Supported Operating Systems

Intel(R) Metrics Discovery Application Programming Interface is supported on Linux family operating systems with minimum kernel version 4.14. Event based measurements require minimum Mesa version 18.2.

Detailed minimum version requirements

Platform	Code Name	Minimum Linux Kernel Version	Minimum Mesa Version
Arc	Alchemist	5.20	22.1.5
Gen12	Rocket Lake	5.17	22.1.5
Gen12	DG1	5.13	22.1.5
Gen12	Tiger Lake	5.9	21.0
Gen11	Elkhart Lake	5.3	19.1
Gen11	Ice Lake	4.18	19.1

Build and Install

1. Download sources.

2. Install libdrm-dev.

sudo apt install libdrm-dev

or

sudo dnf install libdrm-devel

3. Run CMake generation:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..

4. Build:

make -j$(nproc)

5. Built library will be here (for 64-bit Linux):

(project_root)/dump/linux64/release/metrics_discovery/libigdmd.so

6. Install:

If using native package manager (yum, dnf, etc..) skip to step 7

sudo make install

7. Packaging:

make package

After the process completes, there should be a set of files such as

intel-metrics-discovery-[VERSION].x86_64.rpm
intel-metrics-discovery-devel-[VERSION].x86_64.rpm
intel-metrics-discovery-pkgconfig-[VERSION].x86_64.rpm

Note: To clear CMake params remove CMakeCache.txt, then regenerate.
