||
To apply Intel GPU acceleration, there’re several steps for tools installation and environment preparation.
|
||
|
||
Step 1, only Linux system is supported now, Ubuntu 22.04 is prefered.
|
||
|
||
Step 2, please refer to our [driver installation](https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/driver/installation.html) for general purpose GPU capabilities.
|
||
> **Note**: IPEX 2.0.110+xpu requires Intel GPU Driver version is [Stable 647.21](https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/releases/stable_647_21_20230714.html).
|
||
|
||
Step 3, you also need to download and install [Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/base-toolkit-download.html). OneMKL and DPC++ compiler are needed, others are optional.

## Best Known Configuration on Linux
|
||
For better performance, it is recommended to set environment variables on Linux:
|
||
```bash
|
||
export USE_XETLA=OFF
|
||
export SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_IMMEDIATE_COMMANDLISTS=1
|
||
```
