Developer Tools Requirements

DPC++ development

• Please follow installation guide for Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit for DPC++ development.
• For GPU development, the following GPU drivers are required from https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases with the installation instructions:
  • For public beta release: driver version 19.37.14191 or above
  • Adding to the Pre-systemd group "video": Use the command below to add your account to "video" group.

    $ usermod -a -G video $LOGIN_NAME
    

• Make sure two files (intel-cpu.icd and intel-neo.icd) with root permission under folder "/etc/OpenCL/vendors" exists after the installation (should be created by default for root installation)
  • Otherwise, create these files:
    • $ echo 'libigdrcl.so' > intel-neo.icd
    • $ echo 'libintelocl.so' > intel-cpu.icd
• Tool clinfo: an ultility that prints out the information about the available devices on your system. To install:
  $ sudo apt-get install clinfo on Ubuntu
• Verify existing kernel version: using following command to check if the kernel driver is "i915" or newer.

  $ modinfo i915 | grep "i915.ko"
  filename: /lib/modules/3.19.2/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
