[Gennady_F_Intel]

Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) is a highly optimized, extensively threaded, and thread-safe library of mathematical functions for engineering, scientific, and financial applications that require maximum performance.

Intel MKL 11.3 Update 2 packages are now ready for download. Intel MKL is available as part of the Intel® Parallel Studio XE and Intel® System Studio . Please visit the Intel® Math Kernel Library Product Page.

Intel® MKL 11.3 Update 2 Bug fixes

New Features in MKL 11.3 Update 2

• Introduced mkl_finalize function to facilitate usage models when Intel MKL dynamic libraries or third party dynamic libraries are linked with Intel MKL statically are loaded and unloaded explicitly
• Compiler offload mode now allows using Intel MKL dynamic libraries
• Added Intel TBB threading for all BLAS level-1 functions
• Intel MKL PARDISO:
  • Added support for block compressed sparse row (BSR) matrix storage format
  • Added optimization for matrixes with variable block structure
  • Added support for mkl_progress in Parallel Direct Sparse Solver for Clusters
  • Added cluster_sparse_solver_64 interface
• Introduced sorting algorithm in Summary Statistics

     What's New in Intel MKL 11.3:

• Batch GEMM Functions
• Introduced new 2-stage (inspector-executor) APIs for Level 2 and Level 3 sparse BLAS functions
• Introduced MPI wrappers that allow users to build custom BLACS library for most MPI implementations
• Cluster components (Cluster Sparse Solver, Cluster FFT, ScaLAPACK) are now available for OS X*
• Extended the Intel MKL memory manager to improve scaling on large SMP systems
