+# llama.cpp/example/sycl
+
+This example program provide the tools for llama.cpp for SYCL on Intel GPU.
+
+## Tool
+
+|Tool Name| Function|Status|
+|-|-|-|
+|ls-sycl-device| List all SYCL devices with ID, compute capability, max work group size, etc.|Support|
+
+### ls-sycl-device
+
+List all SYCL devices with ID, compute capability, max work group size, etc.
+
+1. Build the llama.cpp for SYCL for all targets.
+
+2. Enable oneAPI running environment
+
+```
+source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
+```
+
+3. Execute
+
+```
+./build/bin/ls-sycl-device
+```
+
+Check the ID in startup log, like:
+
+```
+found 4 SYCL devices:
+  Device 0: Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics,	compute capability 1.3,
+    max compute_units 512,	max work group size 1024,	max sub group size 32,	global mem size 16225243136
+  Device 1: Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Device,	compute capability 1.2,
+    max compute_units 24,	max work group size 67108864,	max sub group size 64,	global mem size 67065057280
+  Device 2: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K,	compute capability 3.0,
+    max compute_units 24,	max work group size 8192,	max sub group size 64,	global mem size 67065057280
+  Device 3: Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics,	compute capability 3.0,
+    max compute_units 512,	max work group size 1024,	max sub group size 32,	global mem size 16225243136
+
+```
+
+|Attribute|Note|
+|-|-|
+|compute capability 1.3|Level-zero running time, recommended |
+|compute capability 3.0|OpenCL running time, slower than level-zero in most cases|
