GPU device on intel cloud

[leilag]

I am developing my code on intel cloud. I was wondering what GPU device I should expect to see. The only device that I get to work with is "Intel Xeon Processor (Skylake, IBRS)" and I don't know if it's a GPU! How can I make sure whether I am actually working with GPU or not? Thanks.

Hello Leonardo,

Thank you for your response. I'll try my best to answer the questions you asked me.

1- What is the end purpose of the code that you are working on?

I have started learning DPC++ and I am trying to do some experiments with a very simple vector addition code I have written.

2- What is the system or environment that you are using for the project?

I would like to run the code on CPUs and GPUs of Intel DevCloud for oneAPI .  (Sorry if I have posted my question in a wrong place)

3- Are you looking to identify the GPU on a specific processor?

After posting this question, I found and followed this page  to launch my code to an interactive session.

Here is what I did:

- Compiled my code on the login node (I the compilation on the compute node but that didn't work)

- Created a job script like:

#!/bin/bash
source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

export SYCL_DEVICE_FILTER=gpu
./buffer

- Submitted the job:

qsub -l nodes=1:gen9:ppn=2 -d . job_buffer.sh

But the output files show that the executable is not found.

4- Can you share with us the reference link where you are seeing this device?

 Intel DevCloud for oneAPI 

Thank you,

Just wanted to update that I was able to run my code with the same procedure. I am not sure what the problem was! Thank you for your response!
