Installing both Intel CPU and GPU drivers

[QFang1]

hi forum

I first installed the OpenCL 1.2 Driver (intel-opencl-1.2-devel-1.0-47971.x86_64) for Intel HD graphics on my Ubuntu box (involving patching and installing Linux kernel 4.1), downloaded from the following link

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/opencl-drivers#latest_linux_driver

once the GPU driver is installed, my OpenCL code (https://github.com/fangq/mcxcl) can list and run my simulation on the HD 5500 GPU (speed =1200 photon/ms).

After I succeeded this step, I installed the Intel OpenCL CPU driver (opencl-1.2-sdk-5.0.0.43), with a hope that I can run my code on either device by a switch, or both simultaneously (I use "-G" and a 0-1 mask to select active devices).

However, after both drivers are installed, I no longer be able to run my code on the GPU. 

When I list all available devices (mcxcl -L), I get the following output, there are 3, and 2 devices referred to the same CPU (i7-5600U):

Platform [0] Name Intel(R) OpenCL
devnum=1
============ CPU device ID 1 [1 of 1]: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz  ============
 Compute units   :    4 core(s)
 Global memory   :    8245342208 B
 Local memory    :    32768 B
 Constant memory :    131072 B
 Clock speed     :    2600 MHz
Platform [1] Name Intel(R) OpenCL
devnum=1
============ GPU device ID 2 [1 of 1]: Intel(R) HD Graphics  ============
 Compute units   :    23 core(s)
 Global memory   :    6587885159 B
 Local memory    :    65536 B
 Constant memory :    1646971289 B
 Clock speed     :    950 MHz
devnum=1
============ CPU device ID 3 [1 of 1]: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz  ============
 Compute units   :    4 core(s)
 Global memory   :    8245342208 B
 Local memory    :    32768 B
 Constant memory :    131072 B
 Clock speed     :    2600 MHz

Now, when I run the code on the CPU using -G 100, it runs successfully. However, when I try to run the code on the GPU device (-G 010), I got thousands lines of compilation error that was not the case previously. 

Kernel build error:
In file included from <built-in>:138:
In file included from <command line>:18:
CTHeader.h:127:69: error: unknown type name 'uchar'; did you mean 'char'?
CTHeader.h:127:96: error: unknown type name 'uchar'; did you mean 'char'?
CTHeader.h:129:69: error: unknown type name 'ushort'; did you mean 'short'?
CTHeader.h:129:97: error: unknown type name 'ushort'; did you mean 'short'?
....

when I run the code on the 3rd device (-G 001), I got another error

Kernel build error:
Compilation started
Compilation done
Linking started
Linking done
Device build started
Device build done
Kernel <mcx_main_loop> was successfully vectorized (8)
Done.

MCX ERROR(11):Error: Failed to build program executable! in unit mcx_host.cpp:375

so my question for you all, can I actually use both CPU and GPU drivers together? why my GPU target stopped running after I installed the CPU driver?

any suggestions would be appreciated.

One of our engineers tried the following procedure.  These steps assume Ubuntu 14.04 with no OpenCL IDCs previously installed on the system.  

Ubuntu isn't an officially supported OS.  Source is provided for opensource components so that you can modify in any way you like, but our ability to support is limited.  Neither Ubuntu nor the following method is supported or validated by Intel.  There may be steps missing or details about your system that aren't taken into account.  However, we hope that the information is helpful.
