Bundling MKL with my application (what is the minimal set of dll's?)

[Roy_Tal]

Hi,

Recently, we've decided to switch to MKL and use functionality from it in our .Net application (we mainly write with C#). We have downloaded the 10.3 Beta version.

At this point in time we are using only two functions (cblas_dgemm , clapack_dgelss) .

When I look in the redistributable folder I see a staggering 139 MB.

I would like to know the minimal set of dll's that I would need to bundle with my application.

My application will use the multi-threading version. Trying to use depends.exe or dumpbin.exe (according to http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/some-more-additional-tips-how-to-call-mkl-from-your-c-code/) did not provide me with useful information.

Please advise,

Please refer our article on using MKL from .NET environment, which can be found from below url.

There is also an example posted in http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/using-intel-mkl-in-your-c-program/.

By the way, both of these were mentioned at the bottom of the article you mentioned, in case if you missed it.

Hi,

MKL has so called builder (see /tools/builder)to build MKL custom library which will contain just subset of MKL functions (in your case cblas_dgemm , clapack_dgelss) for your application.
Try makefile there and refer to MKL documentations
