    NOTE! You can maybe use other Windows LAPACK/BLAS compatible library, but i am not sure, this project default configured to Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL).

  2. Open project file in Visual Studio. (Visual Studio >=2012, recommended 2015)

  3. In Visual Studio go to: Project/Properties/Configuration Properties/VC++ Directories/Library Directories and add new string with YOUR DRIVE LETTER:\YOUR INTEL MATH KERNEL LIBRARY INSTALLATION FOLDER\Intel\Composer XE 2015\mkl\lib\intel64

  4. Build solution for Release x64 configuration.

    NOTE! You can build for other configurations, but this project default configured to Release x64.

    NOTE! If after running application you have error about missing mkl_rt library add this file to application root folder. File path: YOUR DRIVE LETTER:\YOUR INTEL MATH KERNEL LIBRARY INSTALLATION FOLDER\Intel\Composer XE 2015\redist\intel64\mkl\mkl_rt.dll

  5. Happy researching!

NOTE! Parallelization with OpenMP not yet supported, but i'm working on it)
