MKL

The Intel Math Kernel Library contains highly optimized and extensively threaded routines for engineering and scientific applications.

It includes linear algebra routines (BLAS, LAPACK, ScaLAPACK, and sparse solvers), FFTs, a vector math library, vector random number generators, and LINPACK benchmark routines.

Installed on pople, salk, and warhol.

Pople and salk usage

Create a batch job which:

• Sets up the use of the module command in a batch job. For example, if you use the csh:

  source /usr/share/modules/init/csh
  source /etc/csh.cshrc.psc
  

• Loads the mkl module

  module load imkl

• Includes a compilation command like:

  ifort source.f -L${MKL_PATH} -lmkl -lguide -lpthread 
  

Warhol usage

Create a batch job which:

• Loads the mkl module

  module load mkl

• Includes a compilation command like:

  gfortran source.f -L${MKL_PATH} -lmkl -lguide -lpthread 
  

Example jobs

See some example jobs.
