Hi Keith,

Very recently a new version of iomkl was contributed, see 
https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/tree/develop/easybuild/easyconfigs/i/iomkl

Note that this easyconfig is in the development version of 
easybuild-easyconfigs, which will become part of EasyBuild v1.12.

One warning though: we are aware of some issues with the installation of recent 
versions of imkl, that still need to be sorted out,
see https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyblocks/pull/374 for more details.


regards,

Kenneth
