The oneAPI Construction Kit is a framework to provide implementations of open standards, such as OpenCL and Vulkan, for a wide range of devices. The oneAPI Construction Kit can be used to build with the oneAPI Toolkit. The oneAPI Toolkit includes support for various open standards, such as OpenMP, SYCL, and DPC++. DPC++ is based on the SYCL programming model, which allows to write single-source C++ code that can target both CPUs and GPUs. To get more information on oneAPI, please visit https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/overview.html.
Note: It is not intended to be used as a standalone OpenCL or Vulkan implementation. It does not support the oneAPI Level Zero API.
For more information about building, implementing and maintaining the oneAPI Construction Kit please take the time to read the developer guide and the other documentation in the
doc directory.
See LICENSE.txt for details about the license for the code base, and external components.
Note: oneAPI Construction Kit was previously referred to as ComputeAorta and referred to as acronym
CA. As a result, references to ComputeAorta or CA may be present in some oneAPI Construction Kit's documentation and code.
This section provides the minimum system requirements for building the oneAPI Construction Kit on Ubuntu 20.04. For Windows platform dependencies and build instructions please refer to the developer guide. There is a blog post demonstrating how to build the kit for a simulated RISC-V target. You can also find the documentation on Codeplay's developer website.
- GCC
- Git
- CMake 3.16+
- Python 3.6.9+
- Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 (for Windows)
To install the dependencies on Ubuntu, open the terminal and run:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y build-essential git cmake libtinfo-dev python3- Ninja
- clang-format 16
- lit
To install the recommended packages, run:
$ sudo apt install -y ninja-build doxygen python3-pip
$ sudo pip3 install lit virtualenv cmakelint clang-format==17.0.6To compile the oneAPI Construction Kit, LLVM needs to be installed and linked against. The build process requires the use of tools from LLVM when the runtime compiler is enabled. The user can either follow the LLVM guide to build a suitable install or follow the without LLVM guide to compile the oneAPI Construction Kit with the runtime compiler disabled.
Examples are provided to get started, but for more control over the compilation process, the user can consult the list of CMake options.
The oneAPI Construction Kit can be compiled for two reference targets; host and refsi (riscv). In SYCL programming, the host target refers to the system where the SYCL program is compiled and executed, while the refsi (Reference System Implementation) target refers to the target platform for which the program is being developed. The refsi target is a hardware-specific implementation of the SYCL specification, enabling the program to run on a specific target platform. SYCL implementations such as DPC++ provide various refsi targets for CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and accelerators, which can be selected during compilation using specific flags and code.
To compile oneAPI Construction Kit for the host, please refer to the developer guide.
This target aims to provide a flexible way of communicating with various customer RISC-V targets with different configurations. It supports multiple variants using an abstract class and can configure targets and execute commands. However, the current version has only been tested on an x86_64 host CPU.
The available targets in the current implementation are based on Codeplay's reference architecture, called RefSi, with two variations: G and M1. The riscv target is designed to support the G variant, while the M1 variant has additional features like DMA. More information on riscv can be found here. To build in-tree, run the following:
cmake -GNinja \
-Bbuild-riscv \
-DCA_RISCV_ENABLED=ON \
-DCA_MUX_TARGETS_TO_ENABLE="riscv" \
-DCA_LLVM_INSTALL_DIR=$LLVMInstall \
-DCA_ENABLE_HOST_IMAGE_SUPPORT=OFF \
-DCA_CL_ENABLE_ICD_LOADER=ON
ninja -C build-riscv installNote: The installed LLVM must have RISCV as an enabled target and build
lldwith-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='clang;lld'.
When cross-compiling with CMake, you need to set the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE variable to tell CMake how to compile for the target architecture. This file sets up various CMake variables, such as the locations of the C and C++ compilers, the assembler, the linker, and the target file system root. By setting these variables correctly, CMake can generate the appropriate build system files for the target platform. More information regarding cross compiling of the oneAPI Construction Kit, can be found here
The official Intel OneAPI Base Toolkit can be obtained by visiting the following link: Intel OneAPI Base Toolkit Download. On this page, specify the operating system, the type of installer needed, and the desired version to access the download options. The initial download is for the installer application files only. The installer will acquire all the tools during the installation process. From the console, locate the downloaded install file.
# To launch the GUI installer as the root
sudo sh ./<installer>.shOr
# To launch the GUI installer as the current user.
sh ./<installer>.shFollow the instructions in the installer. And explore the Get Started Guide to get more information.
For example, for Linux, online installer and version 2023.2.0, follow the instructions below:
wget https://registrationcenter-download.intel.com/akdlm/IRC_NAS/992857b9-624c-45de-9701-f6445d845359/l_BaseKit_p_2023.2.0.49397.sh
sudo sh ./l_BaseKit_p_2023.2.0.49397.shTo acquire the oneAPI-samples, clone it as follows.
git clone https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneAPI-samples.gitNow to compile the vector add from oneAPI samples, set the environment variables and follow the steps given below:
export OCL_ICD_FILENAMES=$ONEAPI_CON_KIT_INSTALL_DIR/lib/libCL.so
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/intel/oneapi/compiler/2023.2.0/linux/lib:/path/to/intel/oneapi/compiler/2023.2.0/linux/compiler/lib/intel64_lin:/path/to/intel/oneapi/compiler/2023.2.0/linux/compiler/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

CA_HAL_DEBUG=1 SYCL_CONFIG_FILE_NAME= ./vector-add-buffersNote: As the release has a whitelist of devices, it filters out RefSi. To override it, as a temporary solution we can point
SYCL_CONFIG_FILE_NAMEto empty space. This way it doesn't set the defaultsycl.conf.
The generated output should be somthing like the following:

Vector add successfully completed on device.To build oneAPI DPC++ follow the commands below:
git clone https://github.com/intel/llvm intel-llvm -b syclNaming the directory "intel-llvm" is optional, but it helps distinguish between intel's llvm and any other llvm repo you may have. You can build anywhere, but an "in-tree" build is recommended
cd intel-llvmThe -o build is the default, but this allows you to name the build directory. Since this creates the build directory relative to the current working directory, so being inside intel-llvm at this point creates an in-tree build.
The easiest way to get started is to use the buildbot configure and compile scripts.
python buildbot/configure.py \
-o build \
--cmake-opt="-DSYCL_BE=opencl" \
--cmake-opt="-DSYCL_TARGET_DEVICES=acc" \
--cmake-opt="-DSYCL_TEST_E2E_TARGETS=opencl:acc" \
--cmake-opt="-DTEST_SUITE_COLLECT_CODE_SIZE=OFF"
# Build. Again, "-o build" is default but this makes it more
# explicit. Relative to current working directory.
python buildbot/compile.py -o buildNote: The instructions differ for the host and riscv. The instructions mentioned above are for
riscvtarget.
The following simple-vector-add sample code serves as an introductory example, similar to a "Hello, World!" program, for data parallel programming using SYCL. It showcases fundamental features of SYCL and demonstrates how to perform vector addition on arrays of integers and float. Furthermore, building and running the simple-vector-add sample code can be used as a verification step to ensure that your development environment is properly configured for oneAPI Toolkit and oneAPI Construction kit.
