Additionally, a number of interface libraries may be generated as a result of respective makefile operation in the interfacesdirectory (see “Using Language-Specific Interfaces with Intel® MKL” section in chapter 7).Dummy LibrariesPure layered libraries give more flexibility to choose the appropriate combination oflibraries but do not have backward compatibility by library names in link lines. Dummylibraries are introduced to provide backward compatibility with earlier version of Intel MKL,which did not use layered libraries.Dummy libraries do not contain any functionality, but only dependencies on a set of layeredlibraries. Placed in a link line, dummy libraries enable omitting dependent layered libraries,which will be linked automatically. Dummy libraries contain dependency on the followinglayered libraries (default principle):• Interface: Intel, LP64• Threading: Intel compiled• Computational: the computation library.So, if you employ the above interface and use OpenMP* threading provided by the Intel®compiler, you may not change your link lines.Accessing the Intel® Math Kernel Library DocumentationThe section details the contents of the Intel MKL documentation directory and explains howto access man pages for the library.3-19
