## 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 - Math Kernel Library)*.
- **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 could support other vendor GPUs: Nvidia GPU (*AMD GPU coming*).
When targeting **Intel CPU**, it is recommended to use llama.cpp for [Intel oneMKL](README.md#intel-onemkl) backend.
It has the similar design of other llama.cpp BLAS-based paths such as *OpenBLAS, cuBLAS, CLBlast etc..*. In beginning work, the oneAPI's [SYCLomatic](https://github.com/oneapi-src/SYCLomatic) open-source migration tool (Commercial release [Intel® DPC++ Compatibility Tool](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/dpc-compatibility-tool.html)) was used for this purpose.

## OS
|OS|Status|Verified|
|-|-|-|
|Linux|Support|Ubuntu 22.04, Fedora Silverblue 39|
|Windows|Support|Windows 11|
## Hardware
### Intel GPU
**Verified devices**
|Intel GPU| Status | Verified Model|
|-|-|-|
|Intel Data Center Max Series| Support| Max 1550|
|Intel Data Center Flex Series| Support| Flex 170|
|Intel Arc Series| Support| Arc 770, 730M|
|Intel built-in Arc GPU| Support| built-in Arc GPU in Meteor Lake|
|Intel iGPU| Support| iGPU in i5-1250P, i7-1260P, i7-1165G7|
*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/main`.
- 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.
### Nvidia GPU
The BLAS acceleration on Nvidia GPU through oneAPI can be obtained using the Nvidia plugins for oneAPI and the cuBLAS backend of the upstream oneMKL library. Details and instructions on how to setup the runtime and library can be found in [this section](#i-setup-environment)
**Verified devices**
|Nvidia GPU| Status | Verified Model|
|-|-|-|
|Ampere Series| Support| A100, A4000|
|Ampere Series *(Mobile)*| Support| RTX 40 Series|
*Notes:*
- Support for Nvidia targets through oneAPI is currently limited to Linux platforms.
- Please make sure the native oneAPI MKL *(dedicated to intel CPUs and GPUs)* is not "visible" at this stage to properly setup and use the built-from-source oneMKL with cuBLAS backend in llama.cpp for Nvidia GPUs.
## 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="LLAMA_SYCL_F16=ON" -f .devops/main-intel.Dockerfile .
```
*Notes*:
To build in default FP32 *(Slower than FP16 alternative)*, you can remove the `--build-arg="LLAMA_SYCL_F16=ON"` argument from the previous command.
You can also use the `.devops/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#cublas)-* are installed.
Installation can be verified by running the following:
```sh
nvidia-smi
```
Please make sure at least one CUDA device is available, which can be displayed like this *(here an A100-40GB Nvidia GPU)*:
```
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NVIDIA-SMI 535.54.03 Driver Version: 535.54.03 CUDA Version: 12.2 |
|-----------------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
| GPU Name Persistence-M | Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr. ECC |

| N/A 36C P0 57W / 250W | 4MiB / 40960MiB | 0% Default |
| | | Disabled |
+-----------------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
```
2. **Install Intel® oneAPI Base toolkit**
- **Base installation**
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 MKL for intel GPUs.
- **Adding support to Nvidia GPUs**
**oneAPI**: 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**: 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
mkdir -p buildWithCublas && cd buildWithCublas
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DENABLE_MKLGPU_BACKEND=OFF -DENABLE_MKLCPU_BACKEND=OFF -DENABLE_CUBLAS_BACKEND=ON -DTARGET_DOMAINS=blas
make
```
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 [`ext_oneapi_level_zero:gpu:0`] in the sample output below:
```
[opencl:acc:0] Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Platform for OpenCL(TM), Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Device OpenCL 1.2 [2023.16.10.0.17_160000]
[opencl:cpu:1] Intel(R) OpenCL, 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K OpenCL 3.0 (Build 0) [2023.16.10.0.17_160000]
[opencl:gpu:2] Intel(R) OpenCL Graphics, Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics OpenCL 3.0 NEO [23.30.26918.50]
[ext_oneapi_level_zero:gpu:0] Intel(R) Level-Zero, Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics 1.3 [1.3.26918]
```
- **Nvidia GPU**
Similarly, user targetting Nvidia GPUs should expect at least one SYCL-CUDA device [`ext_oneapi_cuda:gpu`] as bellow:
```
[opencl:acc: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]
[opencl:cpu:1] Intel(R) OpenCL, Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6326 CPU @ 2.90GHz OpenCL 3.0 (Build 0) [2023.16.12.0.12_195853.xmain-hotfix]
[ext_oneapi_cuda:gpu:0] NVIDIA CUDA BACKEND, NVIDIA A100-PCIE-40GB 8.0 [CUDA 12.2]
```
### II. Build llama.cpp
#### Intel GPU
```sh
# Export relevant ENV variables
source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
# Build LLAMA with MKL BLAS acceleration for intel GPU
mkdir -p build && cd build
# Option 1: Use FP16 for better performance in long-prompt inference
cmake --build .. -DLLAMA_SYCL=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx -DLLAMA_SYCL_F16=ON
# Or without "--build", run "make" next
# Option 2: Use FP32 by default
cmake --build .. -DLLAMA_SYCL=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx
```
#### Nvidia GPU
```sh
# Export relevant ENV variables
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/oneMKL/buildWithCublas/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/oneMKL/buildWithCublas/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/oneMKL/buildWithCublas/include:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_DIR
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/oneMKL/include:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_DIR
# Build LLAMA with Nvidia BLAS acceleration through SYCL
mkdir -p build && cd build
# Option 1: Use FP16 for better performance in long-prompt inference
cmake --build .. -DLLAMA_SYCL=ON -DLLAMA_SYCL_TARGET=NVIDIA -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx -DLLAMA_SYCL_F16=ON
# Option 2: Use FP32 by default
cmake --build .. -DLLAMA_SYCL=ON -DLLAMA_SYCL_TARGET=NVIDIA -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx
```
### III. Run the inference
1. 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.
2. Enable oneAPI running environment
```sh
source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
```
3. List devices information
Similar to the native `sycl-ls`, available SYCL devices can be queried as follow:
```sh
./build/bin/ls-sycl-device
```
A example of such log in a system with 1 *intel CPU* and 1 *intel GPU* can look like the following:
```
found 6 SYCL devices:
| | | |Compute |Max compute|Max work|Max sub| |
|ID| Device Type| Name|capability|units |group |group |Global mem size|
|--|------------------|---------------------------------------------|----------|-----------|--------|-------|---------------|
| 0|[level_zero:gpu:0]| Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics| 1.3| 512| 1024| 32| 16225243136|
| 1|[level_zero:gpu:1]| Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770| 1.3| 32| 512| 32| 53651849216|
| 2| [opencl:gpu:0]| Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics| 3.0| 512| 1024| 32| 16225243136|
| 3| [opencl:gpu:1]| Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770| 3.0| 32| 512| 32| 53651849216|
| 4| [opencl:cpu:0]| 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K| 3.0| 24| 8192| 64| 67064815616|
| 5| [opencl:acc:0]| Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Device| 1.2| 24|67108864| 64| 67064815616|
```
|Attribute|Note|
|-|-|
|compute capability 1.3|Level-zero driver/runtime, recommended |
|compute capability 3.0|OpenCL driver/runtime, slower than level-zero in most cases|
4. Launch inference
There are two device selection modes:
- Single device: Use one device target specified by the user.
- Multiple devices: Automatically select the devices with the same largest Max compute-units.
|Device selection|Parameter|
|-|-|
|Single device|--split-mode none --main-gpu DEVICE_ID |
|Multiple devices|--split-mode layer (default)|
Examples:
- Use device 0:
```sh
ZES_ENABLE_SYSMAN=1 ./build/bin/main -m models/llama-2-7b.Q4_0.gguf -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 400 -e -ngl 33 -sm none -mg 0
```
or run by script:
```sh
./examples/sycl/run_llama2.sh 0
```
- Use multiple devices:
```sh
ZES_ENABLE_SYSMAN=1 ./build/bin/main -m models/llama-2-7b.Q4_0.gguf -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 400 -e -ngl 33 -sm layer
```
Otherwise, you can run the script:
```sh
./examples/sycl/run_llama2.sh
```
*Notes:*
- By default, `mmap` is used to read the model file. In some cases, it causes runtime hang issues. Please disable it by passing `--no-mmap` to the `/bin/main` if faced with the issue.
- Upon execution, verify the selected device(s) ID(s) in the output log, which can for instance be displayed as follow:
```sh
detect 1 SYCL GPUs: [0] with top Max compute units:512
```
Or
```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
```
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):
```
[opencl:acc:0] Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Platform for OpenCL(TM), Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Device OpenCL 1.2 [2023.16.10.0.17_160000]
[opencl:cpu:1] Intel(R) OpenCL, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz OpenCL 3.0 (Build 0) [2023.16.10.0.17_160000]
[opencl:gpu:2] Intel(R) OpenCL Graphics, Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics OpenCL 3.0 NEO [31.0.101.5186]
[ext_oneapi_level_zero:gpu:0] Intel(R) Level-Zero, Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics 1.3 [1.3.28044]
```
4. Install build tools
a. Download & install cmake for Windows: https://cmake.org/download/
b. Download & install mingw-w64 make for Windows provided by w64devkit
- Download the 1.19.0 version of [w64devkit](https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit/releases/download/v1.19.0/w64devkit-1.19.0.zip).
- Extract `w64devkit` on your pc.
- Add the **bin** folder path in the Windows system PATH environment (for e.g. `C:\xxx\w64devkit\bin\`).
### II. Build llama.cpp
On the oneAPI command line window, step into the llama.cpp main directory and run the following:
```
mkdir -p build
cd build
@call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat" intel64 --force
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" .. -DLLAMA_SYCL=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLAMA_SYCL_F16=ON
make
```
Otherwise, run the `win-build-sycl.bat` wrapper which encapsulates the former instructions:
```sh
.\examples\sycl\win-build-sycl.bat
```
*Notes:*
- By default, calling `make` will build all target binary files. In case of a minimal experimental setup, the user can build the inference executable only through `make main`.
### III. Run the inference
1. Retrieve and prepare model
You can refer to the general [*Prepare and Quantize*](README#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.
2. Enable oneAPI running environment
On the oneAPI command line window, run the following and step into the llama.cpp directory:
```
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat" intel64
```
3. List devices information
Similar to the native `sycl-ls`, available SYCL devices can be queried as follow:
```
build\bin\ls-sycl-device.exe
```
The output of this command in a system with 1 *intel CPU* and 1 *intel GPU* would look like the following:
```
found 6 SYCL devices:
| | | |Compute |Max compute|Max work|Max sub| |
|ID| Device Type| Name|capability|units |group |group |Global mem size|

| 5| [opencl:acc:0]| Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Device| 1.2| 24|67108864| 64| 67064815616|
```
|Attribute|Note|
|-|-|
|compute capability 1.3|Level-zero running time, recommended |
|compute capability 3.0|OpenCL running time, slower than level-zero in most cases|
4. Launch inference
There are two device selection modes:
- Single device: Use one device assigned by user.
- Multiple devices: Automatically choose the devices with the same biggest Max compute units.
|Device selection|Parameter|
|-|-|
|Single device|--split-mode none --main-gpu DEVICE_ID |
|Multiple devices|--split-mode layer (default)|
Examples:
- Use device 0:
```
build\bin\main.exe -m models\llama-2-7b.Q4_0.gguf -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:\nStep 1:" -n 400 -e -ngl 33 -s 0 -sm none -mg 0
```
- Use multiple devices:
```
build\bin\main.exe -m models\llama-2-7b.Q4_0.gguf -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:\nStep 1:" -n 400 -e -ngl 33 -s 0 -sm layer
```
Otherwise, run the following wrapper script:
```
.\examples\sycl\win-run-llama2.bat
```
Note:
- By default, `mmap` is used to read the model file. In some cases, it causes runtime hang issues. Please disable it by passing `--no-mmap` to the `main.exe` if faced with the issue.
- Upon execution, verify the selected device(s) ID(s) in the output log, which can for instance be displayed as follow:
```sh
detect 1 SYCL GPUs: [0] with top Max compute units:512
```
Or
```sh
use 1 SYCL GPUs: [0] with Max compute units:512
```
## Environment Variable
#### Build
|Name|Value|Function|
|-|-|-|
|LLAMA_SYCL|ON (mandatory)|Enable build with SYCL code path.|
|LLAMA_SYCL_TARGET | INTEL *(default)* \| NVIDIA|Set the SYCL target device type.|
|LLAMA_SYCL_F16|OFF *(default)* \|ON *(optional)*|Enable FP16 build with SYCL code path.|
|CMAKE_C_COMPILER|icx|Set *icx* compiler for SYCL code path.|
|CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER|icpx *(Linux)*, icx *(Windows)*|Set `icpx/icx` compiler for SYCL code path.|
#### Runtime
|Name|Value|Function|
|-|-|-|
|GGML_SYCL_DEBUG|0 (default) or 1|Enable log function by macro: GGML_SYCL_DEBUG|
|ZES_ENABLE_SYSMAN| 0 (default) or 1|Support to get free memory of GPU by sycl::aspect::ext_intel_free_memory.<br>Recommended to use when --split-mode = layer|
## Known Issues
- Hanging during startup
llama.cpp uses *mmap* as the default mode for reading the model file and copying it to the GPU. In some systems, `memcpy` might behave abnormally and therefore hang.
- **Solution**: add `--no-mmap` or `--mmap 0` flag to the `main` executable.
- `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.

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:
