Intel's Math Kernel Library (MKL) is a library of optimized, math routines for science, engineering, and financial applications. Core math functions include BLAS, LAPACK, ScaLAPACK, Sparse Solvers, Fast Fourier Transforms and Vector Math.
Developer: Intel
Platforms: NEC Nehalem Cluster
Category: Numerical Library

Fortran 95 Interfaces and Wrappers for LAPACK, BLAS, etc.

The MKL fortran interfaces must be build seperately because different compiler return complex values differently. Due to the large number of combinations occuring from this the user has to do this on his own.

Example

Here is a simple example how to compile an application with the Fortran 95 interface and wrappers for BLAS95. You should have build the BLAS95 Interfaces already as described above.

File: example_blas.f90
 program example_blas
   implicit none
   real, dimension(3) :: a = (/2.,1.,-1./), b = (/5., -2., 1.5/)
   real               :: c, sdot
   real(kind=8)       :: d, dnrm2
   ! *** skalar product ***
   ! sdot: s ... REAL, dot ... skalar product
   ! 1. Argument  ... dimensions of the vectors
   ! 2. und 4. A. ... the vectors
   ! 3. und 5. A. ... increment (here 1)
   c = sdot(3, a, 1, b, 1)
   write(*,*) c
   ! Result: 6.500000
   ! *** norm of the vectors ***
   ! dnrm2: d ... DOUBLE PRECISION, nrm2 ... (euklidian) norm
   ! 1. Argument: dimensions of the vectors
   ! 2. A.:       vektor
   ! 3. A.:       increment (here 1)
   d = dnrm2(3, dble(a), 1)
   write(*,*) d
   ! Result: 2.44948974278318
 end program example_blas


Compile this with

ifort example_blas.f90 -L$HOME/lib -lmkl_blas95 $MKLPATH/libmkl_intel_lp64.a -Wl,
--start-group $MKLPATH/libmkl_intel_thread.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_core.a -Wl,--end-group
-L$MKLPATH -liomp5 -o example_blas
