No OpenCL platforms reported
Windows Build Number
21382.1
WSL Version
- [X] WSL 2
- [ ] WSL 1
Kernel Version
5.10.16.3
Distro Version
Ubuntu 20.04
Other Software
Inside WSL: clinfo (for checking OpenCL platforms) CUDA 11.3 (docker container runs with NVIDIA_DISABLE_REQUIRE=1, as it otherwise thinks it's running 11.0) Docker 20.10.6, build 370c289 (with custom container) nvidia-docker2 2.5.0-1
On Windows: NVIDIA Graphics Driver for CUDA on WSL 470.14
Repro Steps
I installed the Nvidia drivers and docker as according to Nvidia's user guide I am however running an older version of nvidia-docker2 (and dependencies) as according to a forum post here
Additionally, I have also installed the CUDA on WSL driver here
Steps: Run clinfo (both in and outside of the Docker container)
Expected Behavior
clinfo should return the graphics card (in my case, GTX 970) as an OpenCL platform
Actual Behavior
clinfo reports 0 platforms available, both inside the container and just on WSL
Diagnostic Logs
cuda nvidia-container-cli glxinfo (from inside of container) glxinfo (from WSL, outside of container) wsl.etl
Yes, OpenCL is a crucial feature. We're putting together a native Linux box for testing next week due to this.
This would be wonderful for my team. We have considered rewriting everything in cuda, but that has major downsides. Until OpenCL support is released, we are stuck dual-booting.
In theory OpenCL/WSL2 may now work for Intel Integrated Graphics GPUs: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/oneapi-l0-openvino-and-opencl-coming-to-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux-for-intel-gpus/
Trying a few days ago, I didn't see any CPU platforms get registered (I am on AMD for CPU) nor any GPU (I am on Nvidia for GPU)
any info about whether NVIDIA GPU computing is planned to be supported for OpenCL?
Still waiting
same issue when trying to run a boost example program
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::wrapexcept<boost::compute::no_device_found>'
what(): No OpenCL device found
I should have checked this before wasting a whole day trying to get it to work ... still waiting

I found the solution, as it is going to be usual from now on, by asking ChatGPT. To set up OpenCL on WSL, you can follow these general steps:
- Install a Linux distribution in WSL, such as Ubuntu, and make sure it is up to date.
- Install OpenCL driver for your GPU. You can download the appropriate driver from the GPU vendor's website and follow the installation instructions.
- Install the OpenCL development package, which contains the necessary libraries, headers, and tools to develop OpenCL applications. You can do this by running the following command in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-opencl-dev
- Install an OpenCL implementation, such as the open-source OpenCL runtime from the Khronos Group called "POCL." You can install POCL by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install pocl-opencl-icd
- Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the OpenCL libraries. You can do this by adding the following line to your ~/.bashrc file:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
After completing these steps, you should be able to use OpenCL on WSL. Note that the specific steps and packages required may vary depending on the Linux distribution, GPU hardware, and OpenCL implementation you are using.
Proven working. It is needed to note that I have only achieved it with the CPU, but I am in process to be able to do it with the GPU. I attach you a picture with the results and I will keep you updated with the GPU version (as I imagine that it is the one you all are looking forward to). If you need more info just tell me!
PD: I am using python with the pyopencl library.
Yes, afaict CPU and integrated Intel GPU should work, but unclear if/how Nvidia
I have tried but failed. My guess is that drivers and versions (of Windows, WSL and packages) have to be aligned in order to make it work. And even so, I am not sure it would 100% work, so I am going to leave that tbd.
Tried on a machine with both intel CPU/GPU and an NVIDIA GPU. Works well if you want to only use the intel CPU/GPU. It kills CUDA support, even if it is installed/reinstalled properly. Can be usefull on a machine that has nothing but an intel CPU/GPU. Waiting for a solution where both opencl and cuda would work....
Also hoping for an update here. Many companies in the 3D animation industry would benefit a lot from running OpenCL-dependent programs in WSL on Nvidia/AMD hardware

Is not a myth. Hope this clear things up for everyone.
Any news?
You can get OpenCL in WSL2 now. https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime Make sure you have latest Intel Driver running on host Windows PC. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/release-notes/opencl-runtime-release-notes.html
Or you can configure POCL to make it to work. https://github.com/gyferlim/pocl
We want a general solution, not support for specific intel igpu (funny thing is that ARC doesn't even seems like in the list) or cpu runtime. That is any opencl compatible gpu on windows host should also be seen in WSL.
