Groups 125 of 99+ julia-users › Julia + MKL no Base.LinAlg.SparseBLAS 4 posts by 2 authors Serban Andrei Stan Mar 29 I'm trying to get Julia working with the MKL library for fast sparse matrix multiplications. I managed to compile a version of Julia-0.4.3 on an Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit machine with MKL Base.blas_vendor gives :mkl, and Base.libblas_name gives libmkl_rt . However, I can't seem to find the routines for sparse matrix multiplication. I haven't found any documentation online about these, and in some older posts I saw the syntax to be Base.LinAlg.SparseBLAS.cscmv!. However, my Base.LinAlg library has no module SparseBlas. Did I maybe miss something during installation? I installed MKL via the intel parallel studio with all custom options, and my Make.user file looks like this: USEICC 1 USEIFC 1 USE_INTEL_MKL 1 USE_INTEL_MKL_FFT 1 USE_INTEL_LIBM 1 MKLROOT opt intel mkl Kristoffer Carlsson Mar 29 Look at https: github.com JuliaSparse MKLSparse-jl It is quite unfinished but it has cscmv! wrapped for example. You might need https: github.com JuliaSparse MKLSparse-jl issues 8 Kristoffer Carlsson Mar 29 I meant https: github.com JuliaSparse MKLSparse-jl pull 7 Serban Andrei Stan Apr 5 Thanks Kristoffer - I didn't use your repo, but got an example working using ccall.
