Installation procedure on Ubuntu 26.04

If you are using legacy platform, follow latest 24.35 release procedure instead the one below.

1. Create temporary directory

Example:

mkdir neo

1. Download all *.deb packages

Example:

cd neo
wget https://github.com/intel/intel-graphics-compiler/releases/download/v2.42.6/intel-igc-core-2_2.42.6+23070_amd64.deb
wget https://github.com/intel/intel-graphics-compiler/releases/download/v2.42.6/intel-igc-opencl-2_2.42.6+23070_amd64.deb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/26.40.40196.8/intel-ocloc-dbgsym_26.40.40196.8-0_amd64.ddeb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/26.40.40196.8/intel-ocloc_26.40.40196.8-0_amd64.deb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/26.40.40196.8/intel-opencl-icd-dbgsym_26.40.40196.8-0_amd64.ddeb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/26.40.40196.8/intel-opencl-icd_26.40.40196.8-0_amd64.deb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/26.40.40196.8/libigdgmm12_22.10.2_amd64.deb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/26.40.40196.8/libze-intel-gpu1-dbgsym_26.40.40196.8-0_amd64.ddeb
wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/26.40.40196.8/libze-intel-gpu1_26.40.40196.8-0_amd64.deb

1. Verify sha256 sums for packages

Example:

wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/26.40.40196.8/ww40.sum
sha256sum -c ww40.sum

1. Install all packages as root

Example:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

In case of installation problems, please install required dependencies, for example:

sudo apt install ocl-icd-libopencl1

sha256 sums for packages

SHA256 checksums for all packages in this release are provided in the ww40.sum asset

Quality expectations

For legacy platforms not included in this table, see more information.

All platforms were validated on Linux Ubuntu 26.04 x64 with stock kernel 7.0.0-14-generic.

WSL support was tested for all platforms with Windows host driver 101.9030, unless noted otherwise.

• DG1, Tiger Lake, Raptor Lake & Alder Lake were tested using 11th - 14th Gen specific host driver 101.7088.

Quality levels

• Early support - no quality expectations
• Pre-Release - suitable for integration and testing, gathering customer feedback
• Production - meets API-specific conformance requirements; suitable for production
• Maintenance - Reduced test frequency compared to Production, no longer recommended for new deployments. Reactive support for customers.

Additional information

• packages were built with custom flags NEO_ENABLE_I915_PRELIM_DETECTION=1

Known limitations

• On NVL, OpenCL requires the libze-intel-gpu1 package (Level Zero) to be installed as well. Without it, or with a version older than 26.35.39758.10, no OpenCL platform is reported. Install both packages from this release, or set EnableLEO=0 to use the native OpenCL implementation.
