Intel® Fortran Compiler includes these math libraries:
Library name |
Description |
---|---|
libimf.a (Linux* OS and Mac OS* X ) |
Math libraries provided by Intel. This is in addition to libm.a, which is the math library provided with gcc* Both of these libraries are linked in by default because certain math functions supported by the GNU* math library are not available in the Intel math library. This linking arrangement allows the GNU users to have all functions available when using ifort, with Intel optimized versions available when supported. libimf.a is linked in before libm.a. If you link in libm.a first, it will change the versions of the math functions that are used. |
libm.lib (static library) and libmmd.dll (the DLL version) (Windows* OS) |
Math Libraries provided by Intel. |
Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) |
Math library of Fortran routines and functions that perform a wide variety of operations on vectors and matrices. The library also includes fast Fourier transform (fft) functions, as well as vector mathematical and vector statistical functions. |
IMSL* Fortran Numerical Library (Windows* OS) |
Libraries provided only with certain editions of the Intel® Visual Fortran product. The IMSL* libraries provide a large collection of mathematical and statistical functions accessible from the visual and command line development environments. . |
