Fortran 95 Interfaces to LAPACK and BLAS

Fortran 95 interfaces are compiler-dependent. Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library provides the interface libraries and modules precompiled with the Intel® Fortran compiler. Additionally, the Fortran 95 interfaces and wrappers are delivered as sources. (For more information, seeCompiler-dependent Functions and Fortran 90 Modules). If you are using a different compiler, build the appropriate library and modules with your compiler and link the library as a user's library:

  1. Go to the respective directory <mkl directory>/interfaces/blas95 or <mkl directory>/interfaces/lapack95
  2. Type:
    • make libintel64 [interface=lp64|ilp64] INSTALL_DIR=<user dir>

    IMPORTANT:

    The parameter INSTALL_DIR is required.

As a result, the required library is built and installed in the <user dir>/lib directory, and the .mod files are built and installed in the <user dir>/include/<arch>/[/{lp64|ilp64}] directory, where <arch>is {intel64}.

By default, the ifort compiler is assumed. You may change the compiler with an additional parameter of make:
FC=<compiler>
.

For example, the command

make libintel64 FC=pgf95 INSTALL_DIR=<userpgf95 dir> interface=lp64

builds the required library and .mod files and installs them in subdirectories of <userpgf95 dir>.

To delete the library from the building directory, type:

  • make cleanintel64 [interface=lp64|ilp64] INSTALL_DIR=<user dir>

  • make clean INSTALL_DIR=<user_dir>
CAUTION:

Even if you have administrative rights, avoid setting INSTALL_DIR=../.. or INSTALL_DIR=<mkl directory> in a build or clean command above because these settings replace or delete the Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library prebuilt Fortran 95 library and modules.
