Background

SYCL is a higher-level programming model to improve programming productivity on various hardware accelerators—such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. It is a single-source embedded domain-specific language based on pure C++17.

oneAPI is a specification that is open and standards-based, supporting multiple architecture types including but not limited to GPU, CPU, and FPGA. The spec has both direct programming and API-based programming paradigms.

Intel uses the SYCL as direct programming language to support CPU, GPUs and FPGAs.

To avoid re-inventing the wheel, this code refers other code paths in llama.cpp (like OpenBLAS, cuBLAS, CLBlast). We use a open-source tool SYCLomatic (Commercial release Intel® DPC++ Compatibility Tool) migrate to SYCL.

The whisper.cpp for SYCL is used to support Intel GPUs.

For Intel CPU, recommend to use whisper.cpp for X86 (Intel MKL build).

Linux

Setup Environment

  1. Install Intel GPU driver.

a. Please install Intel GPU driver by official guide: Install GPU Drivers.

Note: for iGPU, please install the client GPU driver.

b. Add user to group: video, render.

sudo usermod -aG render username
sudo usermod -aG video username

Note: re-login to enable it.

c. Check

sudo apt install clinfo
sudo clinfo -l

Output (example):

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]
  1. Install Intel® oneAPI Base toolkit.

a. Please follow the procedure in Get the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit .

Recommend to install to default folder: /opt/intel/oneapi.

Following guide use the default folder as example. If you use other folder, please modify the following guide info with your folder.

b. Check

source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh

sycl-ls

There should be one or more level-zero devices. Like [ext_oneapi_level_zero:gpu:0].

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, 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]
  1. Build locally:
mkdir -p build
cd build
source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh

#for FP16
#cmake .. -DWHISPER_SYCL=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx -DWHISPER_SYCL_F16=ON 

#for FP32
cmake .. -DWHISPER_SYCL=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx

#build example/main only
#cmake --build . --config Release --target main

#build all binary
cmake --build . --config Release -v

or

./examples/sycl/build.sh

Note:

  • By default, it will build for all binary files. It will take more time. To reduce the time, we recommend to build for example/main only.

Run

  1. Put model file to folder models

  2. Enable oneAPI running environment

source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
  1. List device ID

Run without parameter:

./build/bin/ls-sycl-device

or

./build/bin/main

Check the ID in startup log, like:

found 4 SYCL devices:
  Device 0: Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics,	compute capability 1.3,
    max compute_units 512,	max work group size 1024,	max sub group size 32,	global mem size 16225243136
  Device 1: Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Device,	compute capability 1.2,
    max compute_units 24,	max work group size 67108864,	max sub group size 64,	global mem size 67065057280
  Device 2: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K,	compute capability 3.0,
    max compute_units 24,	max work group size 8192,	max sub group size 64,	global mem size 67065057280
  Device 3: Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics,	compute capability 3.0,
    max compute_units 512,	max work group size 1024,	max sub group size 32,	global mem size 16225243136
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
  1. Set device ID and execute whisper.cpp

Set device ID = 0 by GGML_SYCL_DEVICE=0

GGML_SYCL_DEVICE=0 ./build/bin/main -m models/ggml-base.en.bin -f samples/jfk.wav

or run by script:

./examples/sycl/run_whisper.sh
  1. Check the device ID in output

Like:

Using device **0** (Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics) as main device

Environment Variable

Build

Name Value Function
WHISPER_SYCL ON (mandatory) Enable build with SYCL code path.
For FP32/FP16, WHISPER_SYCL=ON is mandatory.
WHISPER_SYCL_F16 ON (optional) Enable FP16 build with SYCL code path.For FP32, do not set it.
CMAKE_C_COMPILER icx Use icx compiler for SYCL code path
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER icpx use icpx for SYCL code path

Running

Name Value Function
GGML_SYCL_DEVICE 0 (default) or 1 Set the device id used. Check the device ids by default running output
GGML_SYCL_DEBUG 0 (default) or 1 Enable log function by macro: GGML_SYCL_DEBUG

Known Issue

  • Error: error while loading shared libraries: libsycl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

    Miss to enable oneAPI running environment.

    Install oneAPI base toolkit and enable it by: source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh.

  • Hang during startup

    llama.cpp use mmap as default way to read model file and copy to GPU. In some system, memcpy will be abnormal and block.

    Solution: add --no-mmap.

Todo

  • Support to build in Windows.

  • Support multiple cards.
