# Intel(R) software for general purpose GPU capabilities

This site provides documentation and instructions for installing, deploying,
and updating Intel software to enable general purpose GPU (GPGPU) capabilities
for Linux\*-based operating system distributions.

**GPGPU** refers to using the GPU for general purpose computation, for example
the type of operations used in machine learning or media transcoding.

For those looking for Linux graphics display support, it is recommended 
to use the software provided by your operating system distribution 
vendor.

See the [Installation guides](installation-guides/index.html) for 
instructions on installing the software available from this site.

Intel provides packages for released versions of the
[Compute Runtime](https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime),
[Media Driver](https://github.com/intel/media-driver), and
[Media SDK](https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK) projects.

See the [Technologies](technologies/index.html) section for more information,
or follow the above links to the corresponding projects hosted on GitHub.

The packages are available from package repositories at
**repositories.intel.com** for Red Hat\*, SUSE\*, and Ubuntu\*.
See the [Installation guides](installation-guides/index.html) section for
instructions on configuring the package repository and installing the GPGPU
software on various Linux distributions.
