I haven't used it, but I'm very curious. Could you provide a link to it?
I have used Intel's free non-commercial C++ compiler in linux for my scientific computations, and it makes much faster code than other compilers. It makes me wonder if their compiler uses this MKL or something similar ... -- Paul

Very interesting! 
I may have to download that to see just what kind of neat functions it has...
Intel's Math Kernel Library
AMD's Core Math Library (basically the same thing it seems, but optimized for AMD)

Hmm, looks a little pricy ... It looks like it's royalty-free, at least, but I'd be shy of getting dependent on their libraries in the 30 days of free use ...
Does sound pretty cool, though! And I guess a one-time, $200 fee isn't that bad if you do plan to use it quite often... -- Paul

The AMD one seems free, and might be worth a shot if you get an AMD system. 40MB download though, so not good for 56Kers......

Ah, that's really great to hear!
Nice thing about the Intel compilers is that they do work on any x86 architecture, AMD included. Actually, they make some blazingly fast code. Can't beat that "free" price tag for the linux non-commercial version! I use it for all my research now.
Let us know how the AMD stuff works out for you! (If you do download it.) -- Paul

Blah. I downloaded the AMD library but can't find a list of functions it has From what the description file says, it seems to have several higher end math functions (dot products, DFT, etc). However, I can't think of a use for any of them yet so I deleted it for another day. Could be handy if I had to use some of the stuff though...

If you were doing any kind of heavy duty graphics work, then the matrix related functions would be very useful.
