Intel MKL

The Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) is a highly optimized library for performing mathematical operations such as matrix multiplication, Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT), and vector operations. On SeaWulf, multiple versions are provided to accommodate different application needs. The library supports multi-threading, which can improve performance on parallel systems.

Tip: load modules inside your SLURM job script, not just on the login node, so compute nodes see the same environment. Verify with which after loading.

Example usage

Load an Intel MKL module

module load intel/mkl/64/2020/20.0.2

Compile a program against MKL

icc -o my_program my_program.c -lmkl

Availability

Intel MKL is available on: SeaWulf, ClinWulf.
