Performance libraries

Abstract

Discusses three libraries from Intel, i.e., Intel® Math Kernel Library (MKL), Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library (DAAL), and Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP), collectively referred to as the Intel® Performance Libraries. These libraries are high performance versions of important computationally complex algorithms. Knights Landing can utilize each of them; Intel has endowed these libraries with Knights Landing optimizations including support for AVX-512.
