INTEL Performance Libraries

Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) offers highly optimized, extensively threaded math routines for scientific, engineering, and financial applications that require maximum performance.

Intel MKL is available with the Intel® C++ and Fortran Compilers Professional Editions and Intel® Cluster Toolkit, as well as a standalone product.

Intel MKL provides high performance, future proofing for applications and productivity for developers. Intel MKL is extremely optimized for current multicore x86 platforms and will continue to be optimized for future platforms to ensure applications benefit seamlessly from the latest architecture enhancements.
