Description

The Intel Math Kernel Library (Intel MKL) is a library of optimized math routines for science, engineering, and financial applications. Core math functions include BLAS, LAPACK, ScaLAPACK, sparse solvers, fast Fourier transforms, and vector math. The routines in MKL are hand-optimized specifically for Intel processors.

Available versions (Euler, old software stack)

Legacy versions	Supported versions	New versions
	14.0.1	2017.5, 2018.0, 2018.1

Please note that this page refers to installations from the old software stack. There are two software stacks on Euler. Newer versions of software are found in the new software stack.

In the new software stack, there are no separate MKL modules any more. MKL is part of the intel module.
