By default, OpenCL is enabled in LibreOffice . While enabled, OpenCL takes advantage of a device’s GPU (graphics processing unit) for faster performance time during calculations. This is helpful when working with large spreadsheets in LibreOffice Calc that require calculations on large sets of data.
If OpenCL is already enabled, the dialog displays OpenCL is available for use. If OpenCL is not currently enabled, the displays OpenCL is not used.
Select or deselect this checkbox to enable or disable OpenCL. Select Apply or OK to update settings. In order for any changes to take effect, LibreOffice must be restarted.
OpenCL depends on the availability of working drivers for your computer hardware. If OpenCL is not enabled by default, the drivers are not in working state, they may not exist or they are not installed.
