How to operate with integral types on MKL

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to the MKL world and I'm starting to practice with the API, but I cant found anything in the documentation about operating with integral types with MKL. For example, I will like to use the 'mkl_?omatcopy' function with a matrix of shorts, but there are only functions for double and float types.

Am i missing something? In case that there's no way to use integral types in MKL, which is the alternative?.

Thanks a lot for the support given,

Greetings.

 Alejandro, I guess you mean integer but not integral data types support. Yes, MKL supports only single and double precision for real and complex datatypes only. There is another performance library - IPP which supports mush wider range of data types. You may try to check this lib.
