Linux*

Operating Systems

NOTE: For hardware compiles on FPGA, you must download Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software and BSPs separately. See Install Software for Intel FPGA Development Flows for more information.

Developer Tools

• Supported minimum versions of distributed libraries that the compilers are built on: GCC - 7.5.0, BINUTILS- 2.30, GLIBC-2.28, G++ - 7.5.0. If the highest version of GNU gcc used doesn't have the equivalent g++ package installed, the customer will run into an error. For further details, please check this article--fatal error: <C++ header> file not found with Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler
• Eclipse* developers: Eclipse 4.22
• GPU Development:
  • Latest Intel® GPU drivers from General Purpose GPU Drivers for Linux* Operating Systems.
• Intel® FPGA Development:
  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software (see also Intel® oneAPI Toolkits Installation Guide for Linux* OS)
  • FPGA devices or custom platforms for hardware compiles. 
  • GCC 7.4.0 or higher
• Development with Intel® oneAPI DPC++ Library:
  • Use of the range-based API requires C++17 and the C++ standard libraries that are included with GCC 8.1 (or higher) or Clang 7 (or higher).
• A known issue is causing linker errors while using Link Time Optimization(LTO) on RHEL. To resolve the issue, make sure the following minimum versions of binutils are installed:
  • RHEL 8: binutils 2.30-82.el8
• OpenMP development:
  • libffi.so.6(default version on Ubuntu 18.04). Users with newer OS versions will need to specifically install libffi.so.6.

• Latest Intel® GPU drivers from General Purpose GPU Drivers for Linux* Operating Systems.
• You should be on the "video" group to access hardware. Use the command below to add:
  $ usermod -a -G video $USER

Windows*

Operating Systems

NOTE: For hardware compiles on FPGA, you must download Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software and BSPs separately. See Intel® FPGA developmental flow webpage for more information.

Known Issue

• 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.

• Intel® oneAPI Toolkits 2022.1.3 and earlier and Intel® Parallel Studio XE (any version) do not support Microsoft Visual Studio 2022.
