Selecting Libraries to Link with

To link with Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library:

Choose one library from the Interface layer and one library from the Threading layer
Add the only library from the Computational layer and run-time libraries (RTL)

The following table lists Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library libraries to link with your application.

	Interface layer	Threading layer	Computational layer	RTL
Intel® 64 architecture, static linking	libmkl_intel_lp64.a	libmkl_intel_thread.a	libmkl_core.a	libiomp5.so
Intel® 64 architecture, dynamic linking	libmkl_intel_lp64.so	libmkl_intel_thread.so	libmkl_core.so	libiomp5.so
Intel® Many Integrated Core Architecture (Intel® MIC Architecture), static linking	libmkl_intel_lp64.a	libmkl_intel_thread.a	libmkl_core.a	libiomp5.so
Intel MIC Architecture, dynamic linking	libmkl_intel_lp64.so	libmkl_intel_thread.so	libmkl_core.so	libiomp5.so

The Single Dynamic Library (SDL) automatically links interface, threading, and computational libraries and thus simplifies linking. The following table lists Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library libraries for dynamic linking using SDL. SeeDynamically Selecting the Interface and Threading Layer for how to set the interface and threading layers at run time through function calls or environment settings.

	SDL			RTL
Intel® 64 architecture	libmkl_rt.so			libiomp5.so^††

^††Use the Link-line Advisor to check whether you need to explicitly link the libiomp5.so RTL.

For exceptions and alternatives to the libraries listed above, see Linking in Detail.
