Supported Environment Variables

You can customize your system environment by specifying paths where the compiler searches for certain files such as libraries, include files, configuration files, and certain settings.

Compiler Compile-Time Environment Variables

The following table shows the compile-time environment variables that affect the compiler:

Compile-Time Environment Variable	Description
IFORTCFG	Specifies an `ifort` configuration file that the compiler should use instead of the default configuration file. By default, the compiler uses the default configuration file (ifort.cfg) from the same directory where the compiler executable resides. NOTE: On Windows, this environment variable cannot be set from Visual Studio*.
IFXCFG	Specifies an `ifx` configuration file that the compiler should use instead of the default configuration file. By default, the compiler uses the default configuration file (`ifx.cfg`) from the same directory where the compiler executable resides. NOTE: On Windows, this environment variable cannot be set from Visual Studio.
INTEL_LICENSE_FILE	Specifies the location for the Intel license file. NOTE: On Windows, this environment variable cannot be set from Visual Studio.
__INTEL_PRE_FFLAGS __INTEL_POST_FFLAGS	Specifies a set of compiler options to add to the compile line. This is an extension to the facility already provided in the compiler configuration file ifort.cfg. NOTE: By default, a configuration file named ifort.cfg is used. This file is in the same directory as the compiler executable. To use another configuration file in another location, you can use the `IFORTCFG` environment variable to assign the directory and file name for the configuration file. You can insert command line options in the prefix position using `__INTEL_PRE_FFLAGS` , or in the suffix position using `__INTEL_POST_FFLAGS`. The command line is built as follows: Syntax:`ifort` `<PRE flags> <flags from configuration file> <flags from the compiler invocation> <POST flags>` NOTE: The driver issues a warning that the compiler is overriding an option because of an environment variable, but only when you include the option /W5 (Windows) or -w3 (Linux).
INTEL_TARGET_ARCH_IA32 (Linux and Windows)	Set this environment variable to target 32-bit compilations for all associated tools (this includes the compiler and Intel-specific linker tools). Without this environment variable, you will be required to use the explicit command line options, /Qm32 on Windows and -m32 on Linux, for each compiler invocation.
PATH	Specifies the directories the system searches for binary executable files. NOTE: On Windows, this also affects the search for Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs).
TMP TMPDIR TEMP	Specifies the location for temporary files. If none of these are specified, or writeable, or found, the compiler stores temporary files in /tmp (Linux) or the current directory (Windows). The compiler searches for these variables in the following order: TMP, TMPDIR, and TEMP. NOTE: On Windows, these environment variables cannot be set from Visual Studio.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Linux)	Specifies the location for shared objects (.so files).
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH	Specifies the path for dynamic libraries.
INCLUDE (Windows)	Specifies the directory path for the include files (files included by INCLUDE statements, `#include` files, `RC INCLUDE` files¹, and module files referenced by USE statements). ¹ Files from the Resource Compiler, used to create dialog boxes and other Windows-GUI interfaces.
LIB (Windows)	Specifies the directories for all libraries used by the compiler and linker.
GNU Environment Variables and Extensions
CPATH (Linux)	Specifies the path for include and module files.
LIBRARY_PATH (Linux)	Specifies the path for libraries to be used during the link phase.

NOTE:

INTEL_ROOT is an environment variable that is reserved for the Intel® Fortran Compiler. Its use is not supported. Use of this variable may result in unexpected compiler behavior.

Compiler Runtime Environment Variables

The Intel® Fortran Compiler runtime system recognizes a number of environment variables. These variables can be used to customize runtime diagnostic error reporting, allow program continuation under certain conditions, disable the display of certain dialog boxes under certain conditions, and allow just-in-time debugging.

Environment variables relating to file I/O are interpreted when the file is opened. Other variables are read when the program starts.

The order of precedence for runtime environment variables is:

OPEN keyword
Environment variable(s)
Command line option

For Fortran runtime environment variables that are boolean (either enabled or disabled), the following tables describe values you can use to enable or disable them. These rules do not apply to environment variables for OpenMP* (OMP_) and their extensions (KMP_), or PGO.

Setting a Runtime Environment Variable to ON or OFF	Examples
An integer composed entirely of digits other than 0 enables the environment variable.	1 4938493848
A string starting with t or T, y or Y, enables the environment variable. Because you cannot include quotes, or spaces preceding the string, " T" and ' YES' do not work, because both spaces and quotation marks are considered letters.	T t TRUE TFALSE Y y yes yeti
Anything that doesn't enable the environment variable disables it.	0 -1 +1 <no value set>

Setting a Runtime Environment Variable to ON or OFF

Examples

An integer composed entirely of digits other than 0 enables the environment variable.

4938493848

A string starting with t or T, y or Y, enables the environment variable.

Because you cannot include quotes, or spaces preceding the string, " T" and ' YES' do not work, because both spaces and quotation marks are considered letters.

TRUE

TFALSE

yes

The following table summarizes compiler environment variables that are recognized at runtime.

Runtime Environment Variable	Description
F_UFMTENDIAN	This variable specifies the numbers of the units to be used for little-endian-to-big-endian conversion purposes. See Environment Variable F_UFMTENDIAN Method. The variable is retrieved once when the first unit is opened, and then checked for every open.
FOR_COARRAY_CONFIG_FILE (Windows and Linux)	This variable specifies the coarray configuration file and path to be used at execution time. The variable overrides the value specified by the [Q]coarray-config-file=`value` qualifier at runtime.
FOR_COARRAY_DEBUG_STARTUP (Windows and Linux)	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable tells the Fortran runtime library to display the Message Passing Interface (MPI) launcher command that begins the underlying parallel support for coarrays.
FOR_COARRAY_MPI_VERBOSE (Windows and Linux)	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable tells the Fortran runtime library to pass the '-verbose' qualifier to the MPI support underlying the coarray implementation so that MPI will issue status and activity messages.
FOR_COARRAY_NUM_IMAGES (Windows and Linux)	This variable specifies the number of images created for coarrays. The value overrides the value specified by the [Q]coarray-num-images=`value` qualifier at runtime. If neither is specified, the number of logical processors is used.
FOR_DUMP_CORE_FILE	Boolean. When set to TRUE, if an Intel® Fortran runtime error occurs the program will attempt to exit in a way that causes the system to generate a core dump file. The system must be configured to generate core dumps for this flag to have an effect. The location of the core dump file is system-dependent. decfort_dump_flag is an alternate spelling for FOR_DUMP_CORE_FILE. Default: FALSE
FOR_FASTMEM_NORETRY (Windows and Linux)	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable specifies that if an allocation from FASTMEM fails because either the libmemkind library is not linked into the executable or HBW memory is not available on the node then the runtime will report the failure to the user via STAT= or ERRMSG= or aborting the program with the appropriate error message. The variable is retrieved once at program initialization, and checked for each FASTMEM memory allocation. Default: TRUE
FOR_FASTMEM_RETRY (Windows and Linux)	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable specifies that if an allocation from FASTMEM fails because either the libmemkind library is not linked into the executable or HBW memory is not available on the node then memory will be allocated from the default memory allocator for that platform. The variable is retrieved once at program initialization, and checked for each FASTMEM memory allocation. Default: FALSE
FOR_FASTMEM_RETRY_WARN (Windows and Linux)	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable specifies that if an allocation from FASTMEM fails because either the libmemkind library is not linked into the executable or HBW memory is not available on the node then a warning message will be issued to stdout and memory will be allocated from the default memory allocator for that platform. The variable is retrieved once at program initialization, and checked for each FASTMEM memory allocation. Default: FALSE
FOR_FMT_TERMINATOR	This variable specifies the numbers of the units to have a specific record terminator. See Record Types. The variable is retrieved once when the first unit is opened, and then checked for every open.
FORT_FMT_NO_WRAP_MARGIN	Boolean. When set to TRUE, disables column wrapping in Fortran list-directed output when the record being written is longer than 80 characters. NOTE: There is no environment variable to set a value for the right margin, this only disables wrapping. The RECL= open specifier can be used to set the right margin when the unit is opened. Default: FALSE (Wrap margin)
FOR_ACCEPT	The ACCEPT statement does not include an explicit logical unit number. Instead, it uses an implicit internal logical unit number and the FOR_ACCEPT environment variable. If FOR_ACCEPT is `not` defined, the code `ACCEPT f,iolist` reads from standard input. If FOR_ACCEPT is defined (as a file name optionally containing a path), the specified file would be read.
FOR_DEBUGGER_IS_PRESENT	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable tells the Fortran runtime library that your program is executing under a debugger, and generates debug exceptions whenever severe or continuable errors are detected. Under normal conditions, this variable can be extracted from the operating system for Windows. User-convenience feature: If the user sets this environment variable to a TRUE value (such as 1) on Windows and the user's program executes an ERROR STOP statement, the Windows system function `__debugbreak` will be called and will bring up the Windows debugger (if it is really present). The user can use the debugger to look at the state of the application, and any step or continue command will continue the ERROR STOP process and terminate the application. On Linux, this variable must be set for debug exceptions. Setting this variable to TRUE when a program is not executing under a debugger causes unpredictable behavior. Default: FALSE
FOR_DEFAULT_PRINT_DEVICE (Windows)	This variable lets you specify the print device other than the default print device PRN (LPT1) for files closed (CLOSE statement) with the DISPOSE='PRINT' specifier. To specify a different print device for the file associated with the CLOSE statement DISPOSE='PRINT' specifier, set FOR_DEFAULT_PRINT_DEVICE to any legal spooled print device before executing the program. It can also be used for the PRINT settings in the OPEN: DISPOSE specifier.
FOR_DIAGNOSTIC_LOG_FILE	If this variable is set to the name of a file, diagnostic output is written to the specified file. The Fortran runtime system attempts to open that file (append output) and write the error information (ASCII text) to the file. Because the setting of FOR_DIAGNOSTIC_LOG_FILE is independent of FOR_DISABLE_DIAGNOSTIC_DISPLAY, you can disable the screen display of information but still capture the error information in a file. Because the text string you assign for the file name is used literally, you must specify the full name. If the file open fails, no error is reported and the runtime system continues diagnostic processing. See also Locating Runtime Errors and Traceback.
FOR_DISABLE_DIAGNOSTIC_DISPLAY	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable disables the display of all error information. This variable is helpful if you just want to test the error status of your program and do not want the Fortran runtime system to display any information about an abnormal program termination. See also Traceback.
FOR_DISABLE_KMP_MALLOC	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable forces Fortran allocate statements to resolve to glibc malloc. Default: FALSE
FOR_FORCE_STACK_TRACE	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable forces a traceback to follow any runtime diagnostic message. If FOR_DISABLE_STACK_TRACE is also set, FOR_FORCE_STACK_TRACE takes precedence over FOR_DISABLE_STACK_TRACE . Default: FALSE
FOR_DISABLE_STACK_TRACE	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable disables the call stack trace information that typically follows the displayed severe error message text. The Fortran runtime error message is displayed regardless of whether FOR_DISABLE_STACK_TRACE is set to TRUE. If the program is executing under a debugger, the automatic output of the stack trace information by the Fortran library will be disabled to reduce noise. Use the debugger's stack trace facility to view the stack trace. Default: FALSE See also Locating Runtime Errors and Traceback.
FOR_IGNORE_EXCEPTIONS	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable disables default runtime exception handling to allow, for example, just-in-time debugging. The runtime system exception handler returns EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH to the operating system, which looks for other handlers to service the exception. Default: FALSE
FOR_NOERROR_DIALOGS	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable disables the display of dialog boxes when certain exceptions or errors occur. This is useful when running many test programs in batch mode to prevent a failure from stopping execution of the entire test stream. Default: FALSE
FOR_PRINT	Neither the PRINT statement nor a WRITE statement with an asterisk () in place of a unit number includes an explicit logical unit number. Instead, both use an implicit internal logical unit number and the `FOR_PRINT` environment variable. If `FOR_PRINT` is `not` defined, the code `PRINT f,iolist` or `WRITE (,f) iolist` writes to standard output. If `FOR_PRINT` is defined (as a file name optionally containing a path), the specified file would be written to.
FOR_READ	A READ statement that uses an asterisk () in place of a unit number does not include an explicit logical unit number. Instead, it uses an implicit internal logical unit number and the `FOR_READ` environment variable. If `FOR_READ` is not* defined, the code `READ (*,f) iolist` or `READ f,iolist` reads from standard input. If `FOR_READ` is defined (as a file name optionally containing a path), the specified file would be read.
FOR_TYPE	The TYPE statement does not include an explicit logical unit number. Instead, it uses an implicit internal logical unit number and the `FOR_TYPE` environment variable. If `FOR_TYPE` is not defined, the code `TYPE f,iolist` writes to standard output. If `FOR_TYPE` is defined (as a file name optionally containing a path), the specified file would be written to.
FORT_BLOCKSIZE	Specifies the default BLOCKSIZE value to be used when BLOCKSIZE= is omitted on the OPEN statement. Valid values are 0 to 2147467264. Sizes are rounded up to the next 512-byte boundary. This variable applies to all Fortran I/O units except stderr, which is never buffered. The variable is retrieved once at program initialization, and checked for each unit open.
FORT_BUFFERCOUNT	Specifies the default BUFFERCOUNT value to be used when BUFFERCOUNT= is omitted on the `OPEN` statement. Valid values are 0 to 127. If set to 0, the default value of 1 is used. This variable applies to all Fortran I/O units except stdout (units * and 6) and stderr. The variable is retrieved once at program initialization, and checked for each unit open.
FORT_BUFFERED	Boolean. When set to TRUE, this variable specifies that buffered I/O should be used at runtime for input and output on all Fortran I/O units, except stdout (units * and 6). Output to stderr is never buffered. Default: FALSE
FORT_BUFFERING_THRESHOLD=n	Specifies dynamic buffering for unformatted sequential `READ` operations: I/O list items with a size `<=n` are buffered and are moved one at a time from the buffer to the I/O list item. I/O list items with a size `>n` are not buffered and are moved one at a time from the file to the I/O list item.
FORT_CONVERT`n`	Specifies the data format for an unformatted file associated with a particular unit number (`n`), as described in Specify the Data Format.
FORT_CONVERT`.ext` and FORT_CONVERT_`ext`	Specifies the data format for unformatted files with a particular file extension suffix (`.ext`), as described in Specify the Data Format.
FORT_FMT_RECL	Specifies the default record length (normally 132 bytes) for formatted files. The variable is retrieved once at program initialization, and checked for each unit open.
FORT_UFMT_RECL	Specifies the default record length (normally 2040 bytes) for unformatted files. The variable is retrieved once at program initialization, and checked for each unit open.
FORT`n`	Specifies the file name for a particular unit number `n`, when a file name is not specified in the OPEN statement or an implicit OPEN is used, and the compiler option fpscomp with option keyword filesfromcmd was not specified. Preconnected files attached to units 0, 5, and 6 are associated with system standard I/O files by default.
INTEL_CHKP_REPORT_MODE (Linux)	Changes the pointer checker reporting mode at runtime.
INTEL_ISA_DISABLE	Causes named features (in a comma-separated list) not to be visible on the host even if the CPUID reports that it has them onboard.
NLSPATH (Linux)	Specifies the path for the Intel® Fortran runtime error message catalog.
TBK_ENABLE_VERBOSE_STACK_TRACE	Boolean. When set to TRUE, traceback output displays more detailed call stack information in the event of an error. The default brief output is usually sufficient to determine where an error occurred. Brief output includes up to twenty stack frames, reported one line per stack frame. For each frame, the image name containing the PC, routine name, line number, and source file are given. The verbose output, if selected, will provide the exception context record (in addition to the information in brief output) if the error was a machine exception (machine register dump), and for each frame, the return address, frame pointer and stack pointer and possible parameters to the routine. This output can be quite long (limited to 16K bytes) and use of the environment variable FOR_DIAGNOSTIC_LOG_FILE is recommended if you want to capture the output accurately. Most situations should not require the use of verbose output. Default: FALSE See also Locating Runtime Errors and Traceback.
TBK_FULL_SRC_FILE_SPEC	Boolean. When set to TRUE, traceback output displays complete file name information including the path. By default, the traceback output displays only the file name and extension in the source file field. Default: FALSE See also Locating Runtime Errors and Traceback.
FORT_TMPDIR TMP TMPDIR TEMP	Specifies an alternate working directory where scratch files are created.
*GNU extensions (recognized by the Intel OpenMP compatibility library)**
GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY (Linux)	GNU extension recognized by the Intel OpenMP compatibility library. Specifies a list of OS processor IDs. You must set this environment variable before the first parallel region or before certain API calls including `omp_get_max_threads()`, `omp_get_num_procs()` and any affinity API calls. For detailed information on this environment variable, see Thread Affinity Interface. Default: Affinity is disabled
GOMP_STACKSIZE (Linux)	GNU extension recognized by the Intel OpenMP compatibility library. Same as OMP_STACKSIZE.KMP_STACKSIZE overrides GOMP_STACKSIZE, which overrides OMP_STACKSIZE. Default: See the description for OMP_STACKSIZE.
OpenMP Environment Variables (OMP_) and Extensions (KMP_)
OMP_CANCELLATION	Activates cancellation of the innermost enclosing region of the type specified. If set to TRUE, the effects of the cancel construct and of cancellation points are enabled and cancellation is activated. If set to FALSE, cancellation is disabled and the cancel construct and cancellation points are effectively ignored. NOTE: Internal barrier code will work differently depending on whether the cancellation is enabled. Barrier code should repeatedly check the global flag to figure out if the cancellation had been triggered. If a thread observes the cancellation it should leave the barrier prematurely with the return value 1 (may wake up other threads). Otherwise, it should leave the barrier with the return value 0. Enables (TRUE) or disables (FALSE) cancellation of the innermost enclosing region of the type specified. Default: FALSE Example: `OMP_CANCELLATION=TRUE`
OMP_DISPLAY_ENV	Enables (TRUE) or disables (FALSE) the printing to stderr of the OpenMP version number and the values associated with the OpenMP environment variable. Possible values are: TRUE, FALSE, or VERBOSE. Default: FALSE Example: `OMP_DISPLAY_ENV=TRUE`
OMP_DEFAULT_DEVICE	Sets the device that will be used in a target region. The OpenMP routine omp_set_default_device or a device clause in a target directive can override this variable. If no device with the specified device number exists, the code is executed on the host. If this environment variable is not set, device number 0 is used.
OMP_DYNAMIC	Enables (TRUE) or disables (FALSE) the dynamic adjustment of the number of threads. Default: TRUE: When the environment variable TCM_ENABLE=1 and the Thread Composability Manager library is available. FALSE: In all other cases. Example: `OMP_DYNAMIC=TRUE`
OMP_MAX_ACTIVE_LEVELS	The maximum number of levels of parallel nesting for the program. Possible values: Non-negative integer. Default: 1
OMP_NESTED	Deprecated; use OMP_MAX_ACTIVE_LEVELS instead.
OMP_NUM_THREADS	Sets the maximum number of threads to use for OpenMP parallel regions if no other value is specified in the application. The value can be a single integer, in which case it specifies the number of threads for all parallel regions. The value can also be a comma-separated list of integers, in which case each integer specifies the number of threads for a parallel region at a nesting level. The first position in the list represents the outer-most parallel nesting level, the second position represents the next-inner parallel nesting level, and so on. At any level, the integer can be left out of the list. If any level of nesting does not have a value, it should be comma separated. If the first integer in a list is left out, it implies the normal default value for threads is used at the outer-most level. If the integer is left out of any other level, the number of threads for that level is inherited from the previous level. This environment variable applies to the options [q or Q]openmp and [Q]parallel. Default: The number of processors visible to the operating system on which the program is executed. Syntax: `OMP_NUM_THREADS=value[,value]*`
OMP_PLACES	Specifies an explicit ordered list of places, either as an abstract name describing a set of places or as an explicit list of places described by nonnegative numbers. An exclusion operator “!” can also be used to exclude the number or place immediately following the operator. For explicit lists, the meaning of the numbers and how the numbering is done for a list of nonnegative numbers are implementation defined. Generally, the numbers represent the smallest unit of execution exposed by the execution environment, typically a hardware thread. Intervals can be specified using the `<lower-bound>` : `<length>` : `<stride>` notation to represent the following list of numbers: "<lower-bound>, <lower-bound> + <stride>, ..., <lower-bound> +(<length>-1)<stride>." When `<stride>` is omitted, a unit stride is assumed. Intervals can specify numbers within a place as well as sequences of places. # EXPLICIT LIST EXAMPLE setenv OMP_PLACES "{0,1,2,3},{4,5,6,7},{8,9,10,11},{12,13,14,15}" setenv OMP_PLACES "{0:4},{4:4},{8:4},{12:4}" setenv OMP_PLACES "{0:4}:4:4" The abstract names* listed below should be understood by the execution and runtime environment: `threads`: Each place corresponds to a single hardware thread on the target machine. `cores`: Each place corresponds to a single core (having one or more hardware threads) on the target machine. `ll_caches`: Each place corresponds to a set of cores that share the last level cache on the device. `numa_domains`: Each place corresponds to a set of cores for which their closest memory on the device is the same memory and at a similar distance from the cores. `sockets`: Each place corresponds to a single socket (consisting of one or more cores) on the target machine. Depending on the runtime environment and machine topology, certain topology layers may also be available from the following abstract names: `dice`: Each place corresponds to a single die (consisting of one or more cores) on the target machine. `modules`: Each place corresponds to a single module (consisting of one or more cores) on the target machine. `tiles`: Each place corresponds to a single tile (consisting of one or more cores) on the target machine. `l1_caches`: Each place corresponds to a single L1 cache (consisting of one or more cores) on the target machine. `l2_caches`: Each place corresponds to a single L2 cache (consisting of one or more cores) on the target machine. `l3_caches`:Each place corresponds to a single L3 cache (consisting of one or more cores) on the target machine. If Intel® Hybrid Technology is available in the machine topology, certain topology layers with attributes may also be available from the following abstract names: `cores:<attribute>`: Where `<attribute>` can be one of the following: Core type: Either `intel_atom` or `intel_core` Core efficiency: Specified as `effnum` where num is a number from 0 to the number of core efficiencies detected in the machine topology minus one. Examples: `OMP_PLACES=cores:intel_core` `OMP_PLACES=cores:eff1` When requesting fewer places or more resources than available on the system, the determination of which resources of type `abstract_name` are to be included in the place list is implementation-defined. The precise definitions of the abstract names are implementation defined. An implementation may also add abstract names as appropriate for the target platform. The abstract name may be appended by a positive number in parentheses to denote the length of the place list to be created, that is `abstract_name(num-places)`. # ABSTRACT NAMES EXAMPLE setenv OMP_PLACES threads setenv OMP_PLACES threads(4) NOTE: If any numerical values cannot be mapped to a processor on the target platform the behavior is implementation-defined. The behavior is also implementation-defined when the OMP_PLACES environment variable is defined using an abstract name.
OMP_PROC_BIND (Windows, Linux)	Sets the thread affinity policy to be used for parallel regions at the corresponding nested level. Enables (TRUE) or disables (FALSE) the binding of threads to processor contexts. If enabled, this is the same as specifying KMP_AFFINITY=scatter. If disabled, this is the same as specifying KMP_AFFINITY=none. Acceptable values: TRUE, FALSE, or a comma separated list, each element of which is one of the following values: PRIMARY, MASTER (deprecated), CLOSE, SPREAD. Default: FALSE If set to FALSE, the execution environment may move OpenMP threads between OpenMP places, thread affinity is disabled, and proc_bind clauses on parallel constructs are ignored. Otherwise, the execution environment should not move OpenMP threads between OpenMP places, thread affinity is enabled, and the initial thread is bound to the first place in the OpenMP place list. If set to PRIMARY, all threads are bound to the same place as the primary thread. If set to CLOSE, threads are bound to successive places, close to where the primary thread is bound. If set to SPREAD, the primary thread's partition is subdivided and threads are bound to single place successive sub-partitions. NOTE: KMP_AFFINITY takes precedence over GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY and OMP_PROC_BIND. GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY takes precedence over OMP_PROC_BIND.
OMP_SCHEDULE	Sets the runtime schedule type and an optional chunk size. Default: static, no chunk size specified Example syntax: `OMP_SCHEDULE="[modifier:]kind[,chunk_size]"` where `modifier` is one of monotonic or nonmonotonic `kind` is one of static, dynamic, guided, or auto `chunk_size` is a positive integer
OMP_STACKSIZE	Sets the number of bytes to allocate for each OpenMP thread to use as the private stack for the thread. Recommended size is 16M. Use the optional suffixes to specify byte units: B (bytes), K (Kilobytes), M (Megabytes), G (Gigabytes), or T (Terabytes) to specify the units. If you specify a value without a suffix, the byte unit is assumed to be K (Kilobytes). This variable does not affect the native operating system threads created by the user program, or the thread executing the sequential part of an OpenMP program or parallel programs created using the option Qparallel (Windows) or parallel (Linux) . The kmp_{set,get}_stacksize_s() routines set/retrieve the value. The kmp_set_stacksize_s() routine must be called from sequential part, before first parallel region is created. Otherwise, calling kmp_set_stacksize_s() has no effect. Default (IA-32 architecture): 2M Default (Intel® 64 architecture): 4M Related environment variables: KMP_STACKSIZE (overrides OMP_STACKSIZE). Syntax: `OMP_STACKSIZE=value`
OMP_THREAD_LIMIT	Limits the number of simultaneously-executing threads in an OpenMP program. If this limit is reached and another native operating system thread encounters OpenMP API calls or constructs, the program can abort with an error message. If this limit is reached when an OpenMP parallel region begins, a one-time warning message might be generated indicating that the number of threads in the team was reduced, but the program will continue. This environment variable is only used for programs compiled with the following options: [q or Q]openmp and [Q]parallel. The omp_get_thread_limit() routine returns the value of the limit. Default: No enforced limit Related environment variable: KMP_ALL_THREADS (overrides OMP_THREAD_LIMIT). Example syntax: `OMP_THREAD_LIMIT=value`
OMP_WAIT_POLICY	Decides whether threads spin (active) or yield (passive) while they are waiting. `OMP_WAIT_POLICY=ACTIVE` is an alias for `KMP_LIBRARY=turnaround`, and `OMP_WAIT_POLICY=PASSIVE` is an alias for `KMP_LIBRARY=throughput`. Default: Passive Syntax: `OMP_WAIT_POLICY=value`
OMP_DISPLAY_AFFINITY	Instructs the runtime to display formatted affinity information for all OpenMP threads in the parallel region upon entering the first parallel region and when any change occurs in the information accessible by the format specifiers listed in the OMP_AFFINITY_FORMAT entry. Possible values: TRUE or FALSE Default: FALSE
OMP_AFFINITY_FORMAT	Defines the format when displaying OpenMP thread affinity information. Possible values are any string with the following format field available: `%t` or `%{team_num}`: Value returned by `omp_get_team_num()` `%T` or `%{num_teams}`: Value returned by `omp_get_num_teams()` `%L` or `%{nesting_level}`: Value returned by `omp_get_level()` `%n` or `%{thread_num}`: Value returned by `omp_get_thread_num()` `%a` or `%{ancestor_tnum}`: Value returned by `omp_get_ancestor_thread_num(omp_get_level() – 1)` `%H` or `%{host}`: Name of host device `%P` or `%{process_id}`: Process ID `%i` or `%{native_thread_id}`: Native thread ID on the platform `%A` or `%{thread_affinity}`: List of processor ID on which a thread may execute Default: '`OMP: pid %P tid %i thread %n bound to OS proc set {%A}`'
OMP_MAX_TASK_PRIORITY	Controls the use of task priorities by setting the initial value. Possible values: Non-negative integer. Default: `0`
OMP_TOOL	Controls whether the OpenMP runtime will try to register a first party tool that uses OMPT interface. Possible values: ENABLED or DISABLED. Default: ENABLED NOTE: Only the host OpenMP runtime is supported.
OMP_TOOL_LIBRARIES	Sets a list of first-party tool locations that use the OMPT interface. The list enumerates names of dynamically-loadable libraries with OS-specific path separator. Default: Empty NOTE: Only the host OpenMP runtime is supported.
OMP_TOOL_VERBOSE_INIT	Controls whether the OpenMP runtime will verbosely log the registration of a tool that uses the OMPT interface. Possible values: DISABLED: Do not log the registration. STDOUT: Log the registration to stdout. STDERR: Log the registration to stderr. File_Name: Log the registration to the location specified by File_Name. Default: DISABLED NOTE: Only the host OpenMP runtime is supported.
OMP_DEBUG	Controls whether the OpenMP runtime collects information that an OMPD library may need to support a tool. Possible values: ENABLED or DISABLED. Default: DISABLED NOTE: Only the host OpenMP runtime is supported.
OMP_ALLOCATOR	Specifies the default allocator for allocation calls, directives, and clauses that do not specify an allocator. Default: `omp_default_mem_alloc` Syntax: `<PredefinedMemAllocator> \| <PredefinedMemSpace> \| <PredefinedMemSpace>:<Traits>` Currently supported values for <PredefinedMemAllocator> and <PredefinedMemSpace> : `omp_default_mem_alloc` and `omp_default_mem_space` Additional values are supported if `libmemkind` is available and there is system support for it: `omp_high_bw_mem_alloc` and `omp_high_bw_mem_space` `omp_large_cap_mem_alloc` and `omp_large_cap_mem_space` Refer to the OpenMP specification for more information.
OMP_NUM_TEAMS	Sets the maximum number of teams created by a teams construct by setting nteams-var ICV. Possible values: Positive integer. Default: 1
OMP_TEAMS_THREAD_LIMIT	Sets the maximum number of OpenMP threads to use in each team created by a teams construct. Possible values: Positive integer. Default: <NumberOfProcessors> / <nteams-var ICV>
KMP_AFFINITY (Linux, Windows)	Enables runtime library to bind threads to physical processing units. You must set this environment variable before the first parallel region, or certain API calls including `omp_get_max_threads()`, `omp_get_num_procs()` and any affinity API calls. For detailed information on this environment variable, see Thread Affinity Interface. Default: noverbose,warnings,noreset,respect,granularity=core,none Default (Windows with multiple processor groups): noverbose,warnings,noreset,norespect,granularity=group,compact,0,0 NOTE: On Windows with multiple processor groups, the norespect affinity modifier is assumed when the process affinity mask equals a single processor group (which is default on Windows). Otherwise, the respect affinity modifier is used.
KMP_HIDDEN_HELPER_AFFINITY (Linux only)	Enables runtime library to bind hidden helper threads to physical processing units. You must set this environment variable before the first hidden helper task, parallel region, or certain API calls including omp_get_max_threads() , omp_get_num_procs() and any affinity API calls. For detailed information on this environment variable, see Thread Affinity Interface. The syntax of this environment variable is equivalent to KMP_AFFINITY except that reset/noreset and respect/norespect modifiers are not available for this environment variable. Default: noverbose,warnings,granularity=core,none
KMP_ALL_THREADS	Limits the number of simultaneously-executing threads in an OpenMP program. If this limit is reached and another native operating system thread encounters OpenMP API calls or constructs, then the program may abort with an error message. If this limit is reached at the time an OpenMP parallel region begins, a one-time warning message may be generated indicating that the number of threads in the team was reduced, but the program will continue execution. This environment variable is only used for programs compiled with the [q or Q]openmp compiler option. Default: No enforced limit.
KMP_BLOCKTIME	Sets the time that a thread should busy-wait after completing execution of a parallel region before going to sleep. Use the optional character suffixes: `us` (microseconds) or `ms` (milliseconds) to specify the units. When no character suffix is specified, milliseconds are assumed. Specify `infinite` for an unlimited wait time. Default: When Intel® Hybrid Technology is detected, 0 milliseconds In all other cases, 200 milliseconds Related Environment Variable: KMP_LIBRARY environment variable.
KMP_CPUINFO_FILE	Specifies an alternate file name for a file containing the machine topology description. The file must be in the same format as /proc/cpuinfo. Default: None
KMP_DETERMINISTIC_REDUCTION	Enables (TRUE) or disables (FALSE) the use of a specific ordering of the reduction operations for implementing the reduction clause for an OpenMP parallel region. This has the effect that, for a given number of threads, in a given parallel region, for a given data set and reduction operation, a floating point reduction done for an OpenMP reduction clause has a consistent floating point result from run to run, since round-off errors are identical. NOTE: When compiling, you must set the following flag to ensure correct behavior: `-fp-model precise` (Linux) `-fp:precise` (Windows) Default: FALSE
KMP_DYNAMIC_MODE	Selects the method used to determine the number of threads to use for a parallel region when `OMP_DYNAMIC=TRUE`. Possible values: tcm: Requests threads from the Thread Composability Manager. load_balance: Tries to avoid using more threads than available execution units on the machine. thread_limit: Tries to avoid using more threads than total execution units on the machine. Default (IA-32 architecture): load_balance (on all supported OSes) Default (Intel® 64 architecture): When the Thread Composability Manager library is available, use `tcm`. In all other cases, use `thread_limit`.
KMP_HOT_TEAMS_MAX_LEVEL	Sets the maximum nested level to which teams of threads will be hot. NOTE: A hot team is a team of threads optimized for faster reuse by subsequent parallel regions. In a hot team, threads are kept ready for execution of the next parallel region, in contrast to the cold team, which is freed after each parallel region, with its threads going into a common pool of threads. For values of 2 and above, nested parallelism should be enabled. Default: 1
KMP_HOT_TEAMS_MODE	Specifies the runtime behavior when the number of threads in a hot team is reduced. Possible values: 0: Extra threads are freed and put into a common pool of threads. 1: Extra threads are kept in the team in reserve, for faster reuse in subsequent parallel regions. Default: 0
KMP_HW_SUBSET	Specifies the subset of available hardware resources for the hardware topology hierarchy. The subset is specified in terms of number of units per upper layer unit starting from top layer downwards. For example, it can specify the number of sockets (top layer units), cores per socket, and the threads per core, to use with an OpenMP application. It is a convenient alternative to writing complicated explicit affinity settings or a limiting process affinity mask. You can also specify an offset value to set which resources to use. When available, you can specify attributes to select different subsets of resources. An extended syntax is available when `KMP_TOPOLOGY_METHOD=hwloc`. Depending on what resources are detected, you may be able to specify additional resources, such as NUMA nodes and groups of hardware resources that share certain cache levels. Basic syntax: `[:][num_units]ID[@offset][:attribute] [,[num_units]ID[@offset][:attribute]...]` where An optional colon (:) can be specified at the beginning of the syntax to specify an explicit hardware subset. The default is an implicit hardware subset. `num_units` is either a positive integer, which requests an exact number of resources, or an asterisk (), which means using all available resources at that layer (for example, using all cores per socket). If `num_units` is not specified, the asterisk () semantics are assumed. `ID` is a supported ID: S - socket `num_units` specifies the requested number of sockets. D - die `num_units` specifies the requested number of dies per socket. C - core `num_units` specifies the requested number of cores per die - if any - otherwise, per socket. T - thread `num_units` specifies the requested number of HW threads per core. Supported unit IDs are not case-sensitive. `offset` is the number of units to skip (optional). `attribute` is an attribute differentiating resources at a particular layer (optional). This is only available for the core layer on machines with Intel® Hybrid Technology. The attributes available to users are: Core type: Either `intel_atom` or `intel_core` Core efficiency: Specified as `effnum` where `num` is a number from 0 to the number of core efficiencies detected in the machine topology minus one. For example: `eff0`. The greater the efficiency number, the more performant the core. There may be more core efficiencies than core types, which can be viewed by setting `KMP_AFFINITY=verbose`. NOTE: The hardware cache can be specified as a unit, for example L2 for L2 cache, or LL for last level cache. Extended syntax when `KMP_TOPOLOGY_METHOD=hwloc`: Additional IDs can be specified if detected. For example: N - numa `num_units` specifies the requested number of NUMA nodes per upper layer unit, e.g. per socket. TI - tile `num_units` specifies the requested number of tiles to use per upper layer unit, e.g. per NUMA node. When any `numa` or `tile` units are specified in KMP_HW_SUBSET, the KMP_TOPOLOGY_METHOD will be automatically set to hwloc, so there is no need to set it explicitly. For an explicit hardware subset, if one or more topology layers detected by the runtime are omitted from the subset, then those topology layers are ignored. Only explicitly specified topology layers are used in the subset. For an implicit hardware subset, it is implied that the socket, core, and thread topology types should be included in the subset. Other topology layers are not implicitly included and are ignored if they are not specified in the subset. Because the socket, core and thread topology types are always included in implicit hardware subsets, when they are omitted, it is assumed that all available resources of that type should be used. Implicit hardware subsets are the default. The runtime library prints a warning, and the setting of KMP_HW_SUBSET is ignored if: a resource is specified, but detection of that resource is not supported by the chosen topology detection method and/or a resource is specified twice. An exception to this condition is if attributes differentiate the resource. attributes are used when unavailable, not detected in the machine topology, or conflict with each other. This variable does not work if the OpenMP affinity is set to `disabled`. Default: If omitted, the default value is to use all the available hardware resources. Implicit Hardware Subset Examples: `2s,4c,2t`: Use the first 2 sockets (s0 and s1), the first 4 cores on each socket (c0 - c3), and the first 2 threads per core. `2s@2,4c@8,2t`: Skip the first 2 sockets (s0 and s1) and use the next 2 sockets (s2-s3), skip the first 8 cores (c0-c7) and use the next 4 cores on each socket (c8-c11), and use the first 2 threads per core. `5C@1,3T`: Use all available sockets, skip the first core and use the next 5 cores, and use the first 3 threads per core. `1T`: Use all cores on all sockets, 1 thread per core. `1s, 1d, 1n, 1c, 1t`: Use 1 socket, 1 die per socket, 1 NUMA node per die, 1 core per NUMA mode, 1 thread per core - use a single hardware thread as a result. `4c:intel_atom,5c:intel_core`: Use all available sockets and use the first 4 Intel Atom® processor cores and the first 5 Intel® Core™ processor cores per socket. `2c:eff0,3c:eff1`: Use all available sockets and use the first 2 cores with efficiency 0 and the first 3 cores with efficiency 1 per socket. Explicit Hardware Subset Examples: `:2s,6t` Use exactly the first two sockets and 6 threads per socket. `:1t@7` Skip the first 7 threads (t0-t6) and use exactly one thread (t7). `:5c,1t` Use exactly the first 5 cores (c0-c4) and the first thread on each core. To see the result of the setting, you can specify the verbose modifier in the KMP_AFFINITY environment variable. The OpenMP runtime library will output to stderr stream the information about discovered HW topology before and after the KMP_HW_SUBSET setting was applied. For example, on Intel® Xeon Phi™ 7210 CPU in SNC-4 Clustering Mode, the setting KMP_AFFINITY=verbose KMP_HW_SUBSET=1N,1L2,1L1,1T outputs various verbose information to stderr, including the following lines about discovered HW topology before and after KMP_HW_SUBSET was applied: Info #191: KMP_AFFINITY: 1 socket x 4 NUMA domains/socket x 8 tiles/NUMA domain x 2 cores/tile x 4 threads/core. (64 total cores) Info #191: KMP_HW_SUBSET 1 socket x 1 NUMA domain/socket x 1 tile/NUMA domain x 1 core/tile x 1 thread/core (1 total cores)

Use the optional suffixes to specify byte units: B (bytes), K (Kilobytes), M (Megabytes), G (Gigabytes), or T (Terabytes) to specify the units. If you specify a value without a suffix, the byte unit is assumed to be K (Kilobytes). This variable does not affect the native operating system threads created by the user program nor the thread executing the sequential part of an OpenMP program or parallel programs created using the option [Q]parallel. KMP_STACKSIZE overrides GOMP_STACKSIZE, which overrides OMP_STACKSIZE. Default (IA-32 architecture): 2m Default (Intel® 64 architecture): 4m

Profile Guided Optimization (PGO_) Environment Variables
INTEL_PROF_DUMP_CUMULATIVE	When using interval profile dumping (initiated by INTEL_PROF_DUMP_INTERVAL or the function _PGOPTI_Set_Interval_Prof_Dump) during the execution of an instrumented user application, allows creation of a single .dyn file to contain profiling information instead of multiple .dyn files. If not set, executing an instrumented user application creates a new .dyn file for each interval. Setting this environment variable is useful for applications that do not terminate or those that terminate abnormally (bypass the normal exit code).
INTEL_PROF_DUMP_INTERVAL	Initiates interval profile dumping in an instrumented user application. This environment variable may be used to initiate Interval Profile Dumping in an instrumented application.
INTEL_PROF_DYN_PREFIX	Specifies the prefix to be used for the .dyn filename to distinguish it from the other .dyn files dumped by other PGO runs. Executing the instrumented application generates a .dyn filename as follows: <prefix>_<timestamp>_<pid>.dyn, where `<prefix>` is the identifier that you have specified. NOTE: The value specified in this environment variable must not contain < > : " / \ \| ? * characters. The default naming scheme is used if an invalid prefix is specified.
PROF_DIR	Specifies the directory where profiling files (files with extensions .dyn, .dpi, .spi and so on) are stored. The default is to store the .dyn files in the source directory of the file containing the first executed instrumented routine in the binary compiled with [Q]prof-gen option. This variable applies to all three phases of the profiling process: Instrumentation compilation and linking Instrumented execution Feedback compilation
PROF_DPI	Name for the .dpi file. Default: pgopti.dpi
PROF_DUMP_INTERVAL	Deprecated; use INTEL_PROF_DUMP_INTERVAL instead.
PROF_NO_CLOBBER	Alters the feedback compilation phase slightly. By default, during the feedback compilation phase, the compiler merges data from all dynamic information files and creates a new pgopti.dpi file if the .dyn files are newer than an existing pgopti.dpi file. When this variable is set, the compiler does not overwrite the existing pgopti.dpi file. Instead, the compiler issues a warning. You must remove the pgopti.dpi file if you want to use additional dynamic information files.

The following table summarizes CPU environment variables that are recognized at runtime.

Runtime Configuration	Default Value	Description
CL_CONFIG_CPU_FORCE_PRIVATE_MEM_SIZE	32KB	Forces CL_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEM_SIZE for the CPU device to be the given value. The value must include the unit; for example: 8MB, 8192KB, 8388608B. NOTE: You must compile your host application with sufficient stack size.
CL_CONFIG_CPU_FORCE_LOCAL_MEM_SIZE	32KB	Forces CL_DEVICE_LOCAL_MEM_SIZE for CPU device to be the given value. The value needs to be set with size including units, examples: 8MB, 8192KB, 8388608B. NOTE: You must compile your host application with sufficient stack size. Our recommendation is to set the stack size equal to twice the local memory size to cover possible application and OpenCL Runtime overheads.
CL_CONFIG_CPU_EXPENSIVE_MEM_OPT	0	A bitmap indicating enabled expensive memory optimizations. These optimizations may lead to more JIT compilation time, but give some performance benefit. NOTE: Currently, only the least significant bit is available. Available bits: 0: OpenCL address space alias analysis
CL_CONFIG_CPU_STREAMING_ALWAYS	False	Controls whether non-temporal instructions are used.

NOTE:

Some environment variables are available for both Intel® microprocessors and non-Intel microprocessors, but may perform additional optimizations for Intel® microprocessors than for non-Intel microprocessors.
