https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-oneAPI-Math-Kernel-Library/How-to-reduce-the-size-of-executable-using-MKL-FFT-functions/m-p/769186#M472 How do I reduce the software bloat resulting from MKL? I am using the FFT functions (DFTI_...) and statically link using Visual Studio 10. My old MKL library gave me an exe of 400KB but using MKL 10.3 I get an exec file of 25 MB. This is far too big for internet distribution.<BR />How do I only link the MKL functions I actually use?<BR />Any help would be most gratefully received.<BR /> Fri, 30 Dec 2011 11:27:05 GMT Deleted_U_Intel 2011-12-30T11:27:05Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-oneAPI-Math-Kernel-Library/How-to-reduce-the-size-of-executable-using-MKL-FFT-functions/m-p/769186#M472 How do I reduce the software bloat resulting from MKL?

Therefore they are so big in size.<BR />What type of precisions you are looking for DFT transforms? </P><P>Do you need both single and double precision DFT transforms?<BR />In case of one precision, you can reduce DLL size by selecting correct names in export list. See comments in DFT example list.</P><P>Regards,</P><P>Naveen Gv<BR /><BR /></P> Wed, 04 Jan 2012 05:00:22 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-oneAPI-Math-Kernel-Library/How-to-reduce-the-size-of-executable-using-MKL-FFT-functions/m-p/769187#M473 Naveen_G_Intel 2012-01-04T05:00:22Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-oneAPI-Math-Kernel-Library/How-to-reduce-the-size-of-executable-using-MKL-FFT-functions/m-p/769188#M474 <P>Hi Stuart,</P><P>Regarding Static linking issue, how you are linking?
