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
