I mean, I want to use the graphics 4600 to do some calculation like using GPU. Is this possible?

Hello Shaohua

To perform calculations using a GPU the best option is to use the OpenCL standard; Intel offers two implementations:

The first is the Intel® OpenCL SDK: https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-opencl https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-opencl this implementation is designed to work on Windows.

The other is the Beignet project: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Beignet/ http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Beignet/ this is an OpenCL open source implementation.

Here are some additional links with more information about OpenCL

I hope this information is useful to you

Best Regards,

Thanks a lot. I see. I see the details about the two builders. My computer is core i5-4750 and HD graphics 4600, I thought both of the builders could not support this combination.

Hello Shaohua

As you can check on the Beignet page, under the section Supported Targets

3rd Generation Intel Core Processors
Intel "Bay Trail" platforms with Intel HD Graphics
4th Generation Intel Core Processors, need kernel patch currently, see the "Known Issues" section.
5th Generation Intel Core Processors "Broadwell".

The OpenCL SDK has been replaced by the OpenCL Code Builder, that comes with the https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-inde Intel® Integrated Native Developer Experience (Intel® INDE), as you can check on the release notes: https://software.intel.com/file/447641/download https://software.intel.com/file/447641/download (page 3), 4th. Gen. Intel Core is also supported by this software.

The patch for Beignet can be found here: https://01.org/zh/beignet/downloads/linux-kernel-patch-hsw-support Linux kernel patch for HSW support | 01.org

I hope this information is useful to you.

Best Regards,

Adolfo Sanchez
