Description Dmitry Afanasiev 2024-09-18 08:22:26 UTC 
Current version of lang/intel-compute-runtime is outdated - currently latest version is 24.35.30872.22, but in ports we have a version 22.24.23453.
Also this ports requires deprecated versions of llvm, but does not have support for llvm18.

It also doesn't work -- crashes immediately when I run a CUDA benchmark.

I don't maintain this anymore but updating requires non-trivial patching to build, drm-kmod < 5.15 to run (see files/patch-userptr) and partially obsolete after ports d8990eff958b. Intel is reluctant to accept FreeBSD patches[1] unless you have a business case[2]. Better ignore Intel official drivers and stick with Rusticl.

FreeBSD 13 uses drm-510-kmod where intel-compute-runtime may still work fine. Only llvm11 flavor is supposed to be stable in the current version, see https://github.com/intel/intel-graphics-compiler/blob/igc-1.0.12504.5/documentation/build_ubuntu.md#version-overview

[1] VA-API example - https://github.com/intel/media-driver/pull/819 . Instead prefer Vulkan Video which (like Rusticl) is maintained by Mesa where Intel cannot engage in gatekeeping.
