I have a 16 core system with hyperthreading (32 threads). The matrix calculations are on a 4096x4096 matrix. Using "dfeast_syev", it takes a few mins. And using "cblas_dgemm" it takes a few seconds. When monitoring my computer, it shows me that only 16 threads are being used in the calculation. I want to use all 32 to speed up the program. I am using open-mp when I can, but I thought before running my program, at the command line, I could just type :
"export OMP_NUM_THREADS=32" and that would do it. But it doesn't work. It still only uses 16. Then I tried;
"export MKL_NUM_THREADS=32", and that does nothing either. When I enter "echo OMP(MKL)_NUM_THREADS" it returns 32 in both cases, but when I monitor my CPU it still only shows 16 threads being used.
Any suggestions?
Aaron.
