This article lists the system requirements for Intel® HPC Toolkit. Intel® HPC Toolkit requires Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, please see the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit System Requirements for additional information.

Hardware Requirements

  • CPU Processor:
    • Intel® Core Processor Family
    • Intel® Xeon® Processor family
    • Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors
  • Accelerators:
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM recommended
  • Disk space: 14GB for all features

Software Requirements

Intel® HPC Toolkit is complemented by Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit.

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.

Intel® oneAPI 2023.2 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, the latest stable release validated with oneAPI 2023.2 release is https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/releases/LTS-release-notes.html#release-2024-12-04.

Known Issues

  • If you installed Intel compilers as part of the oneAPI 2023.2 release of the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, the Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit, the Intel® oneAPI IoT Toolkit, or from the oneAPI Standalone Component page, please install the appropriate patch for your environment. 

    Two patches are now available, one for each of the Intel C++ and Fortran compilers, that were published as part of oneAPI 2023.2:

    * Intel® oneAPI DPC+/C+ Compiler and Intel® C++ Compiler Classic
    * Intel® Fortran Compiler Classic and Intel® Fortran Compiler

    The patch version is 2023.2.1.

    These patches apply only to Linux* and Windows*.

    These patches resolve the issue of missing Environment Modules utility modulefiles and other issues.

    The patches are available on the Intel® Registration Center, other distribution channels, like APT, YUM, and the standalone component page.

  • 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.
