Intel® MKL 11.3 Update 3 Bug fixes

What's New in Intel MKL 11.3 Update 3

• Performance improvements for Intel Optimized MP LINPACK Benchmark on Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX512) and second generation of Intel® Xeon Phi™ Product Family (codename Knights Landing)
• BLAS:
  • Improved small matrix [S,D]GEMM performance on Intel AVX2, Intel AVX512 and on second generation of Intel® Xeon Phi™ Product Family (codename Knights Landing)
  • Improved threading (OpenMP) performance of xGEMMT, xHEMM, xHERK, xHER2K, xSYMM, xSYRK, xSYR2K on Intel AVX512, and on second generation of Intel® Xeon Phi™ Product Family (codename Knights Landing)
  • Improved [C,Z]GEMV, [C,Z]TRMV, and [C,Z]TRSV performance on Intel AVX2, Intel AVX512, Intel® Xeon® product family,and on second generation of Intel® Xeon Phi™ Product Family (codename Knights Landing)
• LAPACK:
  • Updated Intel MKL LAPACK to the latest LAPACK version 3.6 specification. New features introduced in this version are:
    • SVD by Jacobi ([CZ]GESVJ) and preconditioned Jacobi ([CZ]GEJSV) algorithms
    • SVD via EVD allowing computation of a subset of singular values and vectors (?GESVDX)
    • Level 3 BLAS versions of generalized Schur (?GGES3), generalized EVD (?GGEV3), generalized SVD (?GGSVD3) and reduction to generalized upper Hessenberg form (?GGHD3)
    • Multiplication of general matrix by a unitary/orthogonal matrix possessing 2x2 structure ( [DS]ORM22/[CZ]UNM22)
  • Improved performance of LU (?GETRF) and QR(?GEQRF) on Intel AVX512 and on second generation of Intel® Xeon Phi™ Product Family (codename Knights Landing)
  • Improved check of parameters for correctness in all LAPACK routines to enhance security
• SCALAPACK:
  • Improved hybrid (MPI + OpenMP) performance of ScaLAPACK/PBLAS by increasing default block size returned by pilaenv
• SparseBlas:
  • Added examples that cover spmm and spmmd functionality
  • Improved performance of parallel mkl_sparse_d_mv for general BSR matrices on Intel AVX2
  • Parallel Direct Sparse Solver for Clusters:
    • Improved performance of solving step for small matrices (less than 10000 elements)
    • Added mkl_progress support in Parallel Direct sparse solver for Clusters and fixed mkl_progress in Intel MKL PARDISO
• Vector Mathematical Functions:
  • Improved implementation of Thread Local Storage (TLS) allocation/de-allocation, which helps with thread safety for DLLs in Windows when they are custom-made from static libraries
  • Improved the automatic threading algorithm leading to more even distribution of vectors across larger numbers of threads and improved the thread creation logic on Intel Xeon Phi, leading to improved performance on average
