Conditional Numerical Reproducibility Control
The CNR mode of ensures bitwise reproducible results from run to run of functions on a fixed number of threads for a specific Intel instruction set architecture (ISA) under the following conditions:

Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
- Calls tooccur in a single executableIntel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
- The number of computational threads used by the library does not change in the run

The support functions enable you to configure the CNR mode and also provide information on the current and optimal CNR branch on your system.
Usage Examples for CNR Support Functions illustrate usage of these functions.
Call the functions that define the behavior of CNR before any of the math library functions that they control.

Although you can configure the CNR mode using either the support functions or the environment variables, the functions offer more flexible configuration and control than the environment variables. Settings specified by the functions take precedence over the settings specified by the environment variables.
Use in the CNR mode only in case a need for bitwise reproducible results is critical. Otherwise, run as usual to avoid performance degradation.

While you can supply unaligned input and output data to functions running in the CNR mode, use of aligned data is recommended. Refer toReproducibility Conditions for more details.

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.
