This article lists the system requirements for Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit. Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit requires Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, please see the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit System Requirements for additional information.
Directory Layout Change
Directory layout is improved across all products to streamline installation and setup.
The Unified Directory Layout is implemented in 2024.0. If you have multiple toolkit versions installed, the Unified layout ensures that your development environment contains the correct component versions for each installed version of the toolkit.
The directory layout used before 2024.0, the Component Directory Layout, is still supported on new and existing installations.
For detailed information about the Unified layout, including how to initialize the environment and advantages with the Unified layout, refer to Use the setvars and oneapi-vars Scripts with Linux and Use the setvars and oneapi-vars Scripts with Windows.

Known Issues
-
RESOLVED Available November 21, 2023. With the 2024.0 release Intel containers for Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit and Intel® HPC Toolkit for Ubuntu 22.04 are currently not available. New builds are expected on the Intel Docker repositories in the coming days. All other distribution images are already available.
-
The environment start up scripts have been migrated to POSIX compliant scripts. For non-POSIX shells, such as csh, there is a workaround for command-line usage for the Component Directory Layout:
% bash -c 'source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh ; exec csh'
For the Unified Directory Layout use
% bash -c 'source <install-dir>/<toolkit-version>/oneapi-vars.sh ; exec csh'
-
Intel® oneAPI Toolkits 2022.1.3 and earlier and Intel® Parallel Studio XE (any version) do not support Microsoft Visual Studio 2022. On systems with Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 installed, Intel® oneAPI and Intel® Parallel Studio XE installers may fail during installation, upgrade, modification, or uninstallation. Refer to this article for more information.
