Release Notes and New Features

2024.0.1

Intel Advisor 2024.0.1 supports a new Intel GPU on Linux.

  • Intel® Data Center Max 1100C GPU: A 300-watt double-wide AIC card with 56 Xe cores and 48 GB of HBM2E memory. Multiple cards can be connected via Intel Xe Link bridges.  This card is specifically designed to meet the requirements of US Government Export Control Regulations for export into China.

2024.0

Overview

  • Added multi-tile and multi-card profiling support for Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series (PVC).
  • Support for 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor (Sapphire Rapids) ISA : Added support for fp16 and bfloat16 data types, VNNI Int8/int16.
  • Support for 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor (Sapphire Rapids) AMX extensions: Added support for AMX bfloat16 and AMX int8 data types.
  • Directory layout change support.
  • Intel ® Advisor has been updated to include recent versions of 3rd party components, which include functional and security updates. Customers should update to the latest version as it becomes available.

Known Issues and Limitations

  • The modulefile included with Intel Advisor 2024.0 incorrectly derives the component root path as "/". This file is located at:
    <install-dir>/advisor/2024.0/etc/modulefiles/advisor/2024.0

    Workarounds for this issue include:
    1. Click here to download the fixed tcl file and replace the existing 2024.0 file.
    2. Instead of using "module load" to set up the environment variables, run:
    $ source <install-dir>/advisor/latest/advisor-vars.sh

  • Advisor Tripcounts collection might not run as expected on Intel Iris® XE Graphics GPU and Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series devices, which may result in not generating GPU Roofline after an analysis. As a workaround, one might use one of the previous graphics drivers and runtimes suite release, but it depends on a specific hardware platform. Advisor analysis on Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series is not affected.

Notes

  • Improved Directory Layout -  The Unified Directory Layout is implemented in 2024.0. If you have multiple toolkit versions installed, the Unified layout ensures that your development environment contains the correct component versions for each installed version of the toolkit. For detailed information about the Unified layout, refer to Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit Release Notes.
