Linking with Computational Libraries

If you are not using the Intel MKL cluster software, you need to link your application with only one computational library:

lib mkl_core.a in case of static linking
lib mkl_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
ScaLAPACK ¹	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.
