Intel® SoC Watch for oneAPI System Requirements

Introduction

This document provides the information on the system requirements for Intel® SoC Watch for oneAPI. Intel SoC Watch is available in Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit as a part of Intel® VTune™ Profiler.

Version History

Supported Target Operating Systems

Intel® oneAPI 2022.3 is validated on Windows and Linux.

• Windows Intel® Graphics Driver, see this article for instructions to download and install.
• Linux General Purpose Intel GPUs (GPGPU) Driver, see this article. Click the one labeled 20220830 for instructions to download and install.

Support for macOS 10 is deprecated. oneAPI 2022.1 is the last supported release.

Linux Target

• Linux Kernel version needs to be 2.6.32 or later.
• GNU C Library version must be GLIBC_2.17 or later.
• KERNEL_CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS must be enabled.
• Kernel should be compiled with "CONFIG_MODULES" enabled.

P States

• Kernel config CONFIG_X86_SFI_CPUFREQ or CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ must be enabled (i.e. set
  to 'y' or 'm').
• One of these pstate drivers must be utilized: sfi-cpufreq, acpi-cpufreq, or intel_pstate. To determine which driver is loaded, check the sysfs /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver file.
• If one of these pstate drivers is not loaded, the kernel needs to be reconfigured and recompiled.

C States

• Kernel config CONFIG_TIMER_STATS must be enabled.
• Kernel config CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE must be enabled and the intel_idle kernel module has to support the core of the target platform.
• To determine if the intel_idle kernel module is loaded, check the sysfs /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_driver file. It must equal intel_idle. If it equals acpi_idle, only C0 and C1 will be usedby the core.

Windows Target

• Windows* 10, 11
• Using Microsoft’s Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) in Windows 10 and Windows 11, you can install the native Linux distribution of Intel oneAPI toolkits and libraries on Windows for CPU and GPU workflows. Details here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/use-oneapi-toolkits-on-wsl-2.html

Other Targets

• Chrome OS*, macOS*, Android*, QNX*

Supported Target Hardware Platforms

• (Deprecated)Intel® Pentium® Processor J/N Series
• (Deprecated)Intel® Celeron® Processor J/N Series
• 5th/6th/7th/8th/9th/10th Generation Intel® Core™ i3/5/7 Processors
• 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors with Intel® C620 Series Chipsets
• Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors with Intel® C620 Series Chipsets
• Intel® Arc™ Graphics

Known Issue

1. Intel® oneAPI Toolkits 2022.1.3 and earlier and Intel® Parallel Studio XE (any version) do not support Microsoft Visual Studio 2022. On systems with Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 installed, Intel® oneAPI and Intel® Parallel Studio XE installers may fail during installation, upgrade, modification, or uninstallation. Refer to this article for more information.
2. YUM/DNF and ZYPPER Packages oneAPI 2021.1 Gold (Initial Release) issue will Prevent Upgrades
