sarya3 · ‎04-22-2020

I am trying to install CPU runtime for OpenCL in Kali Linux.

model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30GHz

I got some warning about the unsupported os but installation is completed. But when I ran a command,

-> cliinfo

The result is displayed but the the command does not exit.

And another main this thing is when I use it with hashcat I am getting this error,

hashcat -I

hashcat (v5.1.0-1778-gc5d2d539) starting...

clCreateContext(): CL_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

I am not sure, If my hardware is incompatible or Its OS problem.

Another package pocl-opencl-icd does work.

Thank You

You are using 18.1=NEO which supports Broadwell and beyond

Try the "deprecated releases"

Hi Stefan,

I have downloaded the files from there. But there is a note that says this,

12 Aug 2019: This listing is posted for archival purposes only. Version 16.1.2 and earlier runtimes are deprecated and unavailable. Please consider using version 18.1 or newer on supported platforms.

So every link in their redirect me to 18.1 version.

Yes 😁

If someone could only say it is not supported then I would have stop looking.

Hello sarya3,

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.

The interactive technical support for Intel® HD Graphics 3000 has been discontinued, the support is self-support.

Intel customer support won't answer further questions, hopefully, other peers can help you in this community.
