mkl under netlib-java under Scala Breeze, on Windows

Marc_R_ — Thu, 29 Dec 2016 22:30:27 GMT

I'm looking for advice to configure the use of MKL under netlib-java, under Scala Breeze, on Windows 7.

How do configure netlib-java to use MKL?

How do I know that I'm actually using it?

Thanks, --Marc

Okay, I answered my own

Okay, I answered my own question after a bunch of trial and error.

Added C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries\windows\redist\intel64_win\mkl to my PATH.
Set runtime JVM param -Dcom.github.fommil.netlib.NativeSystemBLAS.natives=mkl_rt.dll [Which resides in the above directory]
Code looks as follows:

package org.mriehm.breeze1

import breeze.linalg.DenseVector
import com.github.fommil.netlib.BLAS
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory

/**
  * Created by mriehm on 29/12/2016.
  */
object Breeze1 {
  def main(args:Array[String]): Unit = {
    println("Init logging...")
    System.setProperty(org.slf4j.impl.SimpleLogger.DEFAULT_LOG_LEVEL_KEY, "TRACE");
    val log = LoggerFactory.getLogger("main")
    log.trace("Starting...")
    val b = BLAS.getInstance()
    log.trace(s"BLAS = $b")
    val v = DenseVector(1,2,3,4)
    log.trace("Ending.")
  }
}

Output from Idea is as follows:

how setup the same for linux machine?

Hi George,

Hi George,

How about copy the processing under linux?

source /opt/intel/mkl/mklvars.sh intel64

2. Set runtime JVM param -Dcom.github.fommil.netlib.NativeSystemBLAS.natives=libmkl_rt.so [Which resides in the above directory]
3. then test your code.

Best Regards,
Ying

Okay, I answered my own
