old version of OneAPI for students

[wu__zhiyi]

I'm a student user who used to enjoy free parallel studio of a specific version of the Intel compiler.

Recently, my yearly licence has expired and I tried to renew my licence. However, it seems that the new OneApi doesn't allow me to choose a specific version of intel compiler. Notably, the current intel compiler will not support CUDA, which is a big problem.

Hi Zhiyi, the current oneAPI compiler version is 2021.1 or 2021.2. If you want to use an older version of the compiler you would require the legacy software of Intel® Parallel Studio XE. Could you specify which version of the compiler you are looking for?

Thank you for the reply.

I used to have the licence for Intel® Parallel Studio but since it is a student licence, it has now expired.

According to the cuda documentation (https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html). The latest intel compiler that is supported is 19.1

Zhiyi, 19.1 is Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2020. However, to install it you would need a license. Since we have stopped generating free licenses anymore since the transition of Intel® Parallel Studio XE to Intel® oneAPI. you would have to purchase a license.
