Description
To improve performance of , the Memory Allocator uses per-thread memory pools where buffers may be collected for fast reuse. The
Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
mkl_free_buffers
function frees unused memory allocated by the Memory Allocator.See the Developer Guide for details.

You should call functions. In large applications, if you suspect that the memory may get insufficient, you may call this function earlier, but anticipate a drop in performance that may occur due to reallocation of buffers for subsequent calls to functions.

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.
