Attention

WARNING: From 8am on 30th June until 5pm on 4th July 2025, there will be no access to the Stanage HPC cluster.

We will try to minimise this downtime and it is possible that Stanage will return to service before 4th July. We will notify you by email when Stanage is back online and available for job submission.

Intel MKL

Intel’s Math Kernel Library (MKL) provides highly optimized, threaded and vectorized functions to maximize performance on each processor family. It utilises de-facto standard C and Fortran APIs for compatibility with BLAS, LAPACK and FFTW functions from other math libraries.

Usage

Intel MKL can be activated using one of the following:

module load imkl/2022.2.1
module load imkl/2022.1.0
module load imkl/2021.4.0
module load imkl/2021.2.0-iimpi-2021a
module load imkl/2020.4.304-iimpi-2020b
module load imkl/2020.1.217-iimpi-2020a

which also implicitly loads a version of the iimpi toolchain, itself being a subset of the intel toolchain. See matching intel toolchains.

IMKL-FFTW

IMKL-FFTW is a library that combines the FFTW library with IMKL to provide optimized FFT routines that are specifically optimized for Intel processors.

Intel MKL-FFTW can be activated using one of the following:

module load imkl-FFTW/2021.4.0-iimpi-2021b
module load imkl-FFTW/2022.1.0-iimpi-2022a
module load imkl-FFTW/2022.2.1-iimpi-2022b
