Installing Intel OpenCL SDK on ubuntu 14.04

Question

I am trying to install the OpenCL SDK on ubuntu-14.04. The problem is that I can not find the version of this SDK for Linux. All I found is the Windows version https://software.intel.com/en-us/vcsource/tools/opencl-sdk .

Answer 1

You can get the latest version of OpenCL for Ubuntu:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/opencl-drivers

Please note that it contains only RPM packages, so you will have to convert them to DEB through someone else's.

Answer 2

This script worked for me on Ubuntu 14.04 and released the 15.1 OpenCL SDK:

Intel supports RHEL / SLES Linux distributions, so the idea of ​​the script is to convert RPM to DEB. "alien" did not work for me, so the script instead downloads and unpacks the RPM structure, moves things to the DEB structure, reloads it as a DEB file, installs DEB and clears the problem with broken packages that occurs during installation.

Now that OpenCL execution 16.1 is officially available, however, these are all kinds of TOOs. Intel now officially supports Ubuntu, and the download is here .
