Linking with Computational Libraries

If you are not using the Intel(R) Math Kernel Library (Intel(R) MKL) cluster software, you need to link your application with only one computational library:

libmkl_core.a in case of static linking
libmkl_core.so in case of dynamic linking

ScaLAPACK and Cluster FFT require more computational libraries. The following table lists computational libraries that you must list on the link line for these function domains.

Function domain	IA-32 Architecture, Static Linking	IA-32 Architecture, Dynamic Linking	Intel(R) 64 Architecture, Static Linking	Intel(R) 64 Architecture, Dynamic Linking
ScaLAPACK¹	libmkl_scalapack_core.a libmkl_core.a	libmkl_scalapack_core. so libmkl_core.so	See below	See below
ScaLAPACK, LP64 interface¹	n/a²	n/a	libmkl_scalapack_lp64.a libmkl_core.a	libmkl_scalapack_lp64.so libmkl_core.so
ScaLAPACK, ILP64 interface¹	n/a	n/a	libmkl_scalapack_ilp64. a libmkl_core.a	libmkl_scalapack_ilp64. so libmkl_core.so
Cluster Fourier Transform Functions¹	libmkl_cdft_core.a libmkl_core.a	libmkl_cdft_core.so libmkl_core.so	libmkl_cdft_core.a libmkl_core.a	libmkl_cdft_core.so libmkl_core.so

¹ Add also the library with BLACS routines corresponding to the used MPI. For details, see Linking with ScaLAPACK and Cluster FFTs.
