How do I link oneMKL with Visual Studio 2019

[Nikhil_T]

I have started to used oneMKL in VS 2019. I changed the setting in solution properties of  Use oneMKL to Parallel. However when I #include "mkl_sycl.hpp", it says cannot open source file "mkl_sycl.hpp".

Hi,

Kindly specify your oneAPI toolkit version, OS, and VS19 version. Please note that some of the header files have been moved (to a different directory) or renamed in the latest oneAPI release.

Give it a try with the latest MKL code samples located under:

oneAPI_root/mkl/latest/examples/examples_sycl.zip

You may rely on the Intel MKL link line advisor tool to check what all libraries are recommended for your application:

How do I use the link line? Is it for the CLI execution?

Also, how do I use the oneMKL in parallel mode in VS 2019?  My Version for VS 2019 is 16.8.3.

Hi,

To set MKL mode to parallel:

• Open the property pages of your project.
• Select Intel libraries for oneAPI on the left column and double click on use oneMKL under the Intel oneMKL tab to change the MKL mode to parallel/sequential/cluster.

oneMKL may also require additional library dependencies for your application to run. Kindly include these additional dependencies as suggested by the link line advisor tool.

To include additional dependencies:

• Open the property pages of your project.
• Select the Linker tab on your left column and click on Input.
• Type in the additional dependency libraries. (mkl_core_dll.lib, mkl_tbb_thread_dll.lib)

Thanks,

Rahul
