Clinfo support for Rocky 8 linux

[Edvinas3113]

Hi, I was looking at the requirements and started wondering whether opencl is supported on Rocky 8 linux. I tried to install clinfo on my machine using "dnf install clinfo" and started to get  this:

And it basically crashed, because I had to kill the command. I attached the system requirements I am referring to down below. My main question is whether there is a support for rocky 8 ?

Hi，

​Sorry to say that rocky 8 is not supported in OpenCL CPU RT.

Thanks

[Edvinas3113]

Are there any plans to support it in the nearest future?

[cw_intel]

Hi,

Sorry for the wrong information. I checked with our related team again, Rocky8 should work.

Checked your the output of "clinfo", the version you used is a bit old (Driver Version 18.1.0.0920). And the latest version is 2023.15.3.0.20_160000. Can you install the latest version and check if it can work successfully on your machine?

Please take one of the following methods to install the latest Intel CPU Runtime for OpenCL™ Applications. 

• Download and install Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit which includes the OpenCL CPU Runtime (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/base-toolkit-download.html). Please Note: if you finish the installation and run clinfo, but clinfo can not work successfully, you can use command "source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh" to setup the oneapi environment, then run 'clinfo' command.

• Or you can install a standalone package for Intel OpenCL CPU Runtime. Please follow the instructions on Install Using Package Managers(https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/oneapi/installation-guide-linux/2023-0/install-using-package-managers.html#GUID-4260DDA2-66FD-4D78-A272-23E49F5E1E24) to setup repository and install the package "intel-oneapi-runtime-opencl"

Please let me know if the latest version can work on your machine.

Thanks.

Hu, it looks like we managed to make it work. Thanks!

[cw_intel]

Glad to know that you managed to make it work. As your issue is resolved we will no longer monitor this thread. Please post a new thread if you have any other issues.

Thanks.
