Configurations for Intel® Processor Graphics (GPU) with OpenVINO™

To use the OpenVINO™ GPU plugin and offload inference to Intel® Processor Graphics (GPU), Intel® Graphics Driver must be properly configured on your system.

If Intel® Graphics Driver is already installed and you would like to keep it, you can skip the installation steps below.

Linux

To install the latest available Intel® Graphics Compute Runtime for oneAPI Level Zero and OpenCL™ Driver for your operating system, see its installation guide on GitHub.

Note

If you are using RedHat 8, you can install the OpenCL library as a prerequisite by using the following command: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/ocl-icd-2.2.12-1.el8.x86_64.rpm

You may consider installing one of the earlier versions of the driver, based on your particular setup needs.

For instructions and recommendations on the installation of a specific GPU driver release, as well as the list of supported hardware platforms, refer to the Intel® Graphics Compute Runtime for oneAPI Level Zero and OpenCL™ Driver GitHub home page.

For instructions specific to discrete graphics platforms, refer to the dgpu guide, including installation guides for Intel® Arc™ A-Series Graphics, Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series, Intel® Data Center GPU MAX Series, Intel® processor graphics Gen12, and Intel® Iris Xe MAX codename DG1.
