Choosing Intel MKL BLAS when compiling R
r-sig-hpc'ers: I am compiling R 2.14 from scratch on a cluster computer (I can't use any package managers for the install, unfortunately), and they have the Intel MKL libraries available for BLAS/LAPACK. I have not successfully gotten a configure/make/make install combo yet that uses multiple CPUs to do, say: a = matrix(rnorm(5000*5000), 5000, 5000) b = matrix(rnorm(5000*5000), 5000, 5000) # This following line, minimally, should be getting distributed. c = a%*%b First off, I've tried compiling it with the configure flags: ./configure --prefix=/myprefix/ --enable-BLAS-shlib How do I then select the Intel MKL libraries to be used as the BLAS? They are located in /usr/local/intel-11.1/mkl/lib/em64t Thanks! --j
