The following
Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
 function domains are threaded with Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB):
  • LAPACK.
    For a list of threaded routines, see LAPACK Routines.
  • Entire Level3 BLAS.
  • Level2 BLAS – ?GEMV.
  • Fast Poisson, Laplace, and Helmholtz Solver (Poisson Library).
  • All Vector Mathematics functions (except service functions).
  • Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
     PARDISO, a direct sparse solver based on Parallel Direct Sparse Solver (PARDISO*).

LAPACK Routines

The following LAPACK routines are threaded with Intel TBB:
?geqrf
,
?gelqf
,
?getrf
,
?potrf
,
?unmqr*
,
?ormqr*
,
?unmrq*
,
?ormrq*

?potrs
,
?bdsqr
, and
?gels
.

 PARDISO Steps

Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
 PARDISO is threaded with Intel TBB in the reordering and factorization steps. However, routines performing the solving step are still called sequentially when using Intel TBB.

Sparse BLAS Routines

The Sparse BLAS inspector-executor application programming interface routines
mkl_sparse_?_mv
 are threaded with Intel TBB for the general compressed sparse row (CSR) and block sparse row (BSR) formats.
The following Sparse BLAS inspector-executor application programming routines are threaded with Intel TBB:
  • mkl_sparse_?_mv
     using the general compressed sparse row (CSR) and block sparse row (BSR) matrix formats.
  • mkl_sparse_?_mm
     using the general CSR sparse matrix format and both row and column major storage formats for the dense matrix.
