number

FORTRAN: INTEGER

C: int

Number of threads suggested by user

Description

This function allows you to specify how many threads Intel MKL should use. The number is a hint, and there is no guarantee that exactly this number of threads will be used. Enter a positive integer. This routine takes precedence over the MKL_NUM_THREADS environment variable.

Note

Always remember to add #include "mkl.h" to use the C usage syntax.

See Intel MKL User's Guide for implementation details.
