oneMKL Interfaces is an open-source implementation of the oneMKL Data Parallel C++ (DPC++) interface according to the oneMKL specification. It works with multiple devices (backends) using device-specific libraries underneath.
oneMKL is part of oneAPI.

There are two oneMKL selector layer implementations:
- Run-time dispatching: The application is linked with the oneMKL library and the required backend is loaded at run-time based on device vendor (all libraries should be dynamic).
Example of app.cpp with run-time dispatching:
#include "oneapi/mkl.hpp"
...
cpu_dev = sycl::device(sycl::cpu_selector());
gpu_dev = sycl::device(sycl::gpu_selector());
sycl::queue cpu_queue(cpu_dev);
sycl::queue gpu_queue(gpu_dev);
oneapi::mkl::blas::column_major::gemm(cpu_queue, transA, transB, m, ...);
oneapi::mkl::blas::column_major::gemm(gpu_queue, transA, transB, m, ...);How to build an application with run-time dispatching:
if OS is Linux, use icpx compiler. If OS is Windows, use icx compiler. Linux example:
$> icpx -fsycl –I$ONEMKL/include app.cpp
$> icpx -fsycl app.o –L$ONEMKL/lib –lonemkl- Compile-time dispatching: The application uses a templated backend selector API where the template parameters specify the required backends and third-party libraries and the application is linked with the required oneMKL backend wrapper libraries (libraries can be static or dynamic).
Example of app.cpp with compile-time dispatching:
#include "oneapi/mkl.hpp"
...
cpu_dev = sycl::device(sycl::cpu_selector());
gpu_dev = sycl::device(sycl::gpu_selector());
sycl::queue cpu_queue(cpu_dev);
sycl::queue gpu_queue(gpu_dev);
oneapi::mkl::backend_selector<oneapi::mkl::backend::mklcpu> cpu_selector(cpu_queue);
oneapi::mkl::blas::column_major::gemm(cpu_selector, transA, transB, m, ...);
oneapi::mkl::blas::column_major::gemm(oneapi::mkl::backend_selector<oneapi::mkl::backend::cublas> {gpu_queue}, transA, transB, m, ...);How to build an application with compile-time dispatching:
$> clang++ -fsycl –I$ONEMKL/include app.cpp
$> clang++ -fsycl app.o –L$ONEMKL/lib –lonemkl_blas_mklcpu –lonemkl_blas_cublasRefer to Selecting a Compiler for the choice between icpx/icx and clang++ compilers.

- What is the difference between the following oneMKL items?
Answer:
-
The oneAPI Specification for oneMKL defines the DPC++ interfaces for performance math library functions. The oneMKL specification can evolve faster and more frequently than implementations of the specification.
-
The oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) Interfaces Project is an open source implementation of the specification. The project goal is to demonstrate how the DPC++ interfaces documented in the oneMKL specification can be implemented for any math library and work for any target hardware. While the implementation provided here may not yet be the full implementation of the specification, the goal is to build it out over time. We encourage the community to contribute to this project and help to extend support to multiple hardware targets and other math libraries.
-
The Intel(R) oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) product is the Intel product implementation of the specification (with DPC++ interfaces) as well as similar functionality with C and Fortran interfaces, and is provided as part of Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit. It is highly optimized for Intel CPU and Intel GPU hardware.
