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.

Intel® oneAPI 2023.2 is validated on Windows and Linux for the following driver versions

• Windows Intel® Graphics Driver
  To install the driver follow the directions in the article appropriate for your device
  • Intel® Arc™ Graphics, 11th-13th Gen Intel® Core™ processor directions.
  • Xe Dedicated, 6th-10th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor Graphics, and related Intel Atom®, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors directions. Driver version varies depending on the Intel Graphics in the system.
  • Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series (ATS-M). Contact your OEM representative for access to the Intel Registration Center.
• Linux General Purpose Intel GPUs (GPGPU) Driver
  For all Intel GPUs, the latest stable release validated with oneAPI 2023.2 release is https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/releases/stable_647_21_20230714.html. 

Note: These OS distributions are tested by Intel or known to work; other distributions may or may not work and are not recommended. If you have questions, access the Intel Community Forums when you need assistance.  If you have Commercial Support, create a support ticket.

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

Please follow the instructions on how to install the driver. 

Intel® oneAPI tools support for integrated graphics processors is available on 11th Generation and newer Intel® Core™ Processors. Active support for older integrated graphics processors included with 6th through 10th Generation Intel Core Processors and related Intel Atom®, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors will no longer be available starting with the Intel oneAPI 2023.1 release.

For Windows*

For CPU Support

For GPU Accelerator Support for iGPU

Intel® oneAPI tools support for integrated graphics processors is available on 11th Generation and newer Intel® Core™ Processors. Active support for older integrated graphics processors included with 6th through 10th Generation Intel Core Processors and related Intel Atom®, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors will no longer be available starting with the Intel® oneAPI 2023.1 release.

For macOS*

Note: 
- macOS* support for Mac* computers with Intel® Processors.
- Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit for macOS on x86 is now deprecated and will be discontinued in the 2024.0 release.  Several Intel-led open source developer tool projects will continue supporting macOS on Apple Silicon including oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB) and Intel® Implicit SPMD Program Compiler and we welcome the opportunity to work with contributors to expand support to additional tools in the future.

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.

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

• The latest version of the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers install package available at https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/.

Microsoft Visual Studio*

• Microsoft Visual Studio* 2019 or 2022 Community, Enterprise and Professional Editions with 'Desktop development with C++' component installed

oneAPI Toolkits on Microsoft* Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2)

• With Microsoft* Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2), you can use native Linux distribution of Intel® oneAPI tools and libraries on Windows*. For more information on usage, refer to Use Intel® oneAPI Toolkits on Microsoft* Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2)

Third Party GPUs

• To use an AMD* GPU with the Intel® oneAPI DPC++ Compiler, install the oneAPI for AMD GPUs plugin from Codeplay.
• To use an NVIDIA* GPU with the Intel® oneAPI DPC++ Compiler, install the oneAPI for NVIDIA GPUs plugin from Codeplay.

Known Issues

• If you installed Intel compilers as part of the oneAPI 2023.2 release of the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, the Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit, the Intel® oneAPI IoT Toolkit, or from the oneAPI Standalone Component page, please install the appropriate patch for your environment. 

  Two patches are now available, one for each of the Intel C++ and Fortran compilers, that were published as part of oneAPI 2023.2:

  * Intel® oneAPI DPC+/C+ Compiler and Intel® C++ Compiler Classic
  * Intel® Fortran Compiler Classic and Intel® Fortran Compiler

  The patch version is 2023.2.1.

  These patches apply only to Linux* and Windows*.

  These patches resolve the issue of missing Environment Modules utility modulefiles and other issues.

  The patches are available on the Intel® Registration Center, other distribution channels, like APT, YUM, and the standalone component page.

• When installing on Rocky Linux using the YUM repository or the binary package, the installer prints an unsupported OS warning message.  That can be safely ignored for this release.
