The |mkl_full_name| (oneMKL) defines a set of fundamental mathematical routines for use in high-performance computing and other applications. As part of oneAPI, oneMKL is designed to allow execution on a wide variety of computational devices: CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other accelerators. The functionality is subdivided into several domains: dense linear algebra, sparse linear algebra, discrete Fourier transforms, random number generators and vector math.


The general assumptions, design features and requirements for the oneMKL library and host-to-device computational routines will be described in :ref:`onemkl_architecture`. 
The individual domains and their APIs are described in :ref:`onemkl_domains`.  
Other design considerations that are not necessarily part of the oneMKL specification but that are worth mentioning will be discussed in :ref:`onemkl_appendix`.
