Get Started with the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit for Windows*

The Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit (Base Kit) is a core set of tools and libraries for developing high-performance, data-centric applications across diverse architectures. It features an industry-leading C++ compiler with SYCL* support for heterogeneous computing.

Before you begin, make sure that the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit is installed on your system. If not, visit the Intel® oneAPI Toolkits page for installation instructions.

Follow these steps to run a sample project:

  1. Configure your system. Depending on your development environment and hardware, some additional configurations may be required, such as GPU drivers, CMake, or Visual Studio plugins.
  2. Build and run a sample using one of the following methods:

After running a sample, learn moreabout the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit (Base Kit) in the Next Steps section.

You can download smaller bundles for specific developer use cases:
