Ahead of the next Intel Compute Runtime oneAPI/OpenCL release, a new version of the Intel Graphics Compiler “IGC” has been released for Windows and Linux.
The Intel Graphics Compiler 2.16 release introduces a new “intel-igc-core-devel” Package to restore providing files that were dropped in older versions of this compiler.
The most notable change though with IGC 2.16 is fixing PyTorch inference accuracy errors that appear when trying to use PyTorch on the newest Intel Battlemage graphics processors.
Not mentioned in the release announcement but the IGC 2.16 release also adds support for the BMG-G31 higher-end GPU as well as having initial support for Intel Wildcat Lake “WCL” graphics.
Downloads and more details on the updated Intel Graphics Compiler that is critical to their GPU compute stack can be found via GitHub.
