opencl support for cpu: amd cpus not showing up as opencl devices

[goofyseeker311]

Question

what is with the amd ryzen 5000 series cpus not showing up as opencl devices on windows 11? nvidia gpus and amd igpus show up just fine in the CLDemo java program. where is the issue?

self-answer: downloading and installing the intel opencl runtime for cpu works for amd cpus too. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/intel-cpu-runtime-for-opencl-applications-with-sycl-support.html
