During installation of Intel OpenCL runtime ( opencl_runtime_16.1.1_x64_ubuntu_6.4.0.025.tgz ) on Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit in a virtualized environment of VMware Workstation 12 Player I was notified that there is a missing dependency on lsb-core package. I've terminated installation, installed lsb-core package, rebooted Linux Ubuntu, resumed installation, but the notification about missing lsb-core package was displayed again. I've continued installation and Intel OpenCL runtime was successfully installed. There are a couple of questions: - Could you explain why that dependency on lsb-core package is needed? - It looks like there is a bug in a script of the installer when packages consistency is verified since the message about missing lsb-core package did not disappear even if it was installed before. Could you check it? - Are there any plans to release an updated Intel OpenCL runtime for Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit? Right now the installer informs that only 14.04 version of Linux Ubuntu is supported. Note: opencl_runtime_16.1.1_x64_ubuntu_6.4.0.025.tgz ( CPU devices only ) was used.

I've finally completed OpenCL environment setups on Linux Ubuntu and two platforms, Intel OpenCL and AMD APP SDK, currently displayed by clinfo utility...

Thanks for this info.  Very interesting to see this comparison!

At this time Ubuntu 14.04 is the only validated Ubuntu for this package.  I have not seen any plans or timelines for Ubuntu 16.04 support across the OpenCL SDK, cpu-only runtime, standalone Gen graphics, or Media Server Studio.  Let me check for more info.  I'll post here if there are any updates.

I've verified a couple of tests already and results for a MemoryOptimization test, when Intel OpenCL platform is selected, don't look right. That is, bandwidth numbers are too high:

>>- Could you explain why that dependency on lsb-core package is needed? On another Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS computer I didn't do any 'apt' updates / installs related to lsb-core package and Intel OpenCL runtime ( opencl_runtime_16.1.1_x64_ubuntu_6.4.0.025.tgz ) was successfully installed. So far I don't see any runtime problems with OpenCL test applications that use Intel OpenCL CPU-only platform.
