Installation procedure on Ubuntu 18.04

1. Create temporary directory

Example:

mkdir neo

1. Download all *.deb packages

Example:

cd neo
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/20.12.16259/intel-gmmlib_19.4.1_amd64.deb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/20.12.16259/intel-igc-core_1.0.3586_amd64.deb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/20.12.16259/intel-igc-opencl_1.0.3586_amd64.deb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/20.12.16259/intel-opencl_20.12.16259_amd64.deb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/20.12.16259/intel-ocloc_20.12.16259_amd64.deb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/20.12.16259/intel-level-zero-gpu_0.8.16259_amd64.deb

1. Verify sha256 sums for packages

Example:

wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/20.12.16259/ww12.sum
sha256sum -c ww12.sum

1. Install all packages as root

Example:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Quality expectations

Unless noted otherwise, the driver was validated on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with stock kernel.
For ICL and TGL platforms kernels from drm-tip repository were used:

• ICL: 5.5.0-rc5 commit b57ea8cadecd3444690439b4703d964afca476e1 2020-01-09_08-56-21 drm-tip: 2020y-01m-09d-08h-55m-33s UTC integration manifest
• TGL: 5.5.0-rc1 commit 7d2f0517f7b15f3631388d72fafae167d75016ec 2019-12-13_23-07-14 drm-tip: 2019y-12m-13d-23h-06m-51s UTC integration manifest

Quality levels

• Experimental - no quality expectations
• Early support - platform may not be available on the market yet
• Pre-Release - suitable for integration and testing, gathering customer feedback
• Beta - suitable for integration and broad testing
• Production - Beta + meets API-specific conformance requirements; suitable for production

Issues & regressions of note

• For ICL platform i915.alpha_support=1 kernel parameter is required for kernel before 5.2
• Although intel-level-zero-gpu library can be compiled with headers from L0 loader v0.91, newer L0 loader is required to use this library.

Important changes

• Updated IGC and opencl-clang
• Set Level Zero version to 0.8.0
• Added intel-level-zero-gpu package
