## Background
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**SYCL** is a high-level parallel programming model designed to improve developers productivity writing code across various hardware accelerators such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. It is a single-source language designed for heterogeneous computing and based on standard C++17.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**oneAPI** is an open ecosystem and a standard-based specification, supporting multiple architectures including but not limited to intel CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs. The key components of the oneAPI ecosystem include:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **DPCPP** *(Data Parallel C++)*: The primary oneAPI SYCL implementation, which includes the icpx/icx Compilers.
 | 
						|
- **oneAPI Libraries**: A set of highly optimized libraries targeting multiple domains *(e.g. oneMKL and oneDNN)*.
 | 
						|
- **oneAPI LevelZero**: A high performance low level interface for fine-grained control over intel iGPUs and dGPUs.
 | 
						|
- **Nvidia & AMD Plugins**: These are plugins extending oneAPI's DPCPP support to SYCL on Nvidia and AMD GPU targets.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Llama.cpp + SYCL
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The llama.cpp SYCL backend is designed to support **Intel GPU** firstly. Based on the cross-platform feature of SYCL, it also supports other vendor GPUs: Nvidia and AMD.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Recommended Release
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The SYCL backend would be broken by some PRs due to no online CI.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following release is verified with good quality:

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*Notes:*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **Memory**
 | 
						|
  - The device memory is a limitation when running a large model. The loaded model size, *`llm_load_tensors: buffer_size`*, is displayed in the log when running `./bin/llama-cli`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  - Please make sure the GPU shared memory from the host is large enough to account for the model's size. For e.g. the *llama-2-7b.Q4_0* requires at least 8.0GB for integrated GPU and 4.0GB for discrete GPU.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **Execution Unit (EU)**
 | 
						|
  - If the iGPU has less than 80 EUs, the inference speed will likely be too slow for practical use.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Other Vendor GPU
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Verified devices**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
| Nvidia GPU               | Status    | Verified Model |
 | 
						|
|--------------------------|-----------|----------------|
 | 
						|
| Ampere Series            | Supported | A100, A4000    |
 | 
						|
| Ampere Series *(Mobile)* | Supported | RTX 40 Series  |
 |

| Radeon Pro               | Experimental | W6800          |
 | 
						|
| Radeon RX                | Experimental | 6700 XT        |
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note: AMD GPU support is highly experimental and is incompatible with F16.
 | 
						|
Additionally, it only supports GPUs with a sub_group_size (warp size) of 32.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Docker
 | 
						|
The docker build option is currently limited to *intel GPU* targets.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Build image
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
# Using FP16
 | 
						|
docker build -t llama-cpp-sycl --build-arg="GGML_SYCL_F16=ON" --target light -f .devops/intel.Dockerfile .
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*Notes*:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To build in default FP32 *(Slower than FP16 alternative)*, you can remove the `--build-arg="GGML_SYCL_F16=ON"` argument from the previous command.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can also use the `.devops/llama-server-intel.Dockerfile`, which builds the *"server"* alternative.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Run container
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
# First, find all the DRI cards
 | 
						|
ls -la /dev/dri
 | 
						|
# Then, pick the card that you want to use (here for e.g. /dev/dri/card1).
 | 
						|
docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/app:Z" --device /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128 --device /dev/dri/card1:/dev/dri/card1 llama-cpp-sycl -m "/app/models/YOUR_MODEL_FILE" -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 400 -e -ngl 33
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*Notes:*
 | 
						|
- Docker has been tested successfully on native Linux. WSL support has not been verified yet.
 | 
						|
- You may need to install Intel GPU driver on the **host** machine *(Please refer to the [Linux configuration](#linux) for details)*.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Linux
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### I. Setup Environment
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. **Install GPU drivers**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  - **Intel GPU**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Intel data center GPUs drivers installation guide and download page can be found here: [Get intel dGPU Drivers](https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/driver/installation.html#ubuntu-install-steps).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*Note*: for client GPUs *(iGPU & Arc A-Series)*, please refer to the [client iGPU driver installation](https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/driver/client/overview.html).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Once installed, add the user(s) to the `video` and `render` groups.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
sudo usermod -aG render $USER
 | 
						|
sudo usermod -aG video $USER
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*Note*: logout/re-login for the changes to take effect.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Verify installation through `clinfo`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
sudo apt install clinfo
 | 
						|
sudo clinfo -l
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Sample output:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
Platform #0: Intel(R) OpenCL Graphics
 | 
						|
 `-- Device #0: Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Platform #0: Intel(R) OpenCL HD Graphics
 | 
						|
 `-- Device #0: Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics [0x9a49]
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **Nvidia GPU**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In order to target Nvidia GPUs through SYCL, please make sure the CUDA/CUBLAS native requirements *-found [here](README.md#cuda)-* are installed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **AMD GPU**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To target AMD GPUs with SYCL, the ROCm stack must be installed first.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2. **Install Intel® oneAPI Base toolkit**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **For Intel GPU**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The base toolkit can be obtained from the official [Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/base-toolkit.html) page.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please follow the instructions for downloading and installing the Toolkit for Linux, and preferably keep the default installation values unchanged, notably the installation path *(`/opt/intel/oneapi` by default)*.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Following guidelines/code snippets assume the default installation values. Otherwise, please make sure the necessary changes are reflected where applicable.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Upon a successful installation, SYCL is enabled for the available intel devices, along with relevant libraries such as oneAPI oneDNN for Intel GPUs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **Adding support to Nvidia GPUs**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**oneAPI Plugin**: In order to enable SYCL support on Nvidia GPUs, please install the [Codeplay oneAPI Plugin for Nvidia GPUs](https://developer.codeplay.com/products/oneapi/nvidia/download). User should also make sure the plugin version matches the installed base toolkit one *(previous step)* for a seamless "oneAPI on Nvidia GPU" setup.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**oneMKL for cuBlas**: The current oneMKL releases *(shipped with the oneAPI base-toolkit)* do not contain the cuBLAS backend. A build from source of the upstream [oneMKL](https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneMKL) with the *cuBLAS* backend enabled is thus required to run it on Nvidia GPUs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
git clone https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneMKL
 | 
						|
cd oneMKL
 | 
						|
cmake -B buildWithCublas -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DENABLE_MKLGPU_BACKEND=OFF -DENABLE_MKLCPU_BACKEND=OFF -DENABLE_CUBLAS_BACKEND=ON -DTARGET_DOMAINS=blas
 | 
						|
cmake --build buildWithCublas --config Release
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**oneDNN**: The current oneDNN releases *(shipped with the oneAPI base-toolkit)* do not include the NVIDIA backend. Therefore, oneDNN must be compiled from source to enable the NVIDIA target:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
git clone https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneDNN.git
 | 
						|
cd oneDNN
 | 
						|
cmake -GNinja -Bbuild-nvidia -DDNNL_CPU_RUNTIME=DPCPP -DDNNL_GPU_RUNTIME=DPCPP -DDNNL_GPU_VENDOR=NVIDIA -DONEDNN_BUILD_GRAPH=OFF -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx
 | 
						|
cmake --build build-nvidia --config Release
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **Adding support to AMD GPUs**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**oneAPI Plugin**: In order to enable SYCL support on AMD GPUs, please install the [Codeplay oneAPI Plugin for AMD GPUs](https://developer.codeplay.com/products/oneapi/amd/download). As with Nvidia GPUs, the user should also make sure the plugin version matches the installed base toolkit.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**oneMKL for rocBlas**: The current oneMKL releases *(shipped with the oneAPI base-toolkit)* doesn't contain the rocBLAS backend. A build from source of the upstream [oneMKL](https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneMKL) with the *rocBLAS* backend enabled is thus required to run it on AMD GPUs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
git clone https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneMKL
 | 
						|
cd oneMKL
 | 
						|
# Find your HIPTARGET with rocminfo, under the key 'Name:'
 | 
						|
cmake -B buildWithrocBLAS -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DENABLE_MKLGPU_BACKEND=OFF -DENABLE_MKLCPU_BACKEND=OFF -DENABLE_ROCBLAS_BACKEND=ON -DHIPTARGETS=${HIPTARGET} -DTARGET_DOMAINS=blas
 | 
						|
cmake --build buildWithrocBLAS --config Release
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
3. **Verify installation and environment**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In order to check the available SYCL devices on the machine, please use the `sycl-ls` command.
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
 | 
						|
sycl-ls
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **Intel GPU**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When targeting an intel GPU, the user should expect one or more level-zero devices among the available SYCL devices. Please make sure that at least one GPU is present, for instance [`level_zero:gpu`] in the sample output below:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
[opencl:acc][opencl:0] Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Platform for OpenCL(TM), Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Device OpenCL 1.2  [2023.16.10.0.17_160000]

 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **Nvidia GPU**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Similarly, user targeting Nvidia GPUs should expect at least one SYCL-CUDA device [`cuda:gpu`] as below:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
[opencl:acc][opencl:0] Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Platform for OpenCL(TM), Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Device OpenCL 1.2  [2023.16.12.0.12_195853.xmain-hotfix]

 | 
						|
[cuda:gpu][cuda:0] NVIDIA CUDA BACKEND, NVIDIA A100-PCIE-40GB 8.0 [CUDA 12.5]
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **AMD GPU**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For AMD GPUs we should expect at least one SYCL-HIP device [`hip:gpu`]:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
[opencl:cpu][opencl:0] Intel(R) OpenCL, 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900K OpenCL 3.0 (Build 0) [2024.18.6.0.02_160000]
 | 
						|
[hip:gpu][hip:0] AMD HIP BACKEND, AMD Radeon PRO W6800 gfx1030 [HIP 60140.9]

### III. Run the inference
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Retrieve and prepare model
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can refer to the general [*Prepare and Quantize*](README.md#prepare-and-quantize) guide for model prepration, or simply download [llama-2-7b.Q4_0.gguf](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-GGUF/blob/main/llama-2-7b.Q4_0.gguf) model as example.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### Check device
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Enable oneAPI running environment
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2. List devices information
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Similar to the native `sycl-ls`, available SYCL devices can be queried as follow:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
./build/bin/llama-ls-sycl-device
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This command will only display the selected backend that is supported by SYCL. The default backend is level_zero. For example, in a system with 2 *intel GPU* it would look like the following:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
found 2 SYCL devices:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
|  |                  |                                             |Compute   |Max compute|Max work|Max sub|               |

 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
use 1 SYCL GPUs: [0] with Max compute units:512
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Windows
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### I. Setup Environment
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Install GPU driver
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Intel GPU drivers instructions guide and download page can be found here: [Get intel GPU Drivers](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/discrete-gpus/arc/software/drivers.html).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2. Install Visual Studio
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you already have a recent version of Microsoft Visual Studio, you can skip this step. Otherwise, please refer to the official download page for [Microsoft Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
3. Install Intel® oneAPI Base toolkit
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The base toolkit can be obtained from the official [Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/base-toolkit.html) page.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please follow the instructions for downloading and installing the Toolkit for Windows, and preferably keep the default installation values unchanged, notably the installation path *(`C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI` by default)*.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Following guidelines/code snippets assume the default installation values. Otherwise, please make sure the necessary changes are reflected where applicable.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
b. Enable oneAPI running environment:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Type "oneAPI" in the search bar, then open the `Intel oneAPI command prompt for Intel 64 for Visual Studio 2022` App.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- On the command prompt, enable the runtime environment with the following:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat" intel64
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
c. Verify installation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In the oneAPI command line, run the following to print the available SYCL devices:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
sycl-ls.exe
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There should be one or more *level-zero* GPU devices displayed as **[ext_oneapi_level_zero:gpu]**. Below is example of such output detecting an *intel Iris Xe* GPU as a Level-zero SYCL device:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Output (example):
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
4. Install build tools
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
a. Download & install cmake for Windows: https://cmake.org/download/ (CMake can also be installed from Visual Studio Installer)
 | 
						|
b. The new Visual Studio will install Ninja as default. (If not, please install it manually: https://ninja-build.org/)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### II. Build llama.cpp
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You could download the release package for Windows directly, which including binary files and depended oneAPI dll files.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Choose one of following methods to build from source code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Script
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
.\examples\sycl\win-build-sycl.bat
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2. CMake
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On the oneAPI command line window, step into the llama.cpp main directory and run the following:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
@call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat" intel64 --force
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Option 1: Use FP32 (recommended for better performance in most cases)
 | 
						|
cmake -B build -G "Ninja" -DGGML_SYCL=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=cl -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icx  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Option 2: Or FP16
 | 
						|
cmake -B build -G "Ninja" -DGGML_SYCL=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=cl -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icx  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DGGML_SYCL_F16=ON
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
cmake --build build --config Release -j
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Or, use CMake presets to build:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
cmake --preset x64-windows-sycl-release
 | 
						|
cmake --build build-x64-windows-sycl-release -j --target llama-cli
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
cmake -DGGML_SYCL_F16=ON --preset x64-windows-sycl-release
 | 
						|
cmake --build build-x64-windows-sycl-release -j --target llama-cli
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
cmake --preset x64-windows-sycl-debug
 | 
						|
cmake --build build-x64-windows-sycl-debug -j --target llama-cli
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
3. Visual Studio
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can use Visual Studio to open llama.cpp folder as a CMake project. Choose the sycl CMake presets (`x64-windows-sycl-release` or `x64-windows-sycl-debug`) before you compile the project.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*Notes:*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- In case of a minimal experimental setup, the user can build the inference executable only through `cmake --build build --config Release -j --target llama-cli`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### III. Run the inference
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Retrieve and prepare model
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can refer to the general [*Prepare and Quantize*](README.md#prepare-and-quantize) guide for model prepration, or simply download [llama-2-7b.Q4_0.gguf](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-GGUF/blob/main/llama-2-7b.Q4_0.gguf) model as example.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### Check device
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Enable oneAPI running environment
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On the oneAPI command line window, run the following and step into the llama.cpp directory:
 | 
						|
```
 |

## Known Issues
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `Split-mode:[row]` is not supported.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Q&A
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Error:  `error while loading shared libraries: libsycl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  - Potential cause: Unavailable oneAPI installation or not set ENV variables.
 | 
						|
  - Solution: Install *oneAPI base toolkit* and enable its ENV through: `source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- General compiler error:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  - Remove **build** folder or try a clean-build.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- I can **not** see `[ext_oneapi_level_zero:gpu]` afer installing the GPU driver on Linux.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  Please double-check with `sudo sycl-ls`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  If it's present in the list, please add video/render group to your user then **logout/login** or restart your system:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  ```
 | 
						|
  sudo usermod -aG render $USER
 | 
						|
  sudo usermod -aG video $USER
 | 
						|
  ```
 | 
						|
  Otherwise, please double-check the GPU driver installation steps.

- Can I report Ollama issue on Intel GPU to llama.cpp SYCL backend?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  No. We can't support Ollama issue directly, because we aren't familiar with Ollama.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  Sugguest reproducing on llama.cpp and report similar issue to llama.cpp. We will surpport it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  It's same for other projects including llama.cpp SYCL backend.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Meet issue: `Native API failed. Native API returns: -6 (PI_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY) -6 (PI_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY) -999 (UNKNOWN PI error)` or `failed to allocate SYCL0 buffer`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  Device Memory is not enough.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  |Reason|Solution|
 | 
						|
  |-|-|
 | 
						|
  |Default Context is too big. It leads to more memory usage.|Set `-c 8192` or smaller value.|
 | 
						|
  |Model is big and require more memory than device's.|Choose smaller quantized model, like Q5 -> Q4;<br>Use more than one devices to load model.|
