To build a custom shared object, use the following command:
make target [<options>]
The following table lists possible values of target and explains what the command does for each value:
|
Value |
Comment |
|---|---|
| libia32 |
The command builds static libraries for processors that use the IA-32 architecture. The builder uses the interface, threading, and computational libraries. |
| libintel64 |
The command builds static libraries for processors that use the Intel® 64 architecture. The builder uses the interface, threading, and computational libraries. |
| soia32 |
The command builds dynamic libraries for processors that use the IA-32 architecture. The builder uses the Single Dynamic Library (SDL) libmkl_rt.so. |
| sointel64 |
The command builds dynamic libraries for processors that use the Intel® 64 architecture. The builder uses SDL libmkl_rt.so. |
| help |
The command prints Help on the custom shared object builder |
The <options> placeholder stands for the list of parameters that define macros to be used by the makefile. The following table describes these parameters:
|
Parameter [Values] |
Description |
|---|---|
| interface = {lp64|ilp64} |
Defines whether to use LP64 or ILP64 programming interfacefor the Intel 64architecture.The default value is lp64. |
| threading = {parallel|sequential} |
Defines whether to use the Intel MKL in the threaded or sequential mode. The default value is parallel. |
| export = <file name> |
Specifies the full name of the file that contains the list of entry-point functions to be included in the shared object. The default name is user_example_list (no extension). |
| name = <so name> |
Specifies the name of the library to be created. By default, the names of the created library is mkl_custom.so. |
| xerbla = <error handler> |
Specifies the name of the object file <user_xerbla>.o that contains the user's error handler. The makefile adds this error handler to the library for use instead of the default Intel MKL error handler xerbla. If you omit this parameter, the native Intel MKL xerbla is used. See the description of the xerbla function in the Intel MKL Reference Manual on how to develop your own error handler. |
| MKLROOT = <mkl directory> |
Specifies the location of Intel MKL libraries used to build the custom shared object. By default, the builder uses the Intel MKL installation directory. |
All the above parameters are optional.
In the simplest case, the command line is make ia32, and the missing options have default values. This command creates the mkl_custom.so library for processors using the IA-32 architecture. The command takes the list of functions from the user_list file and uses the native Intel MKL error handler xerbla.
An example of a more complex case follows:
make ia32 export=my_func_list.txt name=mkl_small xerbla=my_xerbla.o
In this case, the command creates the mkl_small.so library for processors using the IA-32 architecture. The command takes the list of functions from my_func_list.txt file and uses the user's error handler my_xerbla.o.
The process is similar for processors using the Intel® 64 architecture.
