topic Hi in OpenCL* for CPU

Installing on Debian Testing

li__dandan — Wed, 17 Jan 2018 21:33:22 GMT

I ran "./install.sh install" as https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/sdk-for-opencl-gsg instructed, but I get this error:

Intel Graphics Driver Installer for OpenCL on CentOS

Running on Generic distribution

The installer will download (unless they already exist):
* OpenCL user-mode driver (87MiB)
* Linux 4.7 kernel (66MiB)

Setup requires ~10GiB disk space, and takes ~1h on a 4-cores machine.
(~8.9GiB for building the Linux kernel, ~1GiB for other files)

Do you want to continue? [y/n] y

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

File to patch:

What should I enter at "FIle to patch"? As I realized, it said "Intel Graphics Driver Installer for OpenCL on CentOS", but I'm running on Debian, which is similar enough to Ubuntu. How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Even I am also facing the same issue as li, dandan . How can I fix this?

Thanks

Hello AdityaS and DandanL,

Hello AdityaS and DandanL,

Thanks for sharing your setup experience.

Per guidance on the driver page, Debian/Ubuntu distros are not supported for the SRB5.0 release however they are expected to function... *Edit Certain Ubuntu versions are expected to function... see the SRB5.0 setup page for details... other Debian distros are not validated* the example script attempts to walk through the steps to patch and install 4.7 kernel as well as delpoy the SRB5.0 runtime. You could consider performing the steps manually. Please see the pdf here and consider walking through the install steps manually:

See http://registrationcenter-download.intel.com/akdlm/irc_nas/11396/SRB5.0_intel-opencl-installation.pdf

Linked from here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/opencl-drivers

Best starting guesses for your error: ensure you have consistent permissions for where scripts read/write from/to... also I'll recommend starting by wiping all previous temp assets and tarballs that may have been left over situated by an earlier run.

Note: If you try a linux 4.8 kernel or greater, you may not need to perform any kernel patching. See Ubuntu 16.04.2 OS with vanilla 4.8 Kernel in the above pdf link. This may be easier.

Lastly, consider using the "NEO" driver located here, which doesn't imply kernel patches as part of it's setup procedure. This may be easiest.:
