Intel

As the world's largest chip maker, and a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products, Intel supplies the computing and communications industries with chips, boards, systems, and software building blocks that are the "ingredients" of computers, servers and networking and communications products.

Visual Numerics and Intel have worked side by side for many years to provide Intel customers numerical libraries optimized to Intel hardware. By combining the proven computational capabilities of the IMSL® Numerical Libraries with the power and flexibility of Intel compilers, software, and hardware, Visual Numerics and Intel provide the high-performance computing community with a reliable, proven foundation for building solutions to today's most complex computing challenges.

Intel Software and the IMSL Libraries

The IMSL Libraries available for Intel C and Fortran compilers are optimized to leverage many performance benefits of the Intel processor family. In addition to utilizing high optimization levels of the Intel C and Fortran compiler technology the IMSL Libraries achieve higher performance through the use of the Intel Math Kernel Library (Intel MKL). Intel MKL offers highly optimized extensively threaded math routines for scientific, engineering, and financial applications that require maximum performance.

Intel MKL is bundled with recent releases of the IMSL Fortran and C Libraries for Intel x86 and x64 processor based systems. For a list of supported platforms visit the IMSL Libraries Supported platforms list.

Intel offers a bundled version of the Intel Visual Fortran compiler with the IMSL Fortran Numerical Library. For more information on this bundle, visit Intel Visual Fortran Compiler Professional Edition with IMSL. In addition, licensing information for this bundle is available online.
