Limitations of the Direct Call

Directly calling the
Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
 kernels has the following limitations:
  • If the
    MKL_DIRECT_CALL
     or
    MKL_DIRECT_CALL_SEQ
    macro is used,
    Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
     may skip error checking.
    With a limited error checking, you are responsible for checking the correctness of function parameters to avoid unsafe and incorrect code execution.
  • The feature is only available for the following functions:
    • BLAS:
      ?gemm
      ,
      ?gemm3m
      ,
      ?syrk
      ,
      ?trsm
      ,
      ?axpy
      , and
      ?dot
    • LAPACK:
      ?getrf
      ,
      ?getrs
      ,
      ?getri
      ,
      ?potrf
      , and
      ?geqrf
      . (available for C applications only)
  • Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
     Verbose mode, Conditional Numerical Reproducibility, and BLAS95 interfaces are not supported.
  • GNU* Fortran compilers are not supported.
  • For C applications, you must enable mixing declarations and user code by providing the
    -
    std=c99
     option for Intel® compilers.
