Deploy OpenCL™ Runtimes

Obtain runtimes to execute or develop OpenCL™ applications on Intel­® Processors

  • Intel® Graphics Technology Runtimes
    • Target Intel® GEN Compute Architectures on Intel® Processors only
  • Intel® Xeon® Processor or Intel® Core™ Processor Runtimes
    • Target Intel® x86/x86-64 only

Important Change

Opencl Driver Version

There is a change in OpenCL™ CPU runtime for Windows* distribution in the 2020 February release to be consistent with Linux* distribution. The OpenCL CPU runtime is removed from the OpenCL driver for Windows starting in the 2020 February release version 'igfx_win10_100.7870.exe'.

  • But the installer of the new driver did not remove the old OpenCL CPU runtime when you upgrade the newer driver, so you may have two OpenCL CPU runtimes on your system. This issue is already fixed in the installation script on github here.
  • To download the OpenCL CPU runtime for Windows, please follow any of the following methods:
    • Follow the section 'Intel® CPU Runtime for OpenCL™ Applications 18.1 for Windows* OS (64bit or 32bit)' below to download and install.
    • Github: https://github.com/intel/llvm/releases
      • Search for 'oneAPI DPC++ Compiler dependencies' and find latest release to download, e.g. https://github.com/intel/llvm/releases/tag/2020-WW20
      • Following the installation instructions to install

Intel® Graphics Technology Runtimes

Execute OpenCL™ applications on Intel® Processors with Intel® Graphics Technology.

  • Specifically target Intel® HD Graphics, Intel® Iris® Graphics, and Intel® Iris® Pro Graphics if available on Intel® Processors.
  • Runtimes for Intel® Graphics Technology are often deployed in tandem with an Intel® CPU runtime.
  • Consider graphics runtimes when developing OpenCL™ applications with the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications or Intel® System Studio.

Check release notes to ensure supported targets include your target device. For Intel® processors older than supported targets, please see the legacy deployment page.

Linux* OS

Repository Install Guidance *Easy* | Manual Download and Install | Build | README | FAQ

Note: The latest OpenCL runtime for CPU requires GNU* gcc version 7.3 or newer.

Intel® Graphics Compute Runtime for OpenCL™ Driver is deployed with package managers for multiple distributions. Please see the documentation on the GitHub* portal for deployment instructions.

Considerations for deployment:

  • Ensure the deployment system has the (libOpenCL.so) ICD loader runtime from either:
    • Your system package manager (for example with the unofficial ocl-icd )
      • Useful package manager search hints:
        • apt update; apt-file find libOpenCL.so
        • yum provides '*/libOpenCL.so'
    • Build from the official Khronos ICD Loader reference repository.
    • Part of the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications.
  • The Intel® Graphics Compute Runtime for OpenCL™ Driver depends on the i915 kernel driver. Necessary i915 features are available with relatively recent Linux* OS kernels. The recommended kernel is the validation kernel cited in documentation. In general, deployments after the 4.11 kernel should be OK. Make sure to review the release notes and documentation for more specifics.

Windows* OS

  • Intel® Graphics Compute Runtime for OpenCL™ Driver is included with the Intel® Graphics Driver package for Windows* OS.
  • Download Options
    • System Vendor
      • See your vendor website for a graphics or video driver download for the system
    • Intel® Download Center
      • Navigate to “Graphics Drivers” for recent releases.
      • Try the system vendor first in consideration of vendor support. System vendors may disable Intel® Graphics Driver install.
    • The graphics driver package is built in with Windows* 10 OS install. However, the built-in default deployment may not contain latest features.
  • Release Notes
    • In the Download Center navigate to “Graphics Drivers” for Release Notes.

Intel® Xeon® Processor OR Intel® Core™ Processor (CPU) Runtimes

Execute OpenCL™ kernels directly on Intel® CPUs as OpenCL™ target devices.

  • Consider an OpenCL™ CPU implementation for Intel® systems without Intel® Graphics Technology.
  • Systems with Intel® Graphics Technology can simultaneously deploy runtimes for Intel® Graphics Technology and runtimes for Intel® CPU (x86-64).
  • For application developers, the CPU-only runtime is pre-included with the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications or Intel® System Studio: OpenCL™ Tools component.

Check release notes to ensure supported targets include your target device. For Intel® processors older than supported targets, see the legacy deployment page.
