Help developing my first code

PabloBL — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 12:15:54 GMT

Hello everyone,

First of all, thanks for reading this.

I am new to programming in Python with GPU, and as my laptop has an Intel GPU, I cannot use cupy as a substitute of numpy. I am trying to use Intel's package dpnp. I followed the guidelines, and I installed Intel distribution for Python and Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, in that order, on my Windows 10 machine.

Then, I added a new environment into my Visual Studio project with the path of the installation, and it seems to work, because when I type Python I get the following

Now, if I try to install the dpnp package in the environment, it looks like it is already installed, because I get

But, if I try to run any code where I need to use it, it cannot be found. For example, if I try to import it:

In the screen-shot, it looks like the problem is with the package dpctl, but it also says that it's already installed.

Can anybody explain to me what I am doing wrong?

As a follow-up question, do you know if there is an easier way to make use of my laptop's GPU for programming with Python in any numpy-like library?

Thanks in advance,

Pablo

Hello,

After following some guideline where examples where presented (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/oneapi-base-toolkit/get-started-guide-windows/2023-2/overview.html ), I could do it. I think it was the proposed step that was missing, so I have accepted your reply.

Thank you very much,

Pablo
