  • How to Install OpenCL for Intel GPU on Fedora 40+


    OpenCL is an open-source library for running compute tasks on GPUs. OpenCL enables 3D hardware acceleration for supported applications (i.e. LibreOffice) using the GPU hardware (i.e. Intel iGPU) you have installed on your computer. So, unless OpenCL is installed, OpenCL-supported applications (i.e. LibreOffice) will not have hardware acceleration enabled and may not perform well (i.e. UI might be laggy) as a result. So, it’s a good idea to install OpenCL on your newly installed Fedora 40 (or later) desktop operating system.

    In this article, I am going to show you how to install OpenCL for your Intel iGPU on Fedora 40 (or later).

    Updating DNF Package Repository Cache on Fedora

    To update the DNF package repository cache on Fedora 40 (and future versions), run the following command:

    $ sudo dnf makecache






    Installing OpenCL for Intel GPU on Fedora

    To install OpenCL libraries for Intel GPUs, run the following command:

    $ sudo dnf install intel-compute-runtime intel-opencl




    To confirm the installation, press Y and then press .





    OpenCL for Intel GPU is being installed. It will take a few seconds to complete.





    OpenCL libraries for Intel GPU should be installed on your Fedora system.





    For the changes to take effect, restart your computer with the following command:

    $ sudo reboot




    Checking if OpenCL is Working on Fedora

    To check if OpenCL is working on your Fedora system, run the command below:

    $ clinfo -l




    If OpenCL is working, your Intel GPU should be listed as an OpenCL device as shown in the screenshot below.





    Conclusion

    In this article, I have shown you how to install OpenCL for Intel GPU on your Fedora 40 (or later) operating system so that OpenCL-supported applications can perform better using OpenCL hardware acceleration on Fedora.

      by Kasimba
      As Linux enthusiasts, we all come across bash scripting as an essential part of the Linux system. However, many Linux users don’t know why the first line of the bash script contains #!. So this combination of # and ! is called shebang or shebang.
      Although shebang looks like a bash script header, it initially instructs the system about interpreters to execute the script. This concept feels a bit complicated, but that’s not true, as this guide is all about the shebang: bash script header....

    • Bash Script Loops Examples
      by Kasimba
      A loop in programming is a control structure that allows a specific code to be executed repeatedly until a condition is met. This process is repeated until no further action is required. Loop allows you to repeat the desired set of instructions numerous times to attain the desired outcome. These recursions can be useful for all tasks that require repetitive operations or when working with data collections.
      In this article, we will explore the meaning, types, and examples of loops, further...
