In addition, NAG recommends that before calling any Library routine you should read the following reference material from the Library Manual (see Section 5):
(a) How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation
(b) Chapter Introduction
(c) Routine Document
http://www.nag.co.uk/doc/inun/cs26/w6idel/supplementary.html
for details of any new information related to the applicability or usage of this implementation.
This implementation of the NAG C Library provides static and shared libraries that use a third-party vendor performance library to provide Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) and Linear Algebra PACKage (LAPACK) routines (see below). It also provides static and shared libraries that use the NAG versions of these routines (referred to as the self-contained libraries).
This implementation of the NAG C Library has been tested with version 2017.0.1 of the Intel ® Math Kernel Library for Windows (MKL) which is supplied as a part of this product. Please see the Intel website for further information about MKL (https://software.intel.com/intel-mkl).
For best performance, we recommend that you use one of the variants of the NAG C Library which is based on the supplied MKL, i.e. nagc_mkl_MT.lib, nagc_mkl_MD.lib or CSW6I26DE_mkl.lib/CSW6I26DE_mkl.dll. These libraries do not contain the NAG versions of the BLAS and LAPACK routines (except for any routines listed in Section 4(a)).
The self-contained libraries, nagc_nag_MT.lib, nagc_nag_MD.lib and CSW6I26DE_nag.lib/CSW6I26DE_nag.dll, are also supplied. These contain the NAG versions of the BLAS and LAPACK routines.
Which static variant of the NAG Library you should use will also depend on how you wish to link to the Microsoft run-time libraries. For example, if you are linking with the multithreaded static run-time libraries, you should use nagc_mkl_MT.lib or nagc_nag_MT.lib, whereas if you are linking with the multithreaded dynamic link run-time libraries, you should use nagc_mkl_MD.lib or nagc_nag_MD.lib. Alternatively, if you wish to call a dynamic link library (DLL) variant of the NAG Library, you should link with the import library CSW6I26DE_mkl.lib or CSW6I26DE_nag.lib (and, at run time, make sure that the corresponding DLL, CSW6I26DE_mkl.dll or CSW6I26DE_nag.dll is on your path). For more details, see Section 3.1.1.
Note that the NAG C Library is carefully designed so that any memory used can be reclaimed – either by the Library itself or by the user invoking calls of NAG_FREE(). However, the Library does itself depend on the use of compiler run-time and other libraries which may sometimes leak memory, and memory tracing tools used on programs linked to the NAG Library may report this. The amount of memory leaked will vary from application to application, but should not be excessive and should never increase without limit as more calls are made to the NAG Library.
If you intend to use the NAG library within a multithreaded application please refer to Section 2.10.1 of the document How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for more information. Further information about using the supplied Intel MKL libraries with threaded applications is available at http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-math-kernel-library-intel-mkl-using-intel-mkl-with-threaded-applications.
This version of the NAG Library is compiled to take advantage of multiple threads. In addition, the version of Intel MKL supplied is multithreaded. If the environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS is undefined, multiple threads may be created to speed up computation on systems with more than one processor or a multicore chip. If you do not want to make use of multiple cores or processors, OMP_NUM_THREADS must be set to 1.
Alternatively, set the environment variable to the number of threads required.
Intel have introduced a conditional bitwise reproducibility (BWR) option in MKL. Provided a user's code adheres to certain conditions (see https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/528579), BWR can be forced by setting the MKL_CBWR environment variable. See the MKL documentation for further details. It should be noted, however, that many NAG routines do not adhere to these conditions. This means that for a given NAG library built on top of MKL, it may not be possible to ensure BWR for all NAG routines across different CPU architectures by setting MKL_CBWR. See Section 2.9.1 of How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for more general information on bitwise reproducibility.
In this section we assume that the Library has been installed in the default folder, namely
C:\Program Files\NAG\CL26\csw6i26delThe actual name of the "Program Files" folder may appear differently, depending on your locale. If the above folder does not exist, please consult the system manager (or the person who did the installation). In some of the following subsections, this folder is referred to as install_dir.
We also assume that the shortcut for the Library command prompt is in the NAG C Library (CSW6I26DEL) section of the Start Menu or All apps under:
NAG CSW6I26DEL Command PromptIf this shortcut does not exist, please consult the system manager (or the person who did the installation). (Other shortcuts created as part of the Library installation procedure are also assumed to be in this location.)
If you are using a DLL form of the Library (see Section 3.1.1), you need to ensure that the NAG DLL (CSW6I26DE_mkl.dll or CSW6I26DE_nag.dll) is accessible at run time; therefore the install_dir\bin folder must be on the path. The install_dir\rtl\bin folder must be on the path too (unless you have the appropriate Intel run-time libraries on your path already). If an MKL-based version of the Library is to be used, the install_dir\mkl_intel64_2017.0.1\bin folder must also be on the path, but should appear later in the path than the install_dir\bin folder, since the NAG versions of a few BLAS / LAPACK routines may be included in the NAG Libraries to avoid problems with the vendor versions. (See Section 4 for details.)
To check the accessibility of the NAG DLLs, run the program NAG_C_DLL_info.exe which is available from the Start Menu or All apps shortcut
Check NAG CSW6I26DEL DLL AccessibilitySee Section 4.2.2 of the Installer's Note for details of this utility.
The shortcut:
NAG CSW6I26DEL Command Promptmay be used to start a command prompt window with the correct settings for the INCLUDE, LIB and PATH environment variables for the Library and the supplied MKL. The environment variable NAG_CSW6I26DEL, which is needed by the nagc_example_*.bat batch files is also set.
If the shortcut is not used, you can set the environment variables by running the batch file envvars.bat for this implementation. The default location for this file is:
C:\Program Files\NAG\CL26\csw6i26del\batch\envvars.batIf this file is not in the default location, you can locate it by searching for the file envvars.bat containing csw6i26del.
You may then compile and link to the NAG C Library on the command line using one of the following commands:
cl /MD driver.c CSW6I26DE_mkl.lib cl /MD driver.c CSW6I26DE_nag.lib cl /MT driver.c nagc_mkl_MT.lib mkl_intel_lp64.lib mkl_intel_thread.lib mkl_core.lib libiomp5md.lib user32.lib cl /MT driver.c nagc_nag_MT.lib user32.lib cl /MD driver.c nagc_mkl_MD.lib mkl_intel_lp64.lib mkl_intel_thread.lib mkl_core.lib libiomp5md.lib user32.lib cl /MD driver.c nagc_nag_MD.lib user32.libwhere driver.c is your application program. (Note – this assumes use of the Microsoft C compiler cl. You may also use the Intel C compiler icl. Options for both compilers are the same.)
The C/C++ compiler options:
CSW6I26DE_mkl.lib is a DLL import library that makes use of MKL for BLAS/LAPACK routines. CSW6I26DE_nag.lib is a DLL import library that includes NAG BLAS/LAPACK. Both libraries have been compiled with the /MD option. This option must be used when compiling applications to be linked with such libraries to ensure linking to the correct C run-time libraries.
nagc_mkl_MT.lib is a static library that does not include BLAS/LAPACK and should be linked to the MKL static libraries. nagc_nag_MT.lib is a static library that includes NAG BLAS/LAPACK. Both libraries have been compiled with the /MT option. This option must be used when compiling applications to be linked with such libraries to ensure linking to the correct C run-time libraries.
nagc_mkl_MD.lib is a static library that does not include BLAS/LAPACK and should be linked to the MKL static libraries. nagc_nag_MD.lib is a static library that includes NAG BLAS/LAPACK. Both libraries have been compiled with the /MD option. This option must be used when compiling applications to be linked with such libraries to ensure linking to the correct C run-time libraries.
If it is planned to use Microsoft Visual Studio to build programs that use the NAG C Library, each user should set the appropriate options.
Start Visual Studio and create your project in the usual way. We assume that your project is going to make use of the NAG C Library.
The library is intended to be run in fully optimized mode, so to avoid any warning messages, you might decide to set the active configuration to Release. Once Visual Studio has been opened, you can do this from the Toolbar or alternatively via the Build|Configuration Manager menus. Note that if you work in Debug mode, you may receive a warning message about conflicting run-time libraries.
Make sure the Platform is set to x64 (to ensure compatibility with this 64-bit implementation of the NAG Library). This can be changed via the Configuration Manager... button on the Property Pages.
The following steps show how to add the NAG Library to the project:
The default folders are as follows:
Include Directories C:\Program Files\NAG\CL26\csw6i26del\include Library Directories C:\Program Files\NAG\CL26\csw6i26del\lib C:\Program Files\NAG\CL26\csw6i26del\rtl\lib C:\Program Files\NAG\CL26\csw6i26del\mkl_intel64_2017.0.1\libClick on the Apply button to accept the changes.
Click on the OK button to accept the changes and close the form.
Open the Property Pages again (as detailed above) and click/expand Configuration Properties (if required) and then C/C++, then click on Code Generation in the left hand panel. Then, from the right hand panel, select Runtime Library and change this to the appropriate version, for example /MD or /MT. This must match the version of the NAG C Library that you link to.
Click on the OK button to accept the changes and close the form.

CSW6I26DE_mkl.lib | (Not required at link time) | Multi-threaded DLL (/MD) |

The project should now compile and link using the appropriate choice from the Build menu.
To run a program from within the Microsoft Development Environment, the program may be executed via the Debug menu (by selecting Start Without Debugging (Ctrl+F5), for example). Note that the PATH environment variable must be set appropriately, as detailed in Section 3.1 above.
If a data file needs to be attached to the standard input or the output of a program needs to be redirected to the standard output, this can be achieved by selecting the Debugging section on the Properties form and inserting the appropriate commands in the Command Arguments field, e.g.
< input_file > output_fileIf the input and output files are not in the application's working directory, full or relative paths may need to be specified. For NAG examples that use an .opt file, this should be placed in the working directory. This directory may be set via the Working Directory field, which is also on the Debugging page of the Properties form.
http://www.nag.co.uk/doc/inun/cs26/w6idel/supplementary.html
set OMP_NUM_THREADS=Nwhere N is the number of threads required. Environment variables can also be set in the usual way via the Windows Control Panel. The environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS may be re-set between each execution of the program, as desired. If you wish to change the number of threads to use for different parts of your program during execution, routines are provided in Chapter x06 of the NAG Library to assist with this process.
Multiple levels of OpenMP parallelism may be present in some NAG Library and MKL routines, and you may also call these multithreaded routines from within an OpenMP parallel region in your own application. By default, OpenMP nested parallelism is disabled, so only the outermost parallel region will actually be active, using N threads in the example above. The inner level(s) will not be active, i.e. they will run on one thread. You can check if OpenMP nested parallelism is enabled and choose to enable/disable it by either querying and setting the OMP_NESTED OpenMP environment variable or using the appropriate routines in Chapter x06. If OpenMP nested parallelism is enabled, the above example will create N threads at each parallel region for each thread at a higher level, thus N*N threads in total if there are two levels of OpenMP parallelism, etc. To provide more detailed control of nested parallelism, the environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS can be set to be a comma separated list to specify the number of threads desired at each level. e.g.
set OMP_NUM_THREADS=N,PThis will create N threads for the first level of parallelism, and then P threads for each outer level thread when an inner level of parallelism is encountered.
Note: If the environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS is not set, the default value can vary from compiler to compiler, and for different vendor libraries, usually to either be 1 or else equal to the maximum number of cores available on your system. The latter could be an issue if you are sharing the system with other users, or are running a higher level of parallelism within your own application. Thus it is recommended that you always set OMP_NUM_THREADS explicitly to your desired value.
In general, the maximum number of threads you are recommended to use is the number of physical cores on your shared memory system. However, most Intel processors support a facility known as Hyper-Threading Technology, which allows each physical core to support up to two threads at the same time and thus appear to the operating system as two logical cores. It may be beneficial to make use of this functionality, but this choice will depend on the particular algorithms and problem size(s) used. You are advised to benchmark performance critical applications with and without making use of the additional logical cores, to determine the best choice for you. This can normally be achieved simply by an appropriate choice for the number of threads to use, via OMP_NUM_THREADS. Completely disabling hyper-threading normally requires setting the desired choice in the BIOS on your system at boot time.
The distributed example results are those obtained with the static library nagc_mkl_MD.lib (i.e. using the MKL BLAS and LAPACK routines). Running the examples with NAG BLAS or LAPACK may give slightly different results.
Note that the example material has been adapted, if necessary, from that published in the Library Manual, so that programs are suitable for execution with this implementation with no further changes. The distributed example programs should be used in preference to the versions in the Library Manual wherever possible.
The example programs are most easily accessed using the batch files nagc_example_DLL.bat, nagc_example_static_MT.bat and nagc_example_static_MD.bat, which can be found in the install_dir\batch folder.
These batch files require that the environment variables for your C/C++ compiler and the NAG C Library are set. In particular, the environment variable NAG_CSW6I26DEL needs to be set to the location of the NAG C Library. Please see Section 3.1.1 for details of how to do this.
Each of the nagc_example_*.bat batch files mentioned above will provide you with a copy of an example program (and its data and options file, if any), compile the program and link it with the appropriate libraries (showing you the compile command so that you can recompile your own version of the program). Finally, the executable program will be run (with appropriate arguments specifying data, options and results files as needed), with the results being sent to a file and to the command window.
The example program concerned, and the number of OpenMP threads to use, are specified by the arguments to the command, e.g.
nagc_example_DLL e04ucc -nthreads 2will copy the example program and its data and options files (e04ucce.c, e04ucce.d and e04ucce.opt) into the current folder, compile and link the program and run it using 2 threads to produce the example program results in the file e04ucce.r. If the -nthreads switch is not used, the default behaviour is to run with a single thread.
nagc_example_DLL.bat links to the DLL version of the NAG Library using NAG BLAS/LAPACK.
To link with the MKL version of the DLL, use the -mkl option, e.g.
nagc_example_DLL -mkl e04ucc -nthreads 2
The nagc_example_static_MD.bat batch file is used in the same way and links to the static NAG library compiled with /MD.
nagc_example_static_MD e04ucc -nthreads 2Again, it is possible to link the MKL BLAS/LAPACK by using the -mkl option
nagc_example_static_MD -mkl e04ucc -nthreads 2
The nagc_example_static_MT.bat batch file links to the static library compiled with /MT, e.g.
nagc_example_static_MT e04ucc -nthreads 2 nagc_example_static_MT -mkl e04ucc -nthreads 2
NAG Type | C Type | Size (bytes) |
---|---|---|
Integer | int | 4 |
Pointer | void * | 8 |
The values for sizeof(Integer) and sizeof(Pointer) are also given by the a00aac example program. Information on other NAG data types is available in the How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation section of the Library Manual (see Section 5).
Alternatively, run the diagnostic program NAG_C_DLL_info.exe which itself calls a00aac (see Installer's Note, Section 4.2.2).
In this implementation, the following routines make calls to user functions from within OpenMP parallel regions located inside the NAG routines:
e05ucc e05usc f01elc f01emc f01flc f01fmc f01jbc f01jcc f01kbc f01kcc
Thus orphaned OpenMP directives can be used in user functions, unless you are not using the same compiler as that used to build your NAG Library implementation, as listed in the Installer's Note, Section 2.2. You must also ensure that you use the user workspace arrays IUSER and RUSER in a thread safe manner, which is best achieved by only using them to supply read-only data to the user functions.

Many LAPACK routines have a "workspace query" mechanism which allows a caller to interrogate the routine to determine how much workspace to supply. Note that LAPACK routines from the MKL library may require a different amount of workspace from the equivalent NAG versions of these routines. Care should be taken when using the workspace query mechanism.
In this implementation, calls to the NAG version of the following BLAS and LAPACK routines are included in the libraries nagc_mkl_MD.lib, nagc_mkl_MT.lib and CSW6I26DE_mkl.dll to avoid problems with the vendor version:
None
In this implementation, calls to BLAS and LAPACK routines in the non-self-contained
