GPU not found on a Joule module

[Javier_C_1]

Hi,

I tried several sample OpenCL programs and none of them found the GPU on my Joule module. I am running an Ubuntu Linux distribution and I installed the Intel SDK which I use to compile those samples. They all find the CPU but not the GPU. This is just the result of one of them (I got it from a GitHub post about installing the OpenCL SDK for Linux: https://gist.github.com/rmcgibbo/6314452)

TEST PASSED

Why did it not find the GPU? Thanks a lot!

Which driver do you have installed?  The latest version (Intel intel-opencl-r3.0 (SRB3) Linux driver package) has patches for the 4.7 kernel.  This is probably your best place to start.

I just downloaded and installed the latest Intel SDK for Ubuntu available on the Intel downloads centre (the file name is intel_sdk_for_opencl_2016_ubuntu_6.3.0.1904_x64.tgz). I have been reading the results I posted here and I wonder if that latest version supports GPUs. The first line seems to specify it does not: CL_PLATFORM_NAME: Experimental OpenCL 2.1 CPU Only PlatformCould that be the problem? How could I solve it?

I just downloaded the file you told me and I got the .tar files from the .xz files but I do not know what to do next... where should I extract them? Should I just extract them in "/"?

Thanks a lot for your help
