ns > 0 - Specifies the number of partitions to use. ns = 0 - Instructs Intel® oneMKL to use the default partitioning algorithm. ns < 0 - Invalid value; ignored. |
Description
This function enables you to specify the number of stripes, or partitions along the leading dimension of the output matrix, for parallel ?gemm functions. If this number is not set (default) or if it is set to zero, Intel® oneMKL ?gemm functions use the default partitioning algorithm. The specified number of partitions only applies to ?gemm functions.
The number specified is a hint, and Intel® oneMKL may actually use a smaller number.
#include "mkl.h"

mkl_set_num_stripes(4);
dgemm(...); // Intel MKL uses up to 4 stripes for dgemm
