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. Rogue Wave Software and Intel have worked side by side for many years to provide Intel customers with the IMSL Numerical Libraries optimized to Intel hardware.
By combining the proven computational capabilities of the IMSL Numerical Libraries with the power and flexibility of Intel chips, we 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.
Additionally, as a Value Added Reseller, Intel offers a bundled version of the Intel Visual Fortran compiler with the Windows version of the IMSL Fortran Numerical Library, the Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler, Professional Edition, for Windows* with IMSL. This includes the Intel® Math Kernel Library and IMSL Fortran Library. For more information on this bundle, visit Intel Visual Fortran Compiler Professional Edition with IMSL.
"I have used IMSL in nuclear structure theory research focusing on the interplay between single particle and collective effects in relation to the low-energy behavior of atomic nuclei. I rely on a variety of IMSL functions from areas such as nonlinear systems, eigensystems, linear equations, numerical optimization and elliptic integrals for the complex calculations required in my research. The IMSL Fortran Library on Intel architecture provides the functions and performance I need for my research projects."
