mkl, Qmkl

Tells the compiler to link to certain parts of the Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL).

IDE Equivalent

Windows: None

Linux: Performance Library Build Components > Use Intel(R) Math Kernel Library

Mac OS X: Libraries > Use Intel(R) Math Kernel Library

Architectures

IA-32, Intel® 64 architectures

Syntax

Linux and Mac OS X:

-mkl[=lib]

Windows:

/Qmkl[:lib]

Arguments

lib

Indicates the part of the library that the compiler should link to. Possible values are:

parallel	Tells the compiler to link using the threaded part of the Intel® MKL. This is the default if the option is specified with no `lib`.
sequential	Tells the compiler to link using the non-threaded part of the Intel® MKL.
cluster	Tells the compiler to link using the cluster part and the sequential part of the Intel® MKL.

Default

OFF	The compiler does not link to the Intel® MKL.

Description

This option tells the compiler to link to certain parts of the Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL).

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. Notice revision #20110804
