Intel oneAPI 2026.0.0 released

Important: With the 2026.0 Release, the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit (Base Kit) and Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit have been combined into the Intel® oneAPI Toolkit.

Documentation is only updated partly at the time of posting.

Thank you for the heads up.

It seems that subroutines like mkl_dcsrmv are not available anymore with this 2026.0 Release. Or do I miss something?

Maybe it got lost in the transition to the new package.

We recently had an issue with one of the MKL routines https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-oneAPI-Math-Kernel-Library/Broken-Fortran-bindings-for-Nonlinear-least-squares-solver/td-p/1683393?profile.language=en and the the only solution was to write a wrapper in C.

It’s probably best to move away from MKL, at least in Fortran.

Maybe @greenrongreen could provide some additional information…

mmmh, that is more and more my feeling since the introduction of ifx :frowning:

Some of the sparse BLAS routines have had a deprecation notice for some time now

NOTE:
The Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) Sparse BLAS Level 2 and Level 3 routines are deprecated. Use the corresponding routine from the Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) Inspector-executor Sparse BLAS interface as indicated in the description for each routine.

In the release notes for MKL 2025.3 I found the following

  • The NIST Sparse BLAS Level 2 and Level 3 APIs have been marked as deprecated since at least 2018. They will be officially removed from oneMKL product in the 2026.0 release. New conversion APIs between sparse formats and between sparse and dense formats have been added in oneMKL 2025.3.

Which I guess means that they have now been removed with the 2026.0 release (although I can’t find anything about it in the 2026.0 release notes so far)

@implicitnone recently mentioned that @greenrongreen works for Nvidia, which his LinkedIn confirms https://www.linkedin.com/in/captainfortran/

This is correct, I am no longer at Intel.
