# BigDL-LLM Installation: GPU

## Windows

### Prerequisites

BigDL-LLM on Windows supports Intel iGPU and dGPU.

```eval_rst
.. important::

    BigDL-LLM on Windows only supports PyTorch 2.1.
```

To apply Intel GPU acceleration, there're several prerequisite steps for tools installation and environment preparation:

* Step 1: Install [Visual Studio 2022](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) Community Edition and select "Desktop development with C++" workload, like [this](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/vscpp-step-0-installation?view=msvc-170#step-4---choose-workloads)

* Step 2: Install or update to latest [GPU driver](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html)

* Step 3: Install [Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/base-toolkit-download.html) 2024.0

### Install BigDL-LLM From PyPI

We recommend using [miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html) to create a python 3.9 enviroment:

```eval_rst
.. important::

   ``bigdl-llm`` is tested with Python 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11. Python 3.9 is recommended for best practices.
```

The easiest ways to install `bigdl-llm` is the following commands:

```
conda create -n llm python=3.9 libuv
conda activate llm

pip install --pre --upgrade bigdl-llm[xpu] -f https://developer.intel.com/ipex-whl-stable-xpu
```

### Install BigDL-LLM From Wheel

If you encounter network issues when installing IPEX, you can also install BigDL-LLM dependencies for Intel XPU from source archives. First you need to download and install torch/torchvision/ipex from wheels listed below before installing `bigdl-llm`.

Download the wheels on Windows system:

```
wget https://intel-extension-for-pytorch.s3.amazonaws.com/ipex_stable/xpu/torch-2.1.0a0%2Bcxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
wget https://intel-extension-for-pytorch.s3.amazonaws.com/ipex_stable/xpu/torchvision-0.16.0a0%2Bcxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
wget https://intel-extension-for-pytorch.s3.amazonaws.com/ipex_stable/xpu/intel_extension_for_pytorch-2.1.10%2Bxpu-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
```

You may install dependencies directly from the wheel archives and then install `bigdl-llm` using following commands:

```
pip install torch-2.1.0a0+cxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
pip install torchvision-0.16.0a0+cxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
pip install intel_extension_for_pytorch-2.1.10+xpu-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl

pip install --pre --upgrade bigdl-llm[xpu]
```

```eval_rst
.. note::

   All the wheel packages mentioned here are for Python 3.9. If you would like to use Python 3.10 or 3.11, you should modify the wheel names for ``torch``, ``torchvision``, and ``intel_extension_for_pytorch`` by replacing ``cp39`` with ``cp310`` or ``cp311``, respectively.
```

### Runtime Configuration

To use GPU acceleration on Windows, several environment variables are required before running a GPU example.

Make sure you are using CMD (Anaconda Prompt if using conda) as PowerShell is not supported:

```cmd
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat"
```

Please also set the following environment variable if you would like to run LLMs on:

```eval_rst
.. tabs::
   .. tab:: Intel iGPU

      .. code-block:: cmd

         set SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
         set BIGDL_LLM_XMX_DISABLED=1

   .. tab:: Intel Arc™ A300-Series or Pro A60

      .. code-block:: cmd

         set SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1

   .. tab:: Other Intel dGPU Series

      There is no need to set further environment variables.
```

```eval_rst
.. note::

   For **the first time** that **each model** runs on Intel iGPU/Intel Arc™ A300-Series or Pro A60, it may take several minutes to compile.
```

### Troubleshooting

#### 1. Error loading `intel_extension_for_pytorch`

If you met error when importing `intel_extension_for_pytorch`, please ensure that you have completed the following steps:

* Ensure that you have installed Visual Studio with "Desktop development with C++" workload.

* Make sure that the correct version of oneAPI, specifically 2024.0, is installed.

* Ensure that `libuv` is installed in your conda environment. This can be done during the creation of the environment with the command:
  ```cmd
  conda create -n llm python=3.9 libuv
  ```
  If you missed `libuv`, you can add it to your existing environment through
  ```cmd
  conda install libuv
  ```

* Make sure you have configured oneAPI environment variables in your command prompt through
  ```cmd
  call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat"
  ```
  Please note that you need to set these environment variables again once you have a new command prompt window.

### Install BigDL-LLM From PyPI

We recommend using [miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html) to create a python 3.9 enviroment:

```eval_rst
.. important::

   ``bigdl-llm`` is tested with Python 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11. Python 3.9 is recommended for best practices.
```

```eval_rst
.. important::
   Make sure you install matching versions of BigDL-LLM/pytorch/IPEX and oneAPI Base Toolkit. BigDL-LLM with Pytorch 2.1 should be used with oneAPI Base Toolkit version 2024.0. BigDL-LLM with Pytorch 2.0 should be used with oneAPI Base Toolkit version 2023.2.
```

```eval_rst
.. tabs::
   .. tab:: PyTorch 2.1

      .. code-block:: bash

         conda create -n llm python=3.9
         conda activate llm

         pip install --pre --upgrade bigdl-llm[xpu] -f https://developer.intel.com/ipex-whl-stable-xpu

      .. note::

         The ``xpu`` option will install BigDL-LLM with PyTorch 2.1 by default, which is equivalent to

         .. code-block:: bash

            pip install --pre --upgrade bigdl-llm[xpu_2.1] -f https://developer.intel.com/ipex-whl-stable-xpu

         pip install --pre --upgrade bigdl-llm[xpu_2.0] -f https://developer.intel.com/ipex-whl-stable-xpu

```

### Install BigDL-LLM From Wheel

If you encounter network issues when installing IPEX, you can also install BigDL-LLM dependencies for Intel XPU from source archives. First you need to download and install torch/torchvision/ipex from wheels listed below before installing `bigdl-llm`.

```eval_rst
.. tabs::
   .. tab:: PyTorch 2.1

      .. code-block:: bash

         # get the wheels on Linux system for IPEX 2.1.10+xpu
         wget https://intel-extension-for-pytorch.s3.amazonaws.com/ipex_stable/xpu/torch-2.1.0a0%2Bcxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl
         wget https://intel-extension-for-pytorch.s3.amazonaws.com/ipex_stable/xpu/torchvision-0.16.0a0%2Bcxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl
         wget https://intel-extension-for-pytorch.s3.amazonaws.com/ipex_stable/xpu/intel_extension_for_pytorch-2.1.10%2Bxpu-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl

      Then you may install directly from the wheel archives using following commands:

      .. code-block:: bash

         # install the packages from the wheels
         pip install torch-2.1.0a0+cxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl
         pip install torchvision-0.16.0a0+cxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl
         pip install intel_extension_for_pytorch-2.1.10+xpu-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl

         # install bigdl-llm for Intel GPU
         pip install --pre --upgrade bigdl-llm[xpu]

   .. tab:: PyTorch 2.0

      .. code-block:: bash

         # get the wheels on Linux system for IPEX 2.0.110+xpu
         wget https://intel-extension-for-pytorch.s3.amazonaws.com/ipex_stable/xpu/torch-2.0.1a0%2Bcxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl
         wget https://intel-extension-for-pytorch.s3.amazonaws.com/ipex_stable/xpu/torchvision-0.15.2a0%2Bcxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl
         wget https://intel-extension-for-pytorch.s3.amazonaws.com/ipex_stable/xpu/intel_extension_for_pytorch-2.0.110%2Bxpu-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl

      Then you may install directly from the wheel archives using following commands:

      .. code-block:: bash

         # install the packages from the wheels
         pip install torch-2.0.1a0+cxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl
         pip install torchvision-0.15.2a0+cxx11.abi-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl
         pip install intel_extension_for_pytorch-2.0.110+xpu-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl

         # install bigdl-llm for Intel GPU
         pip install --pre --upgrade bigdl-llm[xpu_2.0]

```

```eval_rst
.. note::

   All the wheel packages mentioned here are for Python 3.9. If you would like to use Python 3.10 or 3.11, you should modify the wheel names for ``torch``, ``torchvision``, and ``intel_extension_for_pytorch`` by replacing ``cp39`` with ``cp310`` or ``cp311``, respectively.
```

### Runtime Configuration

To use GPU acceleration on Linux, several environment variables are required or recommended before running a GPU example.

```eval_rst
.. tabs::
   .. tab:: Intel Arc™ A-Series and Intel Data Center GPU Flex

      For Intel Arc™ A-Series Graphics and Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series, we recommend:

      .. code-block:: bash

         # Required step. Configure oneAPI environment variables
         source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh

         # Recommended Environment Variables
         export USE_XETLA=OFF
         export SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_IMMEDIATE_COMMANDLISTS=1

   .. tab:: Intel Data Center GPU Max

      For Intel Data Center GPU Max Series, we recommend:

      .. code-block:: bash

         # Required step. Configure oneAPI environment variables
         source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh

         # Recommended Environment Variables
         export LD_PRELOAD=${LD_PRELOAD}:${CONDA_PREFIX}/lib/libtcmalloc.so
         export SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_IMMEDIATE_COMMANDLISTS=1
         export ENABLE_SDP_FUSION=1

      Please note that ``libtcmalloc.so`` can be installed by ``conda install -c conda-forge -y gperftools=2.10``

```

### Known issues

#### 1. Potential suboptimal performance with Linux kernel 6.2.0

For Ubuntu 22.04 and driver version < stable_775_20_20231219, the performance on Linux kernel 6.2.0 is worse than Linux kernel 5.19.0. You can use `sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y intel-i915-dkms intel-fw-gpu` to install the latest driver to solve this issue (need to reboot OS).

Tips: You can use `sudo apt list --installed | grep intel-i915-dkms` to check your intel-i915-dkms's version, the version should be latest and >= `1.23.9.11.231003.15+i19-1`.

#### 2. Driver installation unmet dependencies error: intel-i915-dkms

The last apt install command of the driver installation may produce the following error:

```
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 intel-i915-dkms : Conflicts: intel-platform-cse-dkms
                   Conflicts: intel-platform-vsec-dkms
```

You can use `sudo apt install -y intel-i915-dkms intel-fw-gpu` to install instead. As the intel-platform-cse-dkms and intel-platform-vsec-dkms are already provided by intel-i915-dkms.

### Troubleshooting

#### 1. Cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Error where libmkl file is not found, for example,

```
OSError: libmkl_intel_lp64.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
```
Error: libmkl_sycl_blas.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```

The reason for such errors is that oneAPI has not been initialized properly before running BigDL-LLM code or before importing IPEX package.

* Step 1: Make sure you execute setvars.sh of oneAPI Base Toolkit before running BigDL-LLM code.
* Step 2: Make sure you install matching versions of BigDL-LLM/pytorch/IPEX and oneAPI Base Toolkit. BigDL-LLM with PyTorch 2.1 should be used with oneAPI Base Toolkit version 2024.0. BigDL-LLM with PyTorch 2.0 should be used with oneAPI Base Toolkit version 2023.2.
