What's New in Intel MKL 11.1 Update 3
What's New in Intel MKL 11.1 Update 2
Workaround: use gfortran options “-ff2c -fno-second-underscore” for building the entire application.Or use Static or Dynamic linking options instead of Single Dynamic Library
Workaround: Set MKL_MIC_MAX_MEMORY=3G, until the COI issue is resolved
What's New in Intel MKL 11.1 Update 1
Workaround: Use a number of threads which is a multiple of 4
Workaround: Set MKL_CBWR=SSE4_2 instead of MKL_CBWR=AVX2 or MKL_CBWR=AVX
Note: Introduced support for Intel® Manycore Platform Software Stack (Intel® MPSS) 3.1 for Linux and Windows with Intel® Fortran Compiler 14.0, Intel® C++ Compiler 14.0, and Intel MKL 11.1. If you are using an earlier version of Intel Fortran Compiler, Intel C++ Compiler, or Intel MKL and you want to use Intel MPSS 3.1, you might have to migrate to Intel Fortran Compiler 14.0, Intel C++ Compiler 14.0, or Intel MKL 11.1
What's New in Intel MKL 11.1
If on Windows Server 2012* you find that you cannot display help or documentation from within Visual Studio 2012*, correcting a security setting for Microsoft Internet Explorer* usually corrects the problem. From Tools > Internet Options > Security, change the settings for Internet Zone to allow “MIME Sniffing” and “Active Scripting”
Important Notices:
“malloc: *** error for object xxxxx: pointer being freed was not allocated *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug”
or
“malloc: *** error for object xxxxx: double free !!! *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug”
Workaround: call any Intel MKL function before the parallel section
Product Contents
Now Intel MKL consists in one package for both IA-32 and Intel® 64 architectures and in online installer
