Re: [cmake-developers] Is there an official FindMKL module?
It's possible this wasn't the final version we came up with, but it's also possible that it is the final version and that's why I never formally submitted it. Like I said, it was last touched in 2012 and I found these files on a colleague's backup drive! We can work on getting it fully functioning and submit it as an official module moving forward if you are willing/able to be a module maintainer with me on it. When you get time to work on it again, let me know and I'll see what I can do to help. I don't have a ton of time for it right now, but I will do what I can. We can take the development discussion off-list if you would like and set up a github for it so we can collaborate and get things moving along.

Re: [cmake-developers] Is there an official FindMKL module?
Siebren,
We've never really used static linking so I am not sure if it ever really
worked. I can try and let you know.
However, I'm having flashbacks here to something I thought I had done before. I
dug through my emails and back in 2012 I had signed up to maintain a new module
that provided a macro to interface with the MKL tool and generated the proper
linking based on what it reported. My colleague and I had written it because we
were tired of the difficulties in the current modules. This new module provided
a macro and the FindBLAS and FindLAPACK modules would call the macro to get the
link information.
I got push access to create the topic branch but then I don't know what
happened. I don't know if I never pushed it, or it never got
tested/approved/checked, no clue. I actually still have all of the modules and
changes I had made, but it was in version 2.8. I wish I could remember if I had
actually pushed it to CMake or not, but I really don't remember why it never
happened.
So anyway, now that we're discussing it again, if the CMake community wants the
MKL support improved, I can dust off the modules and see what it would take to
get it officially in the stream.

Hi Tim,
Quick add-on to my previous email. With BLA_STATIC ON, I see from the
CMakeError.log that the static libraries ARE found (I was trusting the), but
the linking of the test program goes wrong:
undefined reference to `mkl_blas_sgemv`
But that function IS implemented in one of the three libraries that is found,
in my case in libmkl_sequential.a
So this is probably a linking/ library ordering error.
Indeed, Intel fora and the link advisor I mentioned earlier also report the
need for grouping these as in
-Wl,--start-group ${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64/libmkl_intel_lp64.a
${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64/libmkl_core.a ${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64/libmkl_sequential.a

Is my understanding correct, and can this be fixed?

Subject: [cmake-developers] Is there an official FindMKL module?
Hello,
I am using the find_package() command to load settings for the Intel Math
Kernel Library (MKL). This works through a custom FindMKL.cmake module that
I've made for myself.
However, when looking at:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-link-line-advisor/
I can tell that what I've done is likely only correct for my specific case, and
certainly not robust against library version changes and various other changes
(openmp, static vs dynamic linking etc.).
Instead of a FindMKL.cmake module, an alternative is to have MKL be discovered
in the FindBLAS or FindLAPACK modules, but according to what I can find on the
bug tracker, that solution is also in a fairly broken state:
Bug 14138: http
Re: [cmake-developers] Is there an official FindMKL module?
Hi Siebren,
I tried to link statically and it did not work for me, similar errors as to
what you are getting.
The way the macro is supposed to work -- it checks for the MKL link tool and if
it is available, it uses and provides the libraries needed. If it is
unavailable (or throws errors or whatever else the case may be), then FindBLAS
reverts back to the way it handles MKL currently.
I have attached the module that provides the interface to the MKL command line
tool as well as the changed FindBLAS module that uses it. Major caveat here --
I have not used these since 2012, with one of the Intel 12.something compilers
and CMake 2.8. I did a quick diff on the FindBLAS in the current version and

this working. If it turns out this is useful and close to functional, then we

Then everything works fine and we have no issues. So we have to give
CMake a hint that we want to pick the Intel version rather than the generic
one (and we're using the sequential, 64bit MKL -- if you look in FindBLAS
you can see other vendor types).
Have you had things fail when you setup your environment variables using
the scripts Intel provides and when you set the BLA_VENDOR hint as an
environment variable?

*Subject: *[cmake-developers] Is there an official FindMKL module?
Hello,
I am using the find_package() command to load settings for the Intel Math
Kernel Library (MKL). This works through a custom FindMKL.cmake module that
I've made for myself.
However, when looking at:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-link-line-advisor/
I can tell that what I've done is likely only correct for my specific
case, and certainly not robust against library version changes and various
other changes (openmp, static vs dynamic linking etc.).
Instead of a FindMKL.cmake module, an alternative is to have MKL be
discovered in the FindBLAS or FindLAPACK modules, but according to what I
can find on the bug tracker, that solution is also in a fairly broken state:
Bug 14138: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14138
Bug 13543: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=13543
Bug 13528: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=13528
Google tells me that many people have (like me) created their own
FindMKL.cmake module, which are equally specific and tailored.
Is anyone aware of a more official FindMKL module available somewhere,
or at least something that is being somewhat maintained, either by someone
at Kitware or Intel? Or of a plan to develop something like that?
kind regards,
Siebren Reker

Re: [cmake-developers] Is there an official FindMKL module?
We sometime struggled to get it working, but we never had to resort to using a FindMKL -- FindBLAS and FindLAPACK work just fine for us, provided we do things correctly. So long as we have sourced the mklvars script that ships with Intel MKL and we put: BLA_VENDOR =Intel10_64lp_seq ccmake /path/to/source/dir Then everything works fine and we have no issues. So we have to give CMake a hint that we want to pick the Intel version rather than the generic one (and we're using the sequential, 64bit MKL -- if you look in FindBLAS you can see other vendor types). Have you had things fail when you setup your environment variables using the scripts Intel provides and when you set the BLA_VENDOR hint as an environment variable?
