That's the biggest advantage of Cluster MKL over regular MKL.Cluster MKL contains ScaLAPACK, BLACS, and optimized PBLAS libraries. You can download everything you need to use ScaLAPACK from Netlib but the build is complicated and the performance won't be as good.</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>Henry</DIV><P>Message Edited by hagabb on <SPAN class="date_text">01-21-2005</SPAN> <SPAN class="time_text">09:55 AM</SPAN></P> Tue, 10 Aug 2004 21:08:10 GMT Henry_G_Intel 2004-08-10T21:08:10Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-MPI-Library/Cluster-Math-Kernel-Libs/m-p/944209#M2820 Hi,<BR /><BR />I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of the new Intel Cluster Math Kernel Libs and how they compared with the regular MKL in a clustered environment.<BR /><BR />I guess there are pros and cons of each?<BR /><BR />Any practical feedback experience appreciated.<BR /><BR /><BR />Jim Tue, 10 Aug 2004 03:05:06 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-MPI-Library/Cluster-Math-Kernel-Libs/m-p/944209#M2820 intel7 2004-08-10T03:05:06Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-MPI-Library/Cluster-Math-Kernel-Libs/m-p/944210#M2821 <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>Hi Jim,</DIV> <DIV>Intel Cluster MKL is a superset of MKL, If you're using <A href="http://www.netlib.org/scalapack/" target="_blank">ScaLAPACK</A>, you definitely want <A href="http://www.intel.com/software/products/clustermkl/" target="_blank">Cluster MKL</A>.
