Programming with MKL?

[liubing84]

Questions:

First : If I have installed MKL 10.0, There is no need for me to use IMSL, is that right?

Second : I want to use MKL to solve a linear equation A*x=b, and this is a general one. My operation environment is: Windows XP, VS2005 plus Intel Fortran 10.1 plus MKL, and I follow the procedure to configure:

1 Select Project>Properties>Linker>General

2 For Additional Library Directories, add the architecture-specific ' lib' folder,

3 Select Project>Properties>Linker>Input

4 In the Additional Dependencies line, insert mkl_c.lib libguide.lib

5 Select Project>Properties>Fortran>General

6 For Additional Include Directories, add the' include ' folder

Is the above procedure right? Do i need to ' include ' something at the top of my codes? What should it be?

Thank you for your kind attention!

You haven't indicated any requirement for IMSL in your usage; unless you require special IMSL functions, I think we would recommend using MKL directly.

mkl.h is a C include file. Much of bentomkins advice appears to be predicated on the assumption you will use C++.

For Fortran 77, there are optional include files (for checking call syntax). For the Fortran 95 interface, the corresponding USE modules from the Fortran include directory are required.

Thank you very much! Iuse Fortran to code.

Ben! Thanks for the wealth of information.

As to what you should put at the top of your code, there are many example programs in the examples directory of MKL. Perusing the source files might prove helpful.
