Yes, that’s right. The code above is required only to release the small amount of working memory allocated within MKL functions. This is unlikely to be an issue unless your application spawns large numbers of threads.

All memory allocated by NMath and used by MKL is allocated from the managed heap, and will be garbage collected.

My understanding is that memory w.r.t. NMath is being managed by the .net __gc. Is this issue more to do with memory that is allocated within the scope of an MKL function call rather than that of the pointers being passed of the .net arrays used to represent NMath vectors/matrices?
Could you elaborate a bit more on the ownership of the memory that needs to be released?
