OpenCL error clCreateContext(): CL_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

[Cordella__Alessandro]

I installed the latest OpenCL version (Intel® CPU Runtime for OpenCL™ Applications 18.1 for Linux* OS (64bit only)) on a Ubuntu 16 virtual machine.

I run a program (in this case Hashcat) and I get this errror:

hashcat (v5.1.0) starting...

clCreateContext(): CL_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

I am using an Intel i5 3470 CPU.

What is the meaming of that error? How can I fix it?

Based on the output you provided, I am assuming you are running the code in full virtualization mode using QEMU, which provide a CPU-emulation layer. In this case, Intel OpenCL Runtime is unable to execute the OpenCL kernel on the "Common KVM processor", because the runtime is looking for Intel CPU.

Dear Andrey,

I get a similar issue. Where would you recommend to look for an appropriate OpenCL CPU driver for QEMU KVM, Ubuntu 18? Is it possible at all?

Thank you.

Danylo.
