# intel-cmplr-lib-ur — Intel® oneAPI Unified Runtime Libraries package

License: unclear · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 699.0K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Intel-cmplr-lib-ur is a runtime library package that provides the foundational shared libraries for Intel's oneAPI ecosystem. It acts as a common layer that enables device-agnostic interfaces—particularly for DPC++ and other compiler-specific runtimes—to work across diverse hardware and software platforms. The package is designed to be installed alongside the oneAPI common licensing package and compiler-specific runtime modules.

This is a low-level infrastructure component rather than a user-facing tool. Developers typically install it as a dependency when working with Intel oneAPI compilers or when deploying applications built with DPC++ that need unified runtime support. It depends on the umf runtime and is distributed as platform-specific wheels for Windows and Linux (manylinux).

Use it for:

- Installing as a dependency when deploying DPC++ applications that require unified runtime support across platforms
- Setting up Intel oneAPI compiler environments where common libraries must be available before compiler-specific runtimes
- Providing runtime support for heterogeneous computing workloads targeting both CPUs and accelerators via oneAPI

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides shared runtime libraries for Intel oneAPI, enabling unified device-agnostic interfaces across software platforms and compiler runtimes.

Yes, if you are building or deploying Intel oneAPI applications or DPC++ code. This is a required infrastructure component for that ecosystem. However, verify that your target platform (Windows or manylinux x86_64) is supported and that you understand the Intel proprietary license terms. Not relevant for non-Intel compiler toolchains.

## Install

pip install intel-cmplr-lib-ur
uv add intel-cmplr-lib-ur
poetry add intel-cmplr-lib-ur

## Installing intel-cmplr-lib-ur

Before you install: Medium install friction due to platform-specific wheels (manylinux and Windows only). Package is actively maintained with recent releases, though repository details are not publicly available.

License in practice: Licensed under Intel End User License Agreement for Developer Tools with unclear treatment classification. Users should review the proprietary license terms before deployment, particularly in commercial or redistributed contexts.

Quickstart:

pip install intel-cmplr-lib-ur
# Typically installed as a dependency; direct usage is rare.
# Verify installation alongside oneAPI licensing and compiler-specific runtimes.

Requires Windows (win_amd64) or Linux (manylinux_2_28_x86_64); no other architectures are supported by the published wheels.

Verify before relying:

- Whether this package requires system-level Intel oneAPI toolkit installation or functions as a standalone runtime
- Compatibility with non-x86_64 architectures beyond the documented manylinux and Windows platforms
- Whether the umf runtime dependency is bundled or must be installed separately
