Install opencl driver for intel card

[dmknght (Nông Hoàng Tú)]

1. Why?

• You machine has no AMD / Nvidia graphic card, but you still want to use hashcat
• You want it more stable and faster than pre-installed driver (beignet)
  
  
• Hashcat doesn’t detect your devices (even beignet was pre-installed)
  
  

2. How?

• Remove beignet: sudo apt purge beignet
• Download opencl_runtime_16.1.2_x64_rh_6.4.0.37.tgz from http://registrationcenter-download.intel.com/akdlm/irc_nas/12556/opencl_runtime_16.1.2_x64_rh_6.4.0.37.tgz. Currently, Intel opencl has github project with 18.X versions. All 18.X versions don’t work for me, and 16.1.2 version is latest workable version I can find.
• Extract downloaded file (tar -xvf opencl_runtime_16.1.2_x64_rh_6.4.0.37.tgz) then run install.sh with root permission. If you have missing libraries in this step (screenshot bellow), you can exit installation and install libraries. If there is only lsb-core>=4.0 is missing, you can move to next step (it worked for me).
• Accept their license, choose next and wait.
  
  
  
  
  
• Hashcat now detect my devices (it shows error with beignet driver)
  
  
• Benchmark is not very fast (compare AMD / Nvidia devices) but it looks faster than beignet

It is so good if you can use intel opencl. My new PC doesn’t have intel onboard graphic card and it has nvidia only. I don’t even try to install nvidia opencl or something because i don’t want to break anything. The funny thing is having nvidia card was a dream.

Hey, can I run davinci resolve with Intel graphic card?
Nb: the graphic card support openCl

Hey, can I run davinci resolve with Intel graphic card?

I afraid you have to ask davinci resolve developers about system requirements

I am running 4.9.1 security and the opencl_runtime_16.1.2_x64 install just won’t install as it did before… do you have a link to 18.1? not mission critical but the speed boost was nice…

How would i go about checking for available upgrades for an Hp device with an intel graphics card onboard?
my guess,is that the OS isn’t monitoring for specific manufacture hardware upgrades as they are released…?

from what i’ve read,my understanding is that is only available if the os was installed inside UEFI,which i’m reading up on now and knew nothing about upon the install of the OS.
so truthfully ,i haven’t a clue whether or not it was…?
