Intel Toolchain[edit]
I do not endorse using the Intel Compiler or Math Kernel Library, I always endorse using completely free software solutions. I am simply evaluating how compatible Octave is with the Intel development tools and putting some notes here.
Intel Compiler[edit]
To compile Octave with the Intel compiler (tested with version 12.0.0.084) pass the following variables to configure:
| Code: Intel compiler variables |
CC=icc CXX=icpc F77=ifort CFLAGS="-g -O2 -diag-error 10006,10155,10156,10157,10158" CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -diag-error 10006,10155,10156,10157,10158 -diag-disable 654,1125" FFLAGS="-g -O2 -diag-error 10006,10155,10156,10157,10158" |
The -diag-error 10006,10155,10156,10157,10158 options tell the compiler to treat unknown command-line options as errors instead of warnings. This allows the configure script to correctly detect which options are recognized by the compiler.
The -diag-disable 654,1125 setting for C++ turns off warnings about shadowing member functions. I may turn these back on at some point to compile a list of these warnings, but ignore for now.
Intel Math Kernel Library[edit]
The IMKL provides a library interface that includes BLAS, LAPACK, and FFTW functions, so it should be possible to use it in place of all three of those libraries.
