged in as root. The makefile is made for manual installation and requires user confirmation at every installation step. If the user wants to automate the process, they have to add the -y option to apt, but this is not recommended as if some step fails, subsequent steps may also fail. The make command should however warn when an error occurs.
The section-name can be: mfakto, primetools, gpuowl.
This Makefile builds a Mersenne GPU Computing Node, it installs the programs to do Mersenne GPU computing.
-

-
Primetools: work fetch/submit scripts and other utilities
-

The prep-bench.sh script prepares the directory for storing benchmarks. The gpuowl-bench.sh script runs the actual benchmarks, see the script for parameters explanation. The first command-line argument should be the gpu model name and/or number.
