    Ubuntu Linux Ubuntu releases older than 20.04.03 Ubuntu 20.04.03 (kernel 5.11.0-40-generic #44~20.04.2-ubuntu)*

    Preferred Workaround: Upgrade to a Linux distribution where the defect has been fixed. Note that the software will run, but a warning message will appear in kernel logs.
    GPU software for Ubuntu 20.04.03 is available now via https://dgpu-docs.intel.com. Note that the software will run, but a warning message will appear in kernel logs.
    GPU software for RHEL 8.5. will be available in Q1 2022 at the same location.
    GPU software for SLES15 SP4 will be available shortly after general availability of SLES15 SP4.

    Alternative Workaround: Do not use extensive multi-threading in GPU-enabled applications, i.e. keep the number of threads no more than 2. For example, for applications using the oneAPI MPI library, use the single threaded version of the MPI run-time library, rather than the multi-threaded version. Set the environment variable I_MPI_THREAD_SPLIT=0 to use the single threaded version of MPI.
  6. Known Issue: APT package manager doesn't work for Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit 2022.1 for Linux* OS while installing on Debian* 9 due to a cmake dependency in VPL.
    Workaround: To workaround this issue it is recommended to install individual components.
  7. Known Issue: After installing the oneAPI Base Toolkit 2022.1, compiling applications with Win32 platform settings that require oneMKL and/or Intel Integrated Performance Primitives will fail.  32-bit Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) on Windows* OS are provided separately as part of Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit 32-bit package. It can be downloaded here as an add-on.
  8. Known Issue - The compiler and compiler32 Environment Module scripts (aka modulefiles) require version 4.1 or greater of Environment Modules: the compiler and compiler32 modulefiles fail when used with versions 4.0 and 3.x of the Tcl Modulefiles application. These older versions of the Environment Modules application are usually found on older Linux distributions, such as CentOS 7.x. Type module --version to display the version of Environment Modules that is installed on your system.
    Workarounds: If you only need to configure your environment for use with the Intel C++ Compiler classic (aka ICC) you can use the new icc and icc32 modulefiles. If you need to configure your environment for use with the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler you can source the compiler’s env/vars.sh script. For example, if your oneAPI installation is in the default sudo/root install location: source /opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest/env/vars.sh. You can confirm that the environment was configured by checking the value of the $CMPLR_ROOT environment variable. If you have more then one version of the compiler installed and wish to configure your environment to use an earlier version, change the reference to latest to match the name of the folder that corresponds to the compiler version you wish to use. For example: source /opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2021.3.0/env/vars.sh.

  10. Limitations
    1. Running any GPU code on a Virtual Machine is not supported at this time.
    2. If you have chosen to download the Get Started Guide to use offline, viewing it in Chrome may cause the text to disappear when the browser window is resized. To fix this problem, resize your browser window again, or use a different browser.
    3. Eclipse* 4.12: the code sample project created by IDE plugin from Makefile will not build. It is a known issue with Eclipse 4.12. Please use Eclipse 4.9, 4.10 or 4.11.

  11. Known issue - Linux repositories serving package managers

  12. Known issue for FPGA and GPU regarding libtinfo.so.5 library - clang: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    • When compiling for FPGA or GPU, you might see this error. To work around this issue, you must install the required compatibility library by executing one of the following OS-specific commands:

      • On Ubuntu 20.04: sudo apt install -y libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

      • On RHEL/CentOS 8: sudo yum install ncurses-compat-libs

      • On SUSE 15: sudo zypper install libcurses5 ncurses5-devel

  13. Known issue -  regarding namespace "oneapi" conflicting with older compilers - error: reference to 'tbb' is ambiguous

    • This issue is only found with the following compilers:

      1. GNU* gcc 7.x or older
      2. LLVM* Clang 3.7 or older
      3. Intel® C++ Compiler 19.0 or older
      4. Visual Studio 2017 version 15.6 or older 

    • If your code uses the namespace in the following manner and one of the compilers above, you may get the compilation errors like "error: reference to 'tbb' is ambiguous".

      The "using namespace oneapi;" directive in a oneDPL|oneDNN|oneTBB program code may result in compilation errors with the compilers listed above.

      test_tbb.cpp:

      namespace tbb { int bar(); }
namespace oneapi { namespace tbb = ::tbb; }

using namespace oneapi;
int zoo0() { return tbb::bar(); }

      Compiling: .

      test_tbb.cpp: In function 'int zoo0()':
test_tbb.cpp:5:21: error: reference to 'tbb' is ambiguous
int zoo0() { return tbb::bar(); }

      Workarounds: 

      Instead of the directive "using namespace oneapi;", please use full qualified names or namespace aliases.

      test_tbb_workaround.cpp: 

      namespace tbb { int bar(); }
namespace oneapi { namespace tbb = ::tbb; }

// using namespace oneapi;
int zoo0() { return tbb::bar(); }

      Additional Notes: 

      The "using namespace oneapi;" directive is not recommended right now, as it may result in compilation errors when oneMKL| oneDAL| oneCCL is used with other oneAPI libraries. There're two workarounds:

      • Use the full qualified namespace like above
      • Use namespace alias for oneMKL| oneDAL| oneCCL, e.g. 
        • namespace one[mkl|dal|ccl] = ::oneapi::[mkl|dal|ccl];
onemkl::blas::dgemm( … ); | onedal::train(); | onccl::allgathersv();

  14. Known issue - the installation error on Windows "LoadLibrary failed with error 126: the specified module could not be found" in certain environment only

    • ​Impacted environment: Windows with AMD graphics card

    • Details: 

      When a Windows system has AMD* graphics cards or AMD Radeon Vega* graphics units, the installer of oneAPI Toolkits may report the error "LoadLibrary failed with error 126: the specified module could not be found". This has been reported and is being investigated. Please use the workaround for this release.

    • Workaround:

      Temporarily  disable the Intel® HD Graphics during the installation of oneAPI Toolkits with the steps below:

      Open the Device Manager > Display Adapters; Right click on the listed display (common is the intel integrated graphics accelerator) and select DISABLE.

  15. Known issue - "Debug Error!" from Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    • ​Impacted environment: Windows, "Debug" build only, mixed use of DPC++ & oneAPI libraries (except oneTBB)
    • Details: This error may occur only when the DPC++ program is built in "Debug" configuration and it uses one of the oneAPI libraries that do not have a dynamic debug libraries, e.g. oneVPL; The oneTBB is not impacted by this issue.
    • The error is similar to the following:

      Unable to start program

    • Workaround:
      • Use "Release" configuration to build the program for now.
  16. More limitations on Windows 
    • For users who have a supported version of Visual Studio* installed, the installation of IDE integrations of oneAPI Base Toolkit is very slow. It may take 30+ minutes just for the IDE integrations installation sometimes. Please be extra patient and it will be eventually installed. 
    • If you encounter a runtime error that "... ... sycl.dll was not found. ... ..." or similar like below

      Unable to start program

      when running your program within Visual Studio, please follow the instructions below to update the project property "Debugging > Environment" in order to run the program:
      • Open the project property "Debugging > Environment" property and click right drop-down & select Edit

        Unable to start program

      • Copy and paste the default PATH environment variable value from lower section to the above section.
        This step is very important because of how Visual Studio 2017 or newer handles the additional directory for the "PATH" environment variable.

        Unable to start program

      • Add any additional directories needed by the program for those dll files to the path like below

        Unable to start program

    • Error when running a code sample program within Visual Studio: unable to start program 'xxx.exe"

      Unable to start program


      Please follow the instructions below for the workaround.
      • Open Tools Options dialog, select Debugging tab, and select the check-box of "Automatically close the console when debugging stops". See the dialog image below for details.

        Unable to start program
