Using Code Examples
The Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) package includes code examples, located in the share\doc\mkl\examples subdirectory of the installation directory. Use the examples to determine:
- Whether Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) is working on your system
- How to call the library
- How to link the library
The examples are grouped by programming languages and Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) function domains. Refer to the README.txt file in the share\doc\mkl\examples subdirectory for instructions on building the examples. Source code for the examples is in the next-level source subdirectory.
