  have you installed ia32-libs ?
  apt-get ia32-libs
  
  And still problem persist, check in directory : /opt whether folder name 'intel' exist or not.

  I installed ia32-libs, and I checked /opt and the folder name 'intel' exists. I still have the same problem though.

  Okay that's good,
  Open terminal & type
  

  gedit ~/.bashrc 

  enter this line at end of file :
  

  export PATH=$PATH:/opt/intel/bin 

  save it.
  Now,type in terminal
  

   source ~/.bashrc

  Now,type in terminal
  

  source ~/.bashrc 

  I entered the following line at the end of the file :
  

  export PATH=$PATH:/opt/intel/bin 

  but when I type :
  rukawa@ruka:~$ sudo ~/.bashrc
  I get the following message:
  sudo: /home/rukawa/.bashrc: command not found
  I tried to do it without sudo and I got this :
  rukawa@ruka:~$ ~/.bashrc

  Alright, now tell me in detail, which packages you have really installed ?
  Have you installed Intel C++ composer XE ?
  have you installed Intel Fortran composer ?
  you have to install both.

  So you're using 12.04 LTS & Intel 13.0 ICC, I assume.
  You followed this, right ?
  

  November 2012: Ubuntu 12.xx and Intel 13.0.0.079 (Composer XE 2013 initial release) URGENT, Installation will fail without a manual change
  
  Ubu 12.0x changed the link for /bin/sh from /bin/bash to /bin/dash. Intel installation scripts for 13.0.0.079 reference /bin/sh BUT assume/require this is bourne or bash (sh or bash) but are NOT compatible with dash. To get around this problem, do the following before trying to install the Intel compiler:
  
  As root user:
  
  mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.orig
  ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
  
  Read the following information to continue to configure your system BEFORE you attempt an installation.
  Following installation you are free to revert back to linking /bin/sh to /bin/dash if you so desire.

  Yes I followed the these steps, except that I didn't extract the archive in /tmp, I exctracted it a directory that I created : Documents/icc

  It perfectly seems like path of compiler.
  Still you have to do bit of work on your own to assure that it's compiler only. Check each & every file under /opt/intel & locate compiler.
  
  (I am quite sure that the above directory is compiler, but do cross-check too)
  Once compiler is located, open .bashrc
  add these codes in the end
  

   if [ -d "path of compiler" ] ; then
            PATH="path of compiler:$PATH"
  fi 

  then run ~/.bashrc

  @#-Link-Snipped-# locate /bin inside /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.0.080/compiler
  There must be /bin somewhere. Most prolly under include or lib folder.

  I looked for /bin but it's not inside compiler, in fact , the /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.0.080 directory has a /bin and a /compiler, but there's not /bin inside /compiler, I checked all the directories inside /compiler.
  As for the code
  if [ -d "path of compiler" ] ; then
  PATH="path of compiler:$PATH"
  fi
  I deleted the export line that you showed me at the beginning, and I wrote the following at the end of the .bashrc file :
  if [ -d /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.0.080/compiler ] ; then
  PATH="/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.0.080/compiler/:$PATH"
  fi
  
  I saved the .bashrc file and executed the command :
  source ~/.bashrc
  
  then I tried to compile my .c file using :
  icc test1.c
  but I'm still getting the message :
  icc : command not found
• 

  Abhishek Rawal

  Add
  

   if [ -d "/opt/intel/bin" ] ; then
  PATH="/opt/intel/bin:$PATH"
  fi

  run bashrc
  
  If you attach screenshot of every directory it will help me to visualise.

  @#-Link-Snipped-#, I've just bumped into this article : #-Link-Snipped-#,
  it's about setting up the environment variables before starting with the C++ compiler, my problem is that I don't have the iccvars.sh file, I've looked for it everywhere in tha /opt/intel directory.

  Abhishek Rawal

  Try re-installing the compiler, but remember one thing.
  During setup when it asks :
  1) start installation now
  2) change directory (or something like that)
  3) Change components to install
  
  select the third one, because it will install all components. and none of libs will be missing.
  As intel wiki says, extract installer in /tmp; so it's better to do as it says. This might be the problem too.

  I am quite disappointed as I couldn't help you to compile, because it's very easy shit & I have done this few timesback then =/
  I am off now, I'll be coming online back tomorrow, If you have no problem then we can ping eachother using teamviewer , so I can solve the problem easily.
  Goodluck, I hope your problem gets solve asap.

  At last! it got solved...
  Here what I did:
  1- I uninstalled the compiler
  2- I followed this : #-Link-Snipped-# to installl it again
  The thing is, in my first trial I haven't done this :
  
  

  mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.orig
  ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
  

  and I haven't extracted the archive in /tmp,
  Now I did as the article said without changing anything
  
  3 - After the completion of the installation, I composed this command :
  

  source /bin/iccvars.sh 
  

  and replaced by : /opt/intel/composer_2013_sp1.0.080 (because that's where I have the intel compiler installed) and by : intel64 (because I have an amd64)
  (I got the command from the following article : #-Link-Snipped-#)
  
  4- I read this thread : #-Link-Snipped-#
  and composed the following commands one after the other:
  

  source /opt/intel/bin/iccvars.sh intel64
  source /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh intel64
  source /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.0.080/bin/iccvars.sh intel64
  source /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.0.080/bin/compilervars.sh intel64
  

  Now when I type :
  

  icc --version

  I get this result :
  icc (ICC) 14.0.0 20130728
  Copyright (C) 1985-2013 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.
  
  I took quite a while!

  I understood that (because why would anyone install icc when gcc is already been shipped in Linux ?)
  Are you using phoronix suite for benchmarking ?
  I am quite interested in GCC versus Clang. Do post the result here, I would love to have discussion on that 😀

  In my assignment, I had to compare the execution time of programs implemented :
  1- without OpenMP
  2 - using OpenMP
  I only used Icc because it was required. (I could have done the same thing using gcc)
  (To get sarted on openMP #-Link-Snipped-#)
  1 - the mandelbrot fracatal:
  (I you want to get an idea about what it is you can go to http Mandelbrot Set)
  

  int mandelbrot (float a, float b, int max_iter)
  {
        int iter = 0;
        float x=0, y=0;
      while(( iter < max_iter ) && ( x*x + y*y <= 4.0) )
      {
          x = x*x - y*y + a;
          y = 2*x*y + b;
           iter++;
      }
     return iter;
  }
  

  
  Now, that's a simple program, but one has to be careful when adding the openmp pragma because a segmentation fault can easily araise (and that's what happened to me)
  

  int mandelbrot (float a, float b, int max_iter)
  {
        int iter = 0;
        float x=0, y=0;
        [B]omp_set_num_threads([number of threads]);  [/B]
        [B]#pragma omp parallel for private(iter,a,b) schedule([scheduling type], [chunksize ])[/B]  
       while(( iter < max_iter ) && ( x*x + y*y <= 4.0) )
        {
            x = x*x - y*y + a;
            y = 2*x*y + b;
            iter++;
        }
        return iter;
  }
  

  I compared the execution times when choosing static and dynamic scheduling (in both scheduling patterns I gave the threads the same number of iterations to process).
  The result is : the bigger the numbre of threads id, the faster the program is executed. I'm not sur whether it's correct or not, but it seems to me logical. I read somewhere that depending on the number of cores of the computer, there's an optimal combination of the number of threads, the scheduling policy and the chunk size.
  I have a dual core machine, and the optimal combination in my case was:
  number of threads = 8
  scheduling policy = dynamic
  chunk size = max_iter/number of threads
  so in more concrete words :
  for max_iter = 256 (to have 256 levels of gray), I wrote:
  

  [....]
  omp_set_num_threads(8); 
  #pragma omp parallel for private(iter,a,b) schedule(dynamic, 64)
  [....]
  

  I didn't try for more than 8 threads, but maybe I could have had a faster program if I had tried it.
  As for the best scheduling policy, in this case it's dynamic scheduling. Logical, because the amount of work that each iteration contains depends on the value of the exiting iteration.
  
  I have though some questions on which I've been ruminating, since I got these results:
  -Why would a lower number of threads give better results?
  -When I didn't use the private(iter,a,b) clause I kept getting a segmentation fault, bur why?
  
  2-Calculation of pi
  We have
  There are 2 formulas to implement
  
  
  
  The second one gave better results in terms of precision and time of execution, BUT:
  I couldn't implement the OpenMP at all! I kept getting the segmentation fault no matter how I tried!
  here's my program:
  

  double integrale(int64 n)
  {
    double pi = 0.0;
    int i; double x,sum; int id;
    double step = 1.0/(double)n;
  omp_set_num_threads(2);
    #pragma omp parallel private(x,sum)
    {
         id = omp_get_thread_num();
         for(i=id,sum=0.0;iWhat could be that created the problem?
