1. Introduction

This page is for supplementary information relating to the implementation described in Section 2.1 of the Installer's Note. It may be augmented over the life-time of the product if further pertinent information becomes available.

2. Additional Test Platforms

In addition to the computer system described in Section 2.2 of the Installer's Note, this implementation has also been successfully tested using the following:

hardware:         AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6174
operating system: Linux 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop
                  openSUSE 11.3 (x86-64)(Teal)
                  glibc-2.11.2-3.3.1.x86_64
C Compiler:       icc version 15.0.2
                  icc version 14.0.2*

3. Older Compiler Versions

If you want to use earlier versions of the Intel compiler, icc, (e.g. 14.0.1 or 14.0.2), to compile and link with the static versions of the NAG C Library, you will need to add the MKL library libirc.a to your compile/link command. For example:

To use the NAG C Library and the supplied MKL libraries, you may link in the following manner:

  icc driver.c -I[INSTALL_DIR]/include [INSTALL_DIR]/lib/libnagc_mkl.a \
    -Wl,--start-group \
    [INSTALL_DIR]/mkl_intel64_11.2.2/lib/libmkl_intel_ilp64.a \
    [INSTALL_DIR]/mkl_intel64_11.2.2/lib/libmkl_intel_thread.a \
    [INSTALL_DIR]/mkl_intel64_11.2.2/lib/libmkl_core.a \
    -Wl,--end-group \
    [INSTALL_DIR]/rtl/intel64/libiomp5.a \
    [INSTALL_DIR]/rtl/intel64/libifcoremt.a \
    [INSTALL_DIR]/rtl/intel64/libirc.a \
    -lpthread -lm

To link to a version of the NAG C Library which does not require the use of MKL you may link in the following manner:

  icc driver.c -I[INSTALL_DIR]/include [INSTALL_DIR]/lib/libnagc_nag.a \
    [INSTALL_DIR]/rtl/intel64/libifcoremt.a [INSTALL_DIR]/rtl/intel64/libirc.a -lpthread -lm
