Intel Fortran Compiler Professional 11.0 comes with the Intel Math Kernel Library, aka "MKL", which contains mathematical and statistical routines including linear algebra (and statistical routines).

See the documentation in /opt/intel/Compiler/11.0/0xx/Documentation/mkl

As always, start with the ReleaseNotes before moving on to mkl_documentation.htm

There is a separate User Forum for MKL here: http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-math-kernel-library/

Found part of what I wanted in MKL on 10.1. I'm running under linux if that makes a difference.
Will upgrade to 11.0... make that much difference?

Thanks,
Kathy

Linux is fine.

There might be some confusion about version numbers. The 11.0 Ron mentioned is the version of the Intel Fortran Compiler Professional package which contains the latest MKL 10.1 update 1. You can also purchase MKL separately.

We have mkl 10.0.3.020 and Fortran 10.1.015. Should those have what I need?

I expect so, but you should inquire about specific MKL Features and specific routines of interest in the MKL Forum that Ron mentioned earlier here: http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-math-kernel-library/

You can also see the specific new features in MKL 10.1 (here); the complete MKL product description starts (here).
