Note that CPU functionality for these processors remains fully supported and unaffected. Please check the oneAPI forum and release notes for further details.
Known Issue
-
If you installed Intel compilers as part of the oneAPI 2023.2 release of the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, the Intel® HPC 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 CompilerThe 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. On systems with Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 installed, Intel® oneAPI and Intel® Parallel Studio XE installers may fail during installation, upgrade, modification, or uninstallation.
