Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit System Requirements

Overview

This article contains the common system requirements for Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit. For component level system requirements, please scroll down and click on each component link for details.

Common Hardware Requirements

CPU Processor Requirements

Systems based on Intel® 64 architectures below are supported both as host and target platforms.

• Intel® Core™ processor family or higher
• Intel® Xeon® processor family
• Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family

Requirements for Accelerators

• Integrated GEN9 or higher GPUs including latest Intel® Iris® Xe MAX graphics (DG1)
• FPGA Card: see Intel(R) DPC++ Compiler System Requirements.

Disk Space Requirements

• ~3 GB of disk space (minimum) if only installing compiler and its libraries: Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler, Intel® DPC++ Compatibility Tool, Intel® oneAPI DPC++ Library and Intel® Threading Building Block
• Maximum of ~24 GB diskspace if installing all components

NOTE: During the installation process, the installer may need up to 6 GB of additional temporary disk storage to manage the download and intermediate installation files.

Memory Requirements

• 8 GB RAM recommended
• For FPGA development, see Intel(R) DPC++ Compiler System Requirements.

Common Software Requirements

Operating System Requirements

The operating systems listed below are supported on Intel® 64 Architecture. Individual tools may support additional operating systems and architecture configurations. See the individual tool release notes for full details.

For developing applications for offloading to accelerators like GPU or FPGA, a specific version of GPU driver is required for the supported operating system. Please visit Installation Guide for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits "Install Intel GPU Drivers" section for up to date information.

For Linux*

• GNU* Bash is required for local installation and for setting up the environment to use the toolkit.

For CPU Host/Target Support

For GPU Accelerator Support for GPU

For DG1 dGPU Support (specifically Intel® Iris® Xe MAX graphics): Ubuntu 20.04.1 is required. Please follow the instructions on how to config the kernel and install the driver. 

OS Deprecation Notice

For Windows*

For CPU Support

For GPU Accelerator Support for iGPU

For macOS*

Development Tools

Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits

The Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits is designed to diagnose the system status for using Intel® products. With this utility, you can identify errors such as:

• Permissions errors for the current user
• Missing driver or an incompatible version of a driver
• Incompatible version of the Operating System

To learn more, see the Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits User Guide.
 

Eclipse*

Some Intel® oneAPI Toolkits include Eclipse* plug-ins that require the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers package (aka Eclipse CDT). The plug-ins support the past two Eclipse versions that were released as of one month before the toolkit was released. For example, the 2021.2 version toolkits supported Eclipse CDT versions 2020-11 and 2020-12.

The latest version of the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers install package is available.

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Extensions for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits

The VS Code extensions for oneAPI Toolkits provide assistance to developers who are creating, debugging and profiling oneAPI applications. The Using Visual Studio Code with Intel® oneAPI Toolkits User Guide provides additional detail.
The following VS Code extensions are available in the VS Code marketplace:

• Sample Browser for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
• Environment Configurator for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
• Analysis Configurator for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
• GDB GPU Support for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
• DevCloud Connector for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
