2022
2022.2
Overview
- Add device attribute query extension “cl_intel_device_attribute_query”. This extension can be used to query additional information about Intel OpenCL devices. The additional information may be useful to tailor a specific workload to the properties of the device. User can query the following information for CPU device:
CL_DEVICE_NUM_SLICES_INTEL: Number of NUMA nodes of the device.
For root device, it's the total number of NUMA nodes on the machine.
If sub-devices are partitioned with CL_DEV_PARTITION_AFFINITY_NUMA, it should be 1.
CL_DEVICE_NUM_SUB_SLICES_PER_SLICE_INTEL: return 1
CL_DEVICE_NUM_EUS_PER_SUB_SLICE_INTEL: Number of physical cores on each NUMA node.
CL_DEVICE_NUM_THREADS_PER_EU_INTEL: Number of threads per core.
- Prompt the user-friendly error message when TBB libraries are not loaded correctly.
- OpenCL ICD loader is uplifted and “OCL_ICD_ENABLE_TRACE” environment variable is enabled. When set OCL_ICD_ENABLE_TRACE=1 or true, detailed information of OpenCL ICD loader execution will be provided.
2022.1
Overview
