Can I run Cuda or OpenCl on Intel processor graphics I7 (3rd or 4rd generation)

I'm developing on SBC (which have Intel I7 3ed or 4ed, and doesn't have external GPU) I'm using linux. I want to take the advantage of Intel processor graphics . I thought to learn developing with Cuda or OpenCl. I read some old posts (several years ago) (and I'm not sure there is a better technology now):

Can i run CUDA on Intel

GPU Programming, CUDA or OpenCL

  1. Can I run cuda code on Intel processor graphics ?
  2. Can I run OpenCl code on Intel processor graphics ?
  3. If I can run Cuda & OpenCl code on Intel processor graphics, which is better ?

Can CUDA be used with Intel graphics?

Yes, You Can Run NVIDIA CUDA On Intel GPUs And Libraries For It Have Hit Github. Using a graphics processor or GPU for tasks beyond just rendering 3D graphics is how NVIDIA has made billions in the datacenter space.

Does OpenCL work on Intel integrated graphics?

Intel® Graphics Technology Runtimes Execute OpenCL™ applications on Intel® Processors with Intel® Graphics Technology. Specifically target Intel® HD Graphics, Intel® Iris® Graphics, and Intel® Iris® Pro Graphics if available on Intel® Processors.

Does Intel HD Graphics 4000 support OpenCL?

A few things: (1) The Intel HD Graphics 4000 is supported by the macOS OpenCL implementation, so if it's not showing up in your device enumeration, you've got a problem with your code right there.

Does CUDA work with Intel Iris?

Yes, you can, because OpenCL is supported by MacOS natively.

Does Intel HD graphics support CUDA or OpenCL?

Intel HD Graphics is usually the on-CPU graphics chip in newer Core i3/i5/i7 processors. As far as I know it doesn't support CUDA (which is a proprietary NVidia technology), but OpenCL is supported by NVidia, ATi and Intel. Show activity on this post. in 2020 ZLUDA was created which provides CUDA API for Intel GPUs.

Can I run CUDA on Intel GPU/CPU?

As @Robert Crovella said you cannot run CUDA on Intel GPU/CPU. Where it comes to OpenCL you have few choices: I cannot say which one will be best for Intel GPU on Linux. I think Beignet was first to support Intel GPU then official Intel drivers appeared.

Is there an OpenCL SDK available for Intel processors?

(There is an Intel OpenCL SDK available, but, at the present time, it does not give you access to the GPU.) Newest Intel processors (Sandy Bridge) have a GPU integrated into the CPU core.

What is the difference between OpenCL and CUDA?

OpenCL programs are designed to be compiled at run time, so applications that use OpenCL can be ported between different host devices. OpenCL is not just for GPUs (like CUDA) but also for CPUs, FPGAs… In addition, OpenCL was developed by multiple companies, as opposed to NVIDIA’s CUDA. CUDA vs OpenCL: What’s the Difference?

As @Robert Crovella said you cannot run CUDA on Intel GPU/CPU. Where it comes to OpenCL you have few choices:

  1. Intel OpenCL Driver for Intel GPU and CPU
  2. Open Source Beignet for Intel GPU
  3. AMD APP SDK which can be run on Intel CPU

I cannot say which one will be best for Intel GPU on Linux. I think Beignet was first to support Intel GPU then official Intel drivers appeared. For Intel CPU on Linux I use AMD APP SDK.
