Installing MKL on Darwin

[Wesley_M_]

Allow me to preface what I'm say with this: I develop primarily in Windows, not Unix or Mac. I know more than nothing (a little VI, basic commands, etc) but I am a solid Unix novice.

That being said, our department has a cluster of X-Server blades running Darwin that we are trying to get MKL working on. I got an evaluation copy of MKL for Linux that we have tried to install, but following the installation instructions stops working when running the install script (the install script can't find ldconfig, which isn't on Darwin). So, my question is as follows:

1. Am I even using the correct version of MKL?

2. How do I get MKL installed on this machine?

Remember, you are talking to a Unix novice, so please be patient, speak slowly, and use small words (so to speak). Thanks!

Hi,

As I know, MKL has three different install packages:

- for Windows

- for Linux

- for OS X (Darwin and Snow Leopard)

Therefore, please use correct MKL install package

[Gennady_F_Intel · Accepted solution]

Hi Ross,

What version of MKL did you try to install?

It seems to me you have to install OS X version instead of Linux version which you tried.

I have to mention one important note about MKL version for OS X : this version of MKL doesn't contains the cluster functionality ( ScaLapack and ClusterFFT).

Hello,

Linux installer does not support Darwin OS. It is not the only question of availability of system tools but also binary compatibility problem. So the Linux installer will not work at Darwin at all.

If the Darwin inyour case is a driver for Mac OS, so pleaseuse proper MKL Mac OS installer. If not, please provide an MKL version you would like to install, we will try to find a workaround.

Thank you,

- Nikolay

Good news - the OS X version works! Apparently, there is an OS X interface to the cluster that I, as a user, do not have access to. Now that our sys admin has installed the library, I have successfully built and run the symmetric matrix Pardiso example using the icc compiler as well as the g++ compiler. Thanks for your help.

--Ross

One thing I would note - I know it is mentioned a few places around Intel's site, but it created a little confusion for me having the liomp5 libraries in a location different than it is in the Windows and Linux version.

Hello Ross,

Just for your information, for Intel Compiler Professional Edition installation libiomp5 library placed in compiler 'lib' directory for all platforms. It is placed inside MKL 'lib' directory for standalone MKL package only. This kind of package doesn't exist for Mac OS. MKL for Mac OS can be installed only in bundle with Intel Compiler Professional Edition.

Thanks,

Artem

need to clarify one detail - the last standalone package for Mac OS* X is 10.0 Update 5. Since the version 10.1 version of MKL for MacOS* X disrtibute in bundle with Intel CPE.
