Intel's Mkl Library Mac

Intel
  • With Intel MKL for Mac OS, you can easily port your applications to Mac OS by using the same library API and functions available for Windows and Linux. Development Environments Intel MKL is easily used and integrated with popular development tools and environments.
  • 9 rows  Dec 16, 2019  In the parallel mode, Intel MKL utilizes multiple processor cores available on.

Before you begin using Intel Math Kernel Library for Linux, complete the following steps. Install the product in the directory. Check that the mkl directory subdirectory of was created. To keep multiple versions of the library installed on your system, update your build scripts to point to the correct one.

Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) helps you achieve maximum performance with a math computing library of highly optimized, extensively threaded routines. The library has C and Fortran interfaces for most routines. You can also find comprehensive support for several math operations including:

  • Linear algebra
  • Fast Fourier transforms (FFT)
  • Vector math
  • Direct and iterative sparse solvers
  • Random number generators
Library

Step 1: Install Intel MKL

  • From an application suite:

    Intel MKL installs as a part of these suites:

    • Intel® Parallel Studio XE (download from this page)

  • From a repository:

    Download Intel MKL from one of these repositories.

  • As a standalone package:

    Intel MKL is also provided as a standalone package under the Community Licensing Program.

Step 2: Select a function/routine

Select a function or routine from the Intel MKL library that is best suited for your problem. Use these resources:

The Developer Guide contains detailed information on several topics including:

  • Compiling and linking applications
  • Building custom DLLs
  • Threading
  • Memory management

The Developer Reference (in C and Fortran formats) contains detailed descriptions of the functions and interfaces for all library domains.

Use the LAPACK Function Finding Advisor to explore LAPACK routines that are useful for a particular problem. For example, if you specify an operation as:

  • Routine type: Computational
  • Computational problem: orthogonal factorization
  • Matrix type: general
  • Operation: perform QR factorization
  • Additional property of the operation: factorize without pivoting

The advisor displays the descriptions of several routines that match the requested operation. You can compare the results and select an appropriate routine for the operation.

Step 3: Link your code

Library

Use the Intel MKL Link Line Advisor to configure the link command according to your program features.

Optimization Notice

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
