Overview 1<strong>Intel</strong>® M<strong>at</strong>h Kernel Library (<strong>Intel</strong>® MKL) offers highly optimized, thread-safe m<strong>at</strong>hroutines for science, engineering, <strong>and</strong> financial applic<strong>at</strong>ions th<strong>at</strong> require maximumperformance.Technical Support<strong>Intel</strong> provides a support web site, which contains a rich repository of self help inform<strong>at</strong>ion,including getting started tips, known product issues, product err<strong>at</strong>a, license inform<strong>at</strong>ion,user forums, <strong>and</strong> more. Visit the <strong>Intel</strong>® MKL support website <strong>at</strong>http://www.intel.com/software/products/support/ .About This DocumentTo succeed in developing applic<strong>at</strong>ions with <strong>Intel</strong> MKL, inform<strong>at</strong>ion of two kinds is basicallyrequired. Reference inform<strong>at</strong>ion covers routine functionality, parameter descriptions,interfaces <strong>and</strong> calling syntax as well as return values. To get this inform<strong>at</strong>ion, see <strong>Intel</strong> MKLReference Manual first. However, a lot of questions not answered in the Reference Manualarise when you try to call <strong>Intel</strong> MKL routines from your applic<strong>at</strong>ions. For example, you needto know how the library is organized, how to configure <strong>Intel</strong> MKL for your particularpl<strong>at</strong>form <strong>and</strong> problems you are solving, how to compile <strong>and</strong> link your applic<strong>at</strong>ions with <strong>Intel</strong>MKL. You also need underst<strong>and</strong>ing of how to obtain best performance, take advantage of<strong>Intel</strong> MKL threading <strong>and</strong> memory management. Other questions may deal with specifics ofroutine calls, for example, passing parameters in different programming languages orcoding inter-language routine calls. You may be interested in the ways of estim<strong>at</strong>ing <strong>and</strong>improving comput<strong>at</strong>ion accuracy. These <strong>and</strong> similar issues make up <strong>Intel</strong> MKL usageinform<strong>at</strong>ion.This document focuses on the usage inform<strong>at</strong>ion needed to call <strong>Intel</strong> MKL routines fromuser's applic<strong>at</strong>ions running on the Linux* OS. Linux usage of <strong>Intel</strong> MKL has its particularfe<strong>at</strong>ures, which are described in this guide, along with those th<strong>at</strong> do not depend upon aparticular OS.1-1
