Parallelism in Extended Eigensolver Routines

How you achieve parallelism in Extended Eigensolver routines depends on which interface you use. Parallelism (via shared memory programming) is not
explicitly
 implemented in Extended Eigensolver routines within one node: the inner linear systems are currently solved one after another.
  • Using the Extended Eigensolver RCI interfaces, you can achieve parallelism by providing a threaded inner system solver and a matrix-matrix multiplication routine. When using the RCI interfaces, you are responsible for activating the threaded capabilities of your BLAS and LAPACK libraries most likely using the shell variable
    OMP_NUM_THREADS
    .
  • Using the predefined Extended Eigensolver interfaces, parallelism can be implicitly obtained within the shared memory version of BLAS, LAPACK or
    Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
     PARDISO. The shell variable
    MKL_NUM_THREADS
    can be used for automatically setting the number of OpenMP threads (cores) for BLAS, LAPACK, and
    Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
     PARDISO.
Optimization Notice
Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
Notice revision #20110804
This notice covers the following instruction sets: SSE2, SSE4.2, AVX2, AVX-512.
