Driver issues troubleshooting

If you see errors like "[CLDNN ERROR]. clGetPlatformIDs error -1001" when running OpenVINO samples / demos, then most likely you have some issues with OpenCL runtime on your machine. This document contains several hints on what to check and how to troubleshoot such kind of issues.

In order to make sure that OpenCL runtime is functional on your machine, you can use clinfo tool. On many linux distributives it can be installed via package manager. If it's not available for your system, it can be easily built from sources.

Example of clinfo output:

Number of platforms                               1
  Platform Name                                   Intel(R) OpenCL HD Graphics
  Platform Vendor                                 Intel(R) Corporation

  ...

  Platform Name                                   Intel(R) OpenCL HD Graphics
Number of devices                                 1
  Device Name                                     Intel(R) Graphics [0x3e92]
  Device Vendor                                   Intel(R) Corporation
  Device Vendor ID                                0x8086
  Device Version                                  OpenCL 3.0 NEO 
  Driver Version                                  20.49.0
  Device OpenCL C Version                         OpenCL C 3.0 
  Device Type                                     GPU

1. Make sure that you have GPU on your system

Some Intel® CPUs might not have integrated GPU, so if you want to run OpenVINO on iGPU, go to https://ark.intel.com/ and make sure that your CPU has it

2. Make sure that OpenCL® Runtime is installed

On Windows OpenCL runtime is a part of the GPU driver, but on linux it should be installed separately. For the installation tips please refer to OpenVINO docs and OpenCL Compute Runtime docs. To get support of Intel® Iris® Xe MAX Graphics with Linux* please follow driver installation guide

3. Make sure that user has all required permissions to work with GPU device

Add the current Linux user to the video group:

sudo usermod -a -G video "$(whoami)"

4. Make sure that iGPU is enabled

$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:02.0/enable
1

5. Make sure that "/etc/OpenCL/vendors/intel.icd" contain proper paths to the OpenCL driver

$ cat /etc/OpenCL/vendors/intel.icd 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/intel-opencl/libigdrcl.so

Note: path to the runtime lib may vary in different driver versions

6. Use LD_DEBUG=libs to trace loaded libraries

7. If you are using dGPU with XMX, ensure that HW_MATMUL feature is recognized

Openvino contains hello_query_device sample application: link

With this option, you can check whether Intel XMX(Xe Matrix Extension) feature is properly recognized or not. This is a hardware feature to accelerate matrix operations and available on some discrete GPUs.

$ ./hello_query_device.py
