Start optimizing your compute-intensive application

Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) is a computing math library of highly optimized, extensively threaded routines for applications that require maximum performance. Intel MKL provides comprehensive support for linear algebra, fast Fourier transforms (FFT), vector math, direct and iterative sparse solvers, random number generators, and more. Intel MKL offers both C and Fortran interfaces for most routines.

To use Intel MKL effectively:

<install_dir> is the installation directory, by default, it is:


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.
