Developer Reference for Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library for C
The Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) improves performance with math routines for software applications that solve large computational problems. Intel® oneMKL provides BLAS and LAPACK linear algebra routines, fast Fourier transforms, vectorized math functions, random number generation functions, and other functionality.
For detailed information on setting up and using Intel® oneMKL, refer to the Developer Guide for Linux and the Developer Guide for Windows .
For more documentation on this and other products, visit the oneAPI Documentation Library .
Previously, Intel® oneMKL was called the “Intel® Math Kernel Library”.
Documentation for versions of Intel® oneMKL older than 2023.0 is available for download only. See Downloadable Documentation .
This publication describes the C interface.
Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS)
The BLAS routines provide vector, matrix-vector, and matrix-matrix operations.
Sparse BLAS
The Sparse BLAS routines provide basic operations on sparse vectors and matrices.
Sparse QR
The Sparse QR Routines provide a multifrontal sparse QR factorization method for solving a sparse system of linear equations.
LAPACK
The LAPACK routines solve systems of linear equations, least square problems, eigenvalue and singular value problems, and Sylvester’s equations.
Random Number Generators
The Random Number Generators provides a set of routines implementing commonly used pseudorandom random number generators (RNG) with continuous distribution.
Direct and Iterative Sparse Solvers
Among several options for solving sparse linear systems of equations, oneMKL offers a direct sparse solver based on PARDISO*, which is referred to here as Intel MKL PARDISO.
Vector Mathematics Functions
The Vector Mathematics (VM) functions compute core mathematical functions on vector arguments.
Vector Statistics Functions
The Vector Statistics (VS) functions generate vectors of pseudorandom numbers with different types of statistical distributions and perform convolution and correlation computations.
Fourier Transform Functions
The Fourier Transform Functions offer several options for computing Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs).
