Can't Find MKL Header and LIbraries in Parallel Studio 2011

[John_Thibeault]

I downloaded the Parallel Studio 2011 a few days ago. I read that it included MKL. I have integrated with MSVC 2008. I searched the Intel folder under Program Files and could not find any references to MKL. I am using BOOST and read a note that I can bind MKL to some of the BOOST BLAS functions to improve performance. How might I do that?

John,

Did you download Intel Parallel Studio XE 2011 for Windows* and Linux* or is it Intel Parallel Studio 2011? The MKL library is part of Intel Composer XE which is included in the Intel Parallel Studio XE 2011 for Windows* and Linux* product.

Additional detail about individual products and Studio can be found at: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sdp-products/

In regards to MKL and usage with Boost uBLAS we may need to know more about what you wish to accomplish. However, you may find the following forum thread of interest: http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=62033

Additionally, information can be found:

There is also information about Boost uBLAS in the Intel Math Kernel Library for Windows* OS User's Guide 10.3 which comes with the product download or can be found on-line at:
