The Intel® Math Kernel Library fully supports LAPACK 3.1 set of computational, driver, auxiliary and utility routines.
The original versions of LAPACK from which that part of Intel MKL was derived can be obtained from http://www.netlib.org/lapack/index.html. The authors of LAPACK are E. Anderson, Z. Bai, C. Bischof, S. Blackford, J. Demmel, J. Dongarra, J. Du Croz, A. Greenbaum, S. Hammarling, A. McKenney, and D. Sorensen.
The LAPACK routines can be divided into the following groups according to the operations they perform:
Routines for solving systems of linear equations, factoring and inverting matrices, and estimating condition numbers (see LAPACK Routines: Linear Equations).
Routines for solving least squares problems, eigenvalue and singular value problems, and Sylvester's equations (see LAPACK Routines: Least Squares and Eigenvalue Problems).
Auxiliary and utility routines used to perform certain subtasks, common low-level computation or related tasks (see LAPACK auxiliary and utility routines).
Starting from release 8.0, Intel MKL also supports the Fortran 95 interface to LAPACK computational and driver routines. This interface provides an opportunity for simplified calls of LAPACK routines with fewer required arguments.
