The NAG C Library, Mark 24, was compiled with the highest level of optimization that enabled the functionality provided by the library to be verified and validated.
This library has been tested using the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) and Linear Algebra PACKage (LAPACK) routines provided by NAG (see the Chapter Introductions for f07, f08 and f16 in the NAG Mark 24 C Library Manual, which we will refer to as the Library Manual).
The library has also been tested with version 11.1.1 of the Intel ® Math Kernel Library for Windows (MKL) which is supplied as a part of this product (see Section 3.1). Please see the Intel website for further information about MKL (https://software.intel.com/intel-mkl).

The library nagc_nag_MT.lib is a static library that includes NAG BLAS/LAPACK. The library nagc_mkl_MT.lib is a static library that does not include BLAS/LAPACK (except for any routines listed in Section 4(a) of the Users' Note). Both libraries have been compiled with the /MT option to link with the static multithreaded C run-time library. This option must be used when compiling applications to be linked with either of these libraries to ensure linking to the correct C run-time libraries.
The library nagc_nag_MD.lib is an alternate version of the static library that includes NAG BLAS/LAPACK and is compiled with the /MD option. The library nagc_mkl_MD.lib is a static library that does not include BLAS/LAPACK (except for any routines listed in Section 4(a) of the Users' Note). Both libraries have been compiled with the /MD option to link with the multithreaded DLL C run-time library. The /MD option must be used when compiling applications to be linked with either of these libraries to ensure linking to the correct C run-time libraries.
CLW3224DA_nag.lib is a DLL import library that includes NAG BLAS/LAPACK. CLW3224DA_mkl.lib is a DLL import library that does not include BLAS/LAPACK (except for any routines listed in Section 4(a) of the Users' Note). Both libraries have been compiled with the /MD option to link with the multithreaded DLL C run-time library. This option must be used when compiling applications to be linked with either of these libraries to ensure linking to the correct C run-time libraries.

If you have downloaded the Library materials from our website, run the self-extracting executable to start the Library installation. The Library Manual materials are available as a separate download.
If you have the Library materials on CD, insert the CD into your CD
drive to display the NAG CD browser. Click on the
e:\NAG_Installation_browser.exeto run the browser, or run e:\clw3224dal_setup.exe to run the Library installation directly, where e is the drive letter for your CD drive.
After installation, you should ensure that the software described in Section 3.1 is present and accessible.
The installation procedure will create a shortcut which starts a Command Prompt with the required local environment variables. The default location of this shortcut is in the Start Menu under
Start|All Programs|NAG|CL24|NAG C Library (CLW3224DAL)|
NAG CLW3224DAL Command Prompt
(Under Windows 8, the shortcuts appear under the list of all applications. To find this, right-click on the background of the Start screen and click on the All apps button, which is typically located near the bottom left or bottom right corner of the screen. The shortcuts are listed under the NAG section.)
The local environment variable NAG_CLW3224DAL is needed by the batch files nagc_example_*.bat (see Section 3.1.1. of the Users' Note).
The installation procedure also creates a shortcut on the Start Menu to the Users' Note, which by default is located under

The files will be installed to the default location and the PATH, LIB and INCLUDE environment variables will be modified. The default installation location may be overridden by using the /dir switch, e.g.
Similarly, the /silent or /verysilent flags may also be applied to the Library Manual installer setup_cl24_manual.exe.
In order to enable the software, NAG will issue you with a license key. The license key is contained in a text file consisting of details of the software that will be enabled. For evaluation purposes a trial license may be used. Before obtaining a full license you need to know the Kusari hostid of the system on which you intend to use this product. How to do this is described below.
The easiest way to request a license key is to use the Kusari Installer GUI described in the next section. Once you have a key, the same GUI can be used to install it.
The information below covers the most common requirements. For more
complex licensing situations, please see the Kusari documentation
(the files
To request a license key, run the Kusari Installer program, which may be accessed at the end of the installation procedure or via the Start Menu shortcut
Start|All Programs|NAG|CL24|NAG C Library (CLW3224DAL)|
Request or Install NAG License Key for CLW3224DAL
and click on the The NAG support team will send you the Kusari license key by email.
A short term (demonstration or trial) license key contains one or more lines like the following:
CLW3224DA TRIAL 2014/11/12 "EMnxidA3oeoj0F1Yvi5ibxPjB7"Specifically, it has a line containing the word TRIAL. Longer term license keys must be locked to a specific computer, i.e. they will enable the software on one computer only. These license keys include the word NODE instead of the word TRIAL above.
Once you have obtained one of the above license keys, the Kusari
Installer program may be used to install the key in the Windows
Registry. Paste the key into the edit box on the main Kusari
Installer dialog and then click on the
The khostid command may be found in the
klreg CLW3224DA license.datOtherwise the key can be installed for the current user,
klreg /current_user CLW3224DA license.dat
The environment variable may be set from the Control Panel.
The a00acc example program may be used to check the license is properly installed or the diagnostic program NAG_C_DLL_info.exe can be used to check both accessibility and licensing.
Alternatively, run the diagnostic program NAG_C_DLL_info.exe which itself calls a00aac (see Section 4.2.3).
Start|All Programs|NAG|CL24|NAG C Library (CLW3224DAL)|
Check NAG DLL Accessibility for CLW3224DAL
shortcut on the Start Menu, the DLLs will be found if the global PATH
environment variable has been set to include their location. If it is
run from a Command Prompt window, then the environment local to that
window will prevail. (See Section 3.1.1 of
the Users' Note for more information on environment variables.)
For each of the DLLs that it loads successfully, NAG_C_DLL_info.exe will print the location of the DLL, and the implementation details as provided by a call to the routine a00aac. It also calls a00acc to check the availability of a valid license key and reports if this is not found; "Status OK" indicates that a valid key was either found or not required.
The NAG Technical Support Service is available for general enquiries from all users and also for technical queries from sites with an annually licensed product or support service.
The technical support desks are open during office hours, but contact is possible by email and phone (answering machine) at all times.
When contacting us, it helps us deal with your enquiry quickly if you can quote your NAG customer reference number and NAG product code (in this case CLW3224DAL).
