Linking with Computational Libraries

If you are not using the Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) ScaLAPACK and Cluster Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT), you need to link your application with only one computational library, depending on the linking method:

Static Linking

Dynamic Linking

mkl_core.lib

mkl_core_dll.lib

Computational Libraries for Applications that Use ScaLAPACK or Cluster FFT

ScaLAPACK and Cluster FFT require more computational libraries, which may depend on your architecture.

† Also add the library with BLACS routines corresponding to the MPI used.

The following table lists computational libraries for Intel® 64 or Intel® Many Integrated Core Architecture applications that use ScaLAPACK or Cluster FFT.

Computational Libraries for the Intel® 64 or Intel® Many Integrated Core Architecture
