Intel Acceleration Stack Version 2.0 Release Date

[HRZ]

Is there any planned release date or rough ETA for when Intel Acceleration Stack Version 2.0 for the PAC S10 board will be released? I would like to evaluate the OpenCL BSP of the PAC S10 board before deciding whether to buy this board, or Stratix 10 boards from third-party vendors who already have working OpenCL BSPs.

@FJumaah​ That link leads to a confidential space on Intel's website that requires an NDA or employee account to access. I cannot access the link.

Hello,

I will check with our admin regarding this.

Thanks

Hello,

You need to create an account and request access. This release is still controlled.

Thanks

@FJumaah​ I do not want to test the non-Production release of the stack. I just would like to know if there is any ETA for when the final public version of the stack will be released. In fact, I am not even interested in the whole stack, just the OpenCL BSP. If Intel cannot even [roughly] determine when they will be able to release a stable OpenCL BSP for their board, that pretty much answers my question.

Hi,

Intel plans to release Intel Acceleration Stack 2.0 with security feature Production Version in mid-Q4'19. I hope it helps.

Thanks

Okay, thank you for the information.

HRZ, the Intel Acceleration Stack v2.0 for the D5005 accelerator card is available now for download from intel.com. This included OpenCL support.

That is good to hear; however, there is still no public access which changes nothing for me.
