Hi,

I have

#include
#include
#include "mkl_vml.h"
#include "mkl_service.h"

#define N 4

int main()
{
double a[N] = {0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4};
double b[N], y[N];
MKL_INT n = N, i;
MKLVersion ver;

MKLGetVersion(&ver);
printf("\\nMKL Version = %d.%d.%d\\n\\n", ver.MajorVersion, ver.MinorVersion, ver.UpdateVersion);

for (i = 0; i < n; i++) b[i] = a[i] - 0.05;

vdSub(n, a, b, y);

for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
printf("a[%d] - b[%d] = %f - %f = %f\\n", i, i, a[i], b[i], y[i]);

return 0;
}

and

#include
#include
#include "mkl_vml.h"
#include "mkl_service.h"

int main()
{
double a[2] = {0.2, 0.3}, y[2];
MKL_INT n = 2, mod, accm, fpum, errm;
MKLVersion ver;

MKLGetVersion(&ver);
printf("\\nMKL Version = %d.%d.%d\\n", ver.MajorVersion, ver.MinorVersion, ver.UpdateVersion);

mod = vmlGetMode();
accm = vmlGetMode() & VML_ACCURACY_MASK;
fpum = vmlGetMode() & VML_FPUMODE_MASK;
errm = vmlGetMode() & VML_ERRMODE_MASK;

/*
printf("mod = %d\\n", mod);
printf("accm = %d\\n", accm);

printf("errm = %d\\n", errm);
*/

vdInv(n, a, y);

printf("Compute Power[{0.2, 0.3}, -1] using vdInv.\\n");
printf("answer = {%f, %f}\\n\\n", y[0], y[1]);

return 0;
}

with the following make file

when I run these programs

I get Illegal instructions.

My CPU is an Intel Core2 Duo CPU E8400

I use

gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.4.1 [gcc-4_4-branch revision 150839]

GNU C Library stable release version 2.10.1 (20090918), by Roland McGrath et al.

I tried to set

MKL_AVX_ENABLE to

but that did not help, I am not sure it should.

Anysuggestion, how I could fix it, or narrow it further down?

Thanks a lot

I think (because of the related CPU but i have not checked) there is a similar problem on a

Windows 7 (64 bit)
Intel Core2 Duo T9600 @ 2.80GHz

Oliver, thanks for the issue. this is an unknown problem for us and therefore we will try to check it on our side and will back asap.

Oliver, can you get us thePackage ID you are using? You can find it into the \doc\mklsupport.txt file.

ruebe,

could you provide values of your environment variables (type set at command line) also?

Hi ruebe,

Pleaseadd one more printf to your example

printf(" Processor optimization: %s\n",ver.Processor);

and provide the outputfor us.

Thanks,

It's checked: Crashes on Windows 7 (64) with Intel Core2 Duo T9600 @ 2.80GHz

I have tried to reproduce your problem at E8400 and I have failed. But we have Windows 2003 server installed at this server.

Could you provide details - how are you building your tests at Windows?

Did you make any modifications to MKL libraries?

Andrey

Andrey,

no modifications to MKL, besides that we copy all the headers and libraries to a single directory.

The test on windows 7 is done (not by me) with the attached VS project files.

If I use the vdsub code with MKL 10.1 on the Linux setup, it works.

Any ideas?

I experience a similar problem under vista 32 and core duo.

Funny enough a virus scan with DrWeb just popped up a possible infected element

C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\11.1\054\mkl\ia32\lib\mkl_core.lib

Doubt...

Andrey,

I am wondering if you consider this issue resolved, or if you are still investigating?

Thanks

Ruebe,

sorry for delay - I`m trying to find servers with similar to your configuration.

I have built your project and run it successfully at Core 2 duo E7200 andCore i7 extrime 975(both under Windows 7).

I have attached Release binaries to this post. Could you runthem at yourT9600 Windows7 system? (password for zip file is 12345).

Andrey

Andrey,

thanks, here are the results:

It opens up a window and prints out :
MKL Version = 10.2.3
and then crashes.

Here is the output from the crash window.
