The mkl-roll is deprecated and has been replaced by the intel-roll, built with ROLLNAME=mkl.

This roll bundles the installation of Intel(r) Math Kernel Libraries which are part of the Intel® Composer XE Suite.

For more information about the Intel MKL please visit the official web page

To build/install this roll you must have root access to a Rocks development machine (e.g., a frontend or development appliance).

In addition, non-SDSC users must also place a tar.gz bundle of the Intel(r) installation source provided by Intel(r) in the src/intel-compilers directory. That file should be named to match the pattern listed in src/intel/version.mk and the version.mk file should be edited appropriately.

None.

To build the mkl-roll, execute these instructions on a Rocks development machine (e.g., a frontend or development appliance):

% make 2>&1 | tee build.log
% grep "RPM build error" build.log

If nothing is returned from the grep command then the roll should have been created as... mkl-*.iso. If you built the roll on a Rocks frontend then proceed to the installation step. If you built the roll on a Rocks development appliance you need to copy the roll to your Rocks frontend before continuing with installation.

To install, execute these instructions on a Rocks frontend:

% rocks add roll *.iso
% rocks enable roll mkl
% cd /export/rocks/install
% rocks create distro
% rocks run roll mkl | bash

In addition to the software itself, the roll installs mkl environment module files in:

/opt/modulefiles/applications/mkl

The mkl-roll includes a test script which can be run to verify proper installation of the mkl-roll documentation, binaries and module files. To run the test scripts execute the following command(s):

% /root/rolltests/mkl.t
