Build-Related Information
The offload compiler produces "fat" binaries and .so files that contain code for both host and the
•
Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor.
•
The offload compiler produces code that examines the runtime execution environment for the
presence of an Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor. The offload compiler will create both host and Intel® MIC
Architecture versions of all code marked for offload.

A number of workarounds and hints can be found in releaseNotes-linux.txt.
Compiler Switches and Makefiles
When building applications that offload some of their code to the Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor, it is possible to
cause the offloaded code to be built with different compiler options from the host code. The method of
passing these options to the compiler is documented in the compiler documentation under the "Compiler
Reference/Compiler Options/Compiler Option Categories and Descriptions" section. Look for the –offload-
option compiler switch. In that same section, also look up the –offload-attribute-target compiler
Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor D

contains a wealth of information on compilers.
For examples of Intel® MKL automated offload:

and .../mic_ao/blasf
The rest of the samples demonstrate use of MKL via compiler-assisted offload
(/opt/intel/composerxe/mkl/examples/mic_offload).
