Contents

Optional Component

Name

Installed by Default

mkl_rt.dll

Single Dynamic Library for C/Fortran functionality

Instead of multiple libraries, the user can link to one mkl_rt library and select interface and threading via function or environment variable.

   

Threading Layer

     

mkl_intel_thread.dll

Dynamic OpenMP threading library for the Intel compilers

All Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) function domains support Intel OpenMP threading.

   

mkl_tbb_thread.dll

Dynamic Intel TBB threading library for the Intel compilers

All oneMKL function domains support Intel TBB threading.

Intel TBB threading support

Yes

mkl_sequential.dll

Dynamic sequential library

All oneMKL function domains support sequential mode.

   

Computational Layer

     

mkl_core.dll

All non–architecture-specific implementation and library dispatcher for dynamic load of architecture-specific kernels.

Read more about how to work with mkl_enable_instructions and mkl_cbwr_set in the developer reference.

mkl_core.dll is required for any link configurations. You don't need to link kernel-specific libraries; just link mkl_core.

   

mkl_p4.dll

Pentium® 4 processor kernel library

All oneMKL function domains except VM/VS/DF are presented in this library.

   

mkl_p4m3.dll

Kernel library for Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.2 (Intel® SSE4.2) enabled processors.

All oneMKL function domains except VM/VS/DF are presented in this library.

   

mkl_avx2.dll

Kernel library for Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel® AVX2) enabled processors.

All oneMKL function domains except VM/VS/DF are presented in this library.

   

mkl_avx512.dll

Kernel library for Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX-512) enabled processors.

All oneMKL function domains except VM/VS/DF are presented in this library.

   

mkl_vml_p4.dll

Vector Mathematics (VM)/Vector Statistics (VS)/Data Fitting (DF) part of Pentium® 4 processor kernel

   

mkl_vml_p4m3.dll

VM/VS/DF for Intel® SSE4.2 enabled processors

   

mkl_vml_avx2.dll

VM/VS/DF optimized for Intel® AVX2 enabled processors

   

mkl_vml_avx512.dll

VM/VS/DF optimized for Intel® AVX-512 enabled processors

   

mkl_vml_ia.dll

VM/VS/DF default kernel for newer Intel® architecture processors

   

libmkl_vml_cmpt.dll

VM/VS/DF library for conditional numerical reproducibility

   

libimalloc.dll

Dynamic library to support renaming of memory functions

   
NOTE:

In case any functionality from a specific library is needed, this library should be added to the link line. Details about what should be linked in different cases can be found in the oneMKL Link Line Advisor.
