Intel® Math Kernel Library 11.3 Update 4 Developer Guide

Compile Options Specific to the Intel Optimized MP LINPACK Benchmark

The Intel Optimized MP LINPACK Benchmark has some additional compile options available over the standard HPL 2.1 distribution. These new options are:

ASYOUGO: Provides non-impacting performance information while runs proceed. There are only a few outputs and this information does not impact performance. This can be useful for runs that otherwise can execute for hours without providing any information.

ASYOUGO2: Provides additional performance information at a modest performance cost by intercepting every DGEMM call.

ASYOUGO2_DISPLAY: Displays the performance of all the significant DGEMM calls in the run.

ENDEARLY: Displays performance hints and then terminates the run early.

FASTSWAP: Inserts the LAPACK-optimized DLASWP into the HPL code. You can experiment with this to determine best results.

HYBRID: Establishes the Hybrid OpenMP/MPI mode of MP LINPACK, enabling the use of threaded Intel MKL and prebuilt MP LINPACK hybrid libraries.

Caution

Use this option only with an Intel® compiler and the Intel® MPI library version 3.1 or higher.

Optimization Notice

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
