Binary File for BLAS and LAPACK function

[Ngu_Soon_Hui]

I understand that the routine for BLAS and LAPACK are provided in the source form with MKL. But is there a binary dll version for both win 32 and win 64 for the above two libraries? I don't want to build those libraries myself, even if I could

BLAS and LAPACK are not provided as source in Intel MKL. Once you install MKL, you will have the static and dynamic libraries in the installation folder. You can use use the BLAS and LAPACK routines in your code and link with the libraries.

Vipin, may I know what is the dll for BLAS and LAPACK ( for both win 32 and win 64) called?

[VipinKumar_E_Intel]

BLAS and LAPACK are in the mkl_core_dll.lib which is a static dispatcher lib to the dynamic library, but you also need to link the interface, threading, and runtime libs. If you want to link to a single dynamic lib, that is also possible from 10.3 MKL onwards, mkl_rt.lib. I would recommend you to go through the MKL online userguide.

Refer "Linking your application with Intel MKL section".

Vipin, perhaps I should mention that I would need a dll ( instead of a lib) because I would need to call BLAS function from C# via interop.

Any ideas?

We got a good KB article published on using MKL from C#.
