This Reference Manual documents Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) 11.2 release.
The following function domains were updated with new functions, enhancements to the existing functionality, or improvements to the existing documentation:
Updates to Sparse Solvers routines include:
The Sparse Solvers routines include the Parallel Direct Sparse Solver for Clusters for solving large linear systems of equations with sparse matrices on clusters. See Intel Math Kernel Library Parallel Direct Sparse Solver for Clusters for more information.
New functionality allows you to store internal Intel MKL PARDISO structures to a file and later restore them. See Intel MKL PARDISO Routines for more information.
The Intel MKL PARDISO iparm parameter allows you to not automatically make iterative refinements when perturbed pivots are obtained during numerical factorization. See
iparm(21)for more information.
Support Functions were updated with new functions:
mkl_set_env_mode, which sets up the mode that ignores environment settings specific to Intel MKL.
mkl_verbose, which enables or disables Intel MKL Verbose mode.
mkl_set_exit_handler, which sets the custom handler of fatal errors. See Handling Fatal Errors for more details.
mkl_mic_set_resource_limit and mkl_mic_get_resource_limit for computations in the Automatic Offload mode to manage the fractional amount of Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor computational resources that the calling process can use.
The function mkl_set_interface_layer was updated to support GNU* interfaces.
The manual has also been updated to reflect other enhancements to the product, and minor improvements have been made.
Additionally, minor updates have been made to correct errors in the manual.
