MKL and TBB pip packages only available on MacOS 10.15+

[jeremybouny]

Hello,

Both oneMKL and oneTBB are officially compatible with MacOS 10.14. Moreover, both of them also have pip packages.

I would like to use the pip packages "tbb", "tbb-devel", "mkl" and "mkl-devel", however they all are only available for MacOS 10.15+.

It looks like a mistake, could it be possible to have the packages available on all the officially supported systems (i.e also MacOS 10.14)?

Hi,

https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/installing-the-intel-distribution-for-python-and-intel-performance-libraries-with-pip-and.html

In the above link under the platform availability, I could see that the supported macOS version is 10.12.

Could you try installing those packages via pip and let me know if you face any issues?

Thanks,

Rahul

Hello,

In fact, I would like to install the 2021.1.1 version of MKL.

If I am forcing this version, it is only working starting from MacOS 10.15.

On previous version, it is failing, even on MacOS 10.14, on which the 2021.1.1 version is compatible.

$> pip install mkl==2021.1.1
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mkl==2021.1.1

 If I am not specifying the version, there is indeed a mkl package downloaded but this is an old version.
