Intel's open-source Graphics Compute Runtime (NEO) providing OpenCL 3.0 and oneAPI Level Zero compute API support for Intel HD Graphics and Xe hardware. It serves as the user-space driver enabling GPGPU workloads on Intel integrated and discrete GPUs.

Use cases

• run OpenCL kernels on Intel GPUs
• enable Level Zero compute on Intel graphics
• GPU compute driver for Intel HD Graphics
• run oneAPI workloads on Intel Xe GPUs
• enable GPU acceleration in WSL on Intel hardware
• GPGPU compute support for Intel integrated graphics

When to choose

• you need OpenCL or Level Zero support on Intel HD Graphics or Xe hardware
• you want an open-source compute driver for Intel GPUs on Linux or Windows
• you need GPU compute inside WSL on Intel platforms

When to avoid

• you use AMD, NVIDIA, or non-Intel GPUs
• you need graphics/rendering APIs like Vulkan or OpenGL rather than compute APIs
• you rely on very old pre-Gen8 Intel hardware
