No "CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU" with Intel HD5600 on CentOS 7

[TTaka12]

Hi,

After installing "SDK for OpenCL Applications Package" and "Driver and library(runtime) packages" into my CentOS 7 according to the page

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/opencl-drivers# latest_linux_driver OpenCL™ Drivers and Runtimes for Intel® Architecture | Intel® Software,

I am testing the driver and SDK.

Actually, I could run a sample "CapsBasic.cpp" obtained at

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/caps-basic OpenCL™ Platform/Device Capabilities Viewer Sample | Intel® Software.

However, the following output shows that GPU is NOT used but CPU is used:

How can I enable the GPU, i.e. Intel HD 5600? What I would like to do is to program my Intel HD5600 (as well as CPU cores) with OpenCL. I do not care about the version of the OpenCL; even 1.2 is okay.

The details of my computer is shown as follows:

% grep -m1 name /proc/cpuinfo

model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz

The above processor is included in the 5th generation Core arch.

% uname -a

Linux localhost.localdomain 4.7.0.intel.r3.1 # 1 SMP Sat Dec 3 23:30:56 JST 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The above kernel was created according to the installation instruction linked at "OpenCL™ 2.0 GPU/CPU driver package for Linux* (64-bit)" in the pagehttps://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/opencl-drivers OpenCL™ Drivers and Runtimes for Intel® Architecture | Intel® Software. I note that, to recognize the kernel by the boot loader (grub), it was necessary to set "Legacy Boot" instead of "Secure Boot" in the BIOS setup.

Let me know if any other information is necessary.

Best regards,

Toru Takahashi

This question has not been resolved yet, but I changed the status to "Assumed Answered" by mistake. The status cannot be modified anymore. (The way to fix the status is another question...) I am still waiting for your comments. Thank you.

Hello Toru_Takahashi:

Let me apologize for any inconvenience, in regard to your inquiry I just wanted to let you know that the support we provide is for Windows, since the Intel products were tested using that operating system, for Linux we do have limited support. Based on that information, the best thing to do will be to access your Linux distro's website and forums for peer assistance with this issue at: http://ubuntuforums.org/ http://ubuntuforums.org/ Additionally, not sure if the problem could be related to this, but the i7-5600U processor works with Intel® HD Graphics 5500 not with Intel® HD Graphics 5600, as you can confirm on the following link: http://ark.intel.com/products/85215/Intel-Core-i7-5600U-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz?q=Intel® Core™ i7-5600U Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.20 GHz) Also as an option you can always submit your inquiry in our developer zone, the peers in there might be able to provide further details about this matter: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forum https://software.intel.com/en-us/forum Any questions, please let me know.
