Hi,

What version should be preferred? My interest is in obtaining stable and fast solution for moderate size linear system, under multi processor runs.

In all likelihood, either

In all likelihood, either will do fine, and both will probably give you the same results on any but the most recent processors.

+ two my cents. MKL 2017 u4
