Preparing the Sample Application

To begin this tutorial, you need to get the source files for the sample application.

Open the archive file in the product's Samples directory and extract the source files to a writable folder, such as your desktop:

<install-dir>\Samples\<locale>\C++\vec_samples.zip

Use the following files:

• matrix_vector_multiplication_c .sln

• matrix_vector_multiplication_c .vcproj

• Driver.c

• Multiply.c

• Multiply.h

1. Start Visual Studio and open the solution file matrix_vector_multiplication_C.sln

2. Convert to an Intel project by right-clicking on the matrix_vector_multiplication_c project and selecting Intel Composer XE 2013 > Use Intel C++. Click OK in the Confirmation dialog.

3. Change the Active solution configuration to Release using Build > Configuration Manager.

4. Clean the solution by selecting Build > Clean Solution.
