MKL LAPACK problem - dsygv

physics314 — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:06:40 GMT

I have a section of Fortran code that calls dsygv to solve a symmetric generalized eigenvalue problem. My code works fine under gfortran, and I have compiled it under the 32-bit version of the Intel Fortran compiler. When I compile it with the 64-bit libraries, I get an error. Here is my linker line:

ifort -openmp -parallel -o energy Energy.o -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_lapack -lmkl_core -lmkl_intel_ilp64 -lmkl_sequential -L/opt/intel/mkl/10.2.0.013/lib/em64t

The call to dsygv is
call dsygv(1, 'N', 'L', NumUsed+1, PhiHPhi8, NumTerms, PhiPhi8, NumTerms, Energies, Workspace, 3*NumTerms, Info)

And the error that it gives me is
MKL ERROR: Parameter 1 was incorrect on entry to DSYGV

According to all of the documentation that I have found, including the Intel MKL reference manual, the first parameter, itype, is 1, 2 or 3, based on the system being solved. Since this has worked fine until now, I'm really not sure what the problem is.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi physics314,

Try to use lp64 version:-lmkl_intel_lp64 instead of -lmkl_intel_ilp64.

Or add -i8 compiler option.

Thanks,

Vladimir

Hi,

adding to Vladimir's post. The reason you receive error is that you selected ilp64 interface (see your linking line). ILP64 libraries use the 64-bit integer type (necessary for indexing huge arrays). The default for your compiler is probably 32-bit integers, so that's why they conflict. The LP64 libraries index arrays with the 32-bit integer type, and that's why Vladimir's suggestion probably will solve the problem (of linking).

You have couple of scenarios to use:

(1) follow Vladimir's suggestion to replace lib interface

(2) follow Vladimir's suggestion to change your default for compiler (for x64 architecture)

(3) make local integer*8 variable and pass it. This however, will make the code not "architecture blind". To resolve this you can also try compiler directives, though.

Thanks, using -lmkl_intel_lp64 instead fixed it. Also, thanks to both of you for the remarkably quick answers.

MKL LAPACK problem - dsygvd using MAGMA

Hi,

I am trying to call magma_dsygvd from a fortran code and when I link to the MKL library I get the foll errors for different runs:

[krajag1@kid034 MAGMA]$ ./magmatest3

DSYGVD Example Program Results

LIWORK = 53

LWORK = 901

LDA = 10

LDB = 10

MKL ERROR: Parameter 1 was incorrect on entry to magma_dsygvd

[krajag1@kid034 MAGMA]$ ./magmatest3

DSYGVD Example Program Results

LIWORK = 53

LWORK = 901

LDA = 10

LDB = 10

MKL ERROR: Parameter 11 was incorrect on entry to magma_dsygvd

Optimum workspace required = ****

Workspace provided = 901

Note: I have passed an integer*8 variable for parameter 1.

Please find enclosed my code and makefile for reference.

Thanks,

Kaushik
