Using the Single Dynamic Library

You can simplify your link line through the use of the
Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
 Single Dynamic Library (SDL).
To use SDL, place
libmkl_rt.so
 on your link line. For example: 
icс application.c -lmkl_rt
SDL enables you to select the interface and threading library for
Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
 at run time. By default, linking with SDL provides:
  • Intel LP64 interface on systems based on the Intel® 64 architecture
  • Intel interface on systems based on the IA-32 architecture
  • Intel threading
To use other interfaces or change threading preferences, including use of the sequential version of
Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
, you need to specify your choices using functions or environment variables as explained in sectionDynamically Selecting the Interface and Threading Layer.
