A way to test APPs without hardware?
Hey! I am the main developer of AQUAgpusph, a rather famous SPH solver.
I have received a couple of reports about issues on Intel GPUs. Unfortunately, I have not hardware to test it. I wonder if you might provide sort of a solution for these situations.
Hi @sanguinariojoe could you elaborate more on what you are expecting in non-HW mode?
Well, an Intel GPU emulator would be ideal, but I found nothing like that. Or maybe a way to run another GPU (AMD for instance) with OneAPI (which sounds even harder).
Or maybe Intel has sort of servers to let developers test their apps on Intel GPUs. A CI/CD server or something like?
I do not know. I do not need really need big performance, I just need an OneAPI OpenCL environment to test my app.

There's "devcloud", but I've never used it myself: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/devcloud/overview.html
And the HW there (Data Center GPUs) may differ from what your users have, including drivers needed for them: https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/driver/installation-lts2.html
Are those user issues on integrated or discrete GPUs, or both?
(Integrated ones may be easier to find as most Intel laptops & NUCs have one. Unless HW is very recent, drivers should come pre-installed in Linux distros, but one still needs to install OneAPI stuff on top of that.)
