Common Software Requirements

Operating System Requirements

The operating systems listed below are supported on Intel® 64 Architecture. Individual tools may support additional operating systems and architecture configurations. See the individual tool release notes for full details.

For developing applications for offloading to accelerators like GPU or FPGA, a specific version of GPU driver is required for the supported operating system. Please visit Installation Guide for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits "Install Intel GPU Drivers" section for up to date information.

Intel® oneAPI 2023.1 is validated on Windows and Linux for the following driver versions

  • Windows Intel® Graphics Driver
    To install the driver follow the directions in the article appropriate for your device
      •  
    • Intel® Arc™ Graphics, 11th-13th Gen Intel® Core™ processor directions.
    • Xe Dedicated, 6th-10th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor Graphics, and related Intel Atom®, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors directions. Driver version varies depending on the Intel Graphics in the system.
    • Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series (ATS-M). Contact your OEM representative for access to the Intel Registration Center.
  • Linux General Purpose Intel GPUs (GPGPU) Driver
    For all Intel GPUs, see this article, https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/ for the latest stable release and follow the directions for your device.

Note: These OS distributions are tested by Intel or known to work; other distributions may or may not work and are not recommended. If you have questions, access the Intel Community Forums when you need assistance.  If you have Commercial Support, create a support ticket.

For Linux*

  • GNU* Bash is required for local installation and for setting up the environment to use the toolkit.
For CPU Host/Target Support

Please follow the instructions on how to install the driver

Intel® oneAPI tools support for integrated graphics processors is available on 11th Generation and newer Intel® Core™ Processors. Active support for older integrated graphics processors included with 6th through 10th Generation Intel Core Processors and related Intel Atom®, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors will no longer be available starting with the Intel oneAPI 2023.1 release.


For Windows*

For CPU Support

OS (for CPU) Supported Components
Windows* Pro & Enterprise 10, 11 All except oneCCL
Windows Server 2019*, 2022* All except oneCCL

 

For GPU Accelerator Support for iGPU

OS (for GPU) Supported Components
Windows* 10, 11 All except oneCCL & oneTBB
Windows Server 2019*, 2022* All except oneCCL & oneTBB

 

Intel® oneAPI tools support for integrated graphics processors is available on 11th Generation and newer Intel® Core™ Processors. Active support for older integrated graphics processors included with 6th through 10th Generation Intel Core Processors and related Intel Atom®, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors will no longer be available starting with the Intel oneAPI 2023.1 release.

For macOS*

for CPU only Supported Components

macOS* 12, 13

  • Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives
  • Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives Cryptography
  • Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
  • Intel® oneAPI Data Analytics Library
  • Intel® oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library
  • Intel® oneAPI Threading Building Blocks
  • Intel® Advisor (viewer only)
  • Intel® VTune™ Profiler (viewer only)

 

Note: 
- macOS* support for Mac* computers with Intel® Processors.
- Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit for macOS on x86 is now deprecated and will be discontinued in the 2024.0 release.  Several Intel-led open source developer tool projects will continue supporting macOS on Apple Silicon including oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB) and Intel® Implicit SPMD Program Compiler and we welcome the opportunity to work with contributors to expand support to additional tools in the future.

 

Development Tools

Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits

The Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits is designed to diagnose the system status for using Intel® products. With this utility, you can identify errors such as:

  • Permissions errors for the current user
  • Missing driver or an incompatible version of a driver
  • Incompatible version of the Operating System

To learn more, see the Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits User Guide.

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Extensions for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits

The VS Code extensions for oneAPI Toolkits provide assistance to developers who are creating, debugging and profiling oneAPI applications. The Using Visual Studio Code with Intel® oneAPI Toolkits User Guide provides additional detail.
The following VS Code extensions are available in the VS Code marketplace:

  • Sample Browser for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
  • Environment Configurator for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
  • Analysis Configurator for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
  • GDB GPU Support for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
  • DevCloud Connector for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits

See also:

Eclipse*

Microsoft Visual Studio*

  • Microsoft Visual Studio* 2019 or 2022 Community, Enterprise and Professional Editions with 'Desktop development with C++' component installed

oneAPI Toolkits on Microsoft* Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2)

Known Issues

  • Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit online and offline installer fails to install on Microsoft* Windows* 11 Enterprise when Intel® Distribution for Python* is selected for install with the Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit.

    Workaround: Install Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit using the online or offline installer and select Custom Installation and de-select Intel Distribution for Python. If you need Intel Distribution for Python, install that with Anaconda using directions here.

  • When installing on Rocky Linux using the YUM repository or the binary package, the installer prints an unsupported OS warning message.  That can be safely ignored for this release.

System Requirements of All Included Tools

One common requirements for Linux*: GNU* Bash is required for local installation and for setting up the environment to use the toolkit.

For new features or known issues, please read the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit Release Notes.
