sysv_aa workspace query

MarkG3 — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 19:11:17 GMT

I noticed a bug in MKL 2019-2021 with the sysv_aa workspace query. It seems to work in MKL 2017-2018. The sysv_aa workspace ought to be max( sytrf_aa, sytrs_aa ) workspaces. Instead, it returns a large negative, large positive, or zero number. Results below vary between precisions [s, d, c, z].

I ran these tests using the LAPACK++ wrappers (https://bitbucket.org/icl/lapackpp/) with the attached file substituting for lapackpp/src/sysv_aa.cc to debug it. I ran the test:

./tester --type s,d,c,z --dim 100 --uplo l,u sysv_aa

(These tests pass with Netlib LAPACK.)

Here are results I get for uplo=L and n=100. Same results happen with uplo=U. (I just grep the output for qry_work.)

Note that this prevents the LAPACKE_*sysv_aa wrapper from working, since it queries the workspace and allocates that amount. Or in the case above where qry_work = 1167663104, it works but allocates an obnoxious amount of workspace.

Thanks for investigating.
