Hi,
I was browsing the following page which lists the Clocks Per Element timing for all the VML functions.
http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/mkl/vml3/functions/_performanceall.htmlDoes anyone else think the timings for the Complex functions seem suspect?
E.g.
Real Add : 0.79
Complex Add : 19.11
Surely Complex Add should only be 2x slower?

Complex add/sub functions support FP overflow error handling, while real add/sub functions do not guarantee that. This is the reason for difference in performance.
