==== Getting started ====

==== Optimization ====

The Intel@ Advisor for Linux can help you find the required parameters for linking and compiling

<code> file:///opt/apps/intel/2017.2/documentation_2017/en/advisor/welcomepage/get_started.htm </code>

To find the paramters for the MKL you can use the [[ https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-link-line-advisor|MKL Link Line Advisor]]



=== Some Compiler Options ===

To get the used CPU type for which you want to optimize and some of the supported features of your CPU you can take a look at.

<code bash>cat /proc/cpuinfo</code>
