This topic provides a walkthrough for the installation of the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications - GPU Kernel Debugger on a Microsoft Windows* OS.
Intel SDK for OpenCL Applications - GPU Kernel Debugger for Windows* can be installed and run on the following operating systems:
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Windows 10 (64-bit) (preferred)
As a host machine, you can use any machine with an Intel® CPU running a supported Windows* OS.
A target machine is a 6th, 7th, or 8th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors machine running a supported Windows OS (Windows 10 is preferred) with the latest Graphics Driver installed.
Installation of the Intel SDK for OpenCL Applications - GPU Kernel Debugger on Windows machine requires installation on both host and target machines.
To install the debugger on the host machine, use the following steps:
C:\Intel\OpenCL\debugger
), you will need it for
installing on the target machine:
Reboot is required (usually for environment variables to propagate after setup), so make sure you reboot prior to the first usage.
The target machine is the machine used for running the OpenCL host application under debug. This machine is usually different from the host, unless you have a discrete graphics card used for displaying the Windows Desktop, in which case host and target can be the same machine. Complete the following steps to install the debugger on your target machine:
gen_debugger_target_*.msi
installer file
from the host machine (from C:\Intel\OpenCL\debugger
by default) to your target machine.If you want to (remotely) debug your OpenCL kernels using Microsoft Visual Studio* 2015/2017, the following additional steps are required.
You can skip these steps if you already have Visual Studio 2015/2017 installed on your target machine.
To debug through Visual Studio 2015, do the following:
Remote Debugger
directory: mkdir
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Remote
Debugger
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger
from your host machine
to your target machine (into the same directory hierarchy)C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Remote
Debugger\x64
msvsmon.exe
> Send to
> Desktop (create shortcut), rename the shortcut
to VS2015 Remote Debugger.
If you wish to debug through Visual Studio 2017, do the following:
Remote Debugger
directory: mkdir
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\Remote
Debugger
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger
from your
host machine to your target machine (into the same directory hierarchy)C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\Remote
Debugger\x64
msvsmon.exe
> Send to
> Desktop (create shortcut), rename the shortcut
to VS2017 Remote Debugger.
