mkl_set_memory_limit
On Linux, sets the limit of memory that Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) can allocate for a specified type of memory.
Syntax

limit |
size_t |
Memory limit in megabytes. |
Description
This function sets the limit for the amount of memory that Intel® oneMKL can allocate for the specified memory type. The limit bounds both internal allocations (inside Intel® oneMKL computation routines) and external allocations (in a call to mkl_malloc , mkl_calloc , or mkl_realloc ). By default no limit is set for memory allocation.
Call mkl_set_memory_limit at most once, prior to calling any other Intel® oneMKL function in your application except mkl_set_interface_layer (Sets the interface layer for Intel® oneMKL at run time. Use with the Single Dynamic Library.) and mkl_set_threading_layer (Sets the threading layer for Intel® oneMKL at run time. Use with the Single Dynamic Library (SDL).) .
