oneAPI DPC++ Compiler release 7.0.1

Components included in the release

• clang version 22.1.0
• SYCL runtime version 9.0.0 (as indicated by predefined macro __LIBSYCL_MAJOR_VERSION, __LIBSYCL_MINOR_VERSION and __LIBSYCL_PATCH_VERSION)

Compatibility with previous releases

This release is compatible with the previous v7.0.0 release.
Any applications built with this release should continue to work with runtime shipped in this release.

Compatibility with oneAPI

Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler version 2026.0 release leverages codebase from the sycl-rel-7_0 branch and it is the closest oneAPI DPC++/C++ compiler release to this one (in terms of available features and bugfixes).

However, this does not guarantee any feature or bugfix parity between these two releases.

Validation & quality expectations

In general, list of supported hardware and operating systems should match the one provided by Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler for version 2026.0, see corresponding system requirements.

However, we did not perform the same exhaustive testing of this open-source branch and therefore there could be some unique issues that are not present in Intel (R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler version 2026.0.

You can find full validation logs for the branch here but a summary of it will also be posted below.

SYCL CTS

Please note that releases made from intel/llvm did not pass the formal Conformance Process defined by the Khronos Group and as such cannot be considered to be fully conformant or fully implementing the SYCL 2020 specification.

• Linux (Ubuntu 22.04)
  • Intel(R) OpenCL on
    11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80 Ghz OpenCL 3.0
    • Driver version: 2025.20.10.0.10_160000

• Windows
  • Intel(R) oneAPI Unified Runtime over Level-Zero on

    • Driver version: 1.6.34728

We used 45b72a6 CTS in our validation.

How to use

Pre-built binaries are provided for Windows & Linux. Archives contain both SYCL compiler and runtime files.
To use, unpack those and setup PATH & LD_LIBRARY_PATH/PATH & LIB env variables in accordance with
Get Started Guide.

Binaries were built using the following project configuration (below is an (incomplete) list of (key) arguments passed to buildbot/configure.py script):

# Linux:
-t Release --use-zstd --ci-defaults --disable-jit --no-assertions --add_security_flags=sanitize --hip --cuda
# Windows:
--ci-defaults --use-zstd --disable-jit --no-assertions --add_security_flags=sanitize

As you can see, SYCL JIT library is not being built, OpenMP is not being built, HIP & CUDA plugins on Windows are not being built.
If you are interested in a different configuration, you will have to build it yourself. To do so, follow
Get Started Guide
