Language Interfaces Support, by Function Domain

The following table shows language interfaces that Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) provides for each function domain. However, Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library routines can be called from other languages using mixed-language programming. SeeMixed-language Programming with the Intel Math Kernel Library for an example of how to call Fortran routines from C/C++.
