0.1.0
This release introduces Intel® Open Middleware Xe (Intel® OMIX) 0.1.0 that provides a streamlined way to install GPU drivers together with a set of optimized software components for AI frameworks and high-performance computing (HPC), including:
Intel® Graphics Compute Runtime for oneAPI Level Zero and OpenCL™ Driver
Intel SYCL compiler
Intel performance libraries for compute
There are two variants of Intel OMIX:
intel-omix: Contains all runtime drivers and libraries required to run PyTorch applications.intel-omix-dev: Contains all components required to build and run PyTorch applications.
To install Intel OMIX, follow the Installing Intel® Open Middleware Xe guide.
Requirements
Intel OMIX is currently supported for the following GPUs:
Intel® Arc™ Pro B50 Graphics
Intel® Arc™ Pro B60 Graphics
Intel® Arc™ Pro B65 Graphics
Intel® Arc™ Pro B70 Graphics
Supported operating systems with a compatible kernel version:
Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.4
Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 with the 6.17 Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel
Components
Intel OMIX includes the following components:
Intel® Deep Neural Networks Library (oneDNN) 2025.3.0, Release Notes
Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) 2025.3.1, Release Notes
Intel® Collective Communications Library (oneCCL) 2021.17.2, Release Notes
The runtime variant of Intel OMIX contains only the compiler runtime and the runtime components of the libraries. It does not include development tools or headers that are available in the developer variant.
Known Issues
The Intel® Collective Communications Library (oneCCL) version included (2021.17.2) does not include full optimization for PCIe collective communications. Multi-GPU use cases will not run at full performance.
Licensing
Intel OMIX is distributed as a metapackage under its own MIT license, while each included component remains subject to its own separate license terms.
