I recently found that version 7.1 of the IMSL libraries from Rogue Wave provided support for use of Nvidia GPU's,  Does anyone know when the Intel ver of IMSL 7.1 will be available and if it will support use of a GPU?  

Thanks!

NVidia GPU support is not included in the IMSL available from Intel. Currently we offer IMSL 7.0.2 and haven't been provided with newer versions yet by Rogue Wave Software. My expectation is that if/when we do get a newer IMSL version, it will also not include NVidia GPU support.

Hi Steve,  - Thanks for the update, A bit disappointing, but understandable...  Probably not a big deal, but I'm still using the 7.01 version, Is there a download link for the 7.02 version?   I was looking around yesterday and the link I found pointed to the same file I had from about a year ago "w_fcompxe_imsl_sp1.0.024.exe".

Thanks Again-Scott

That's current and is 7.02 as far as I know.

Scott Graham: You can run the example code at http://docs.roguewave.com/imsl/fortran/7.0/math/docs/verml.htm to verify the IMSL library's own notion of the version number. That page contains at the top "The output is omitted because the results are system dependent", but goes on to give a sample output at the bottom of the page.

VERML isn't really all that useful - most of the info it gives comes from environment variables set up by the IMSL command line setup script (which doesn't run if you run from Visual Studio.) In any event, we got only one version of 7.x. I have an inquiry in about when we'll be getting their latest version, but it won't be in time for the 16.0 initial release.

The install directory it created is labeled VNI\imsl\fnl701, so I assume its the 7.01 version.

Ok, I guess it is 7.0.1.
