Intel MKL results differ depending on the underlying hardware architecture

anonuser123 — Fri, 12 Apr 2024 16:57:11 GMT

I think this is a well known problem that when using MKL_CBWR=AUTO, the results may differ across different hardware architecture due to the floating point arithmetic that occurs.

My question is in such cases, when the results are system-dependent, how do you evaluate which one of the results is the closer to the true theoretical result?

Which MKL_CBWR settings is most appropriate for accuracy?

Hi,

Please let me know if the following link helps. It shows how one can obtain numerical reproducibility.
