We are using IPP version 7.1.1.119 on 4th generation (Haswell) Core i7 processor under INtime (5) operating system.
We are using static linkage (#include <ipp_h9.h> before #include <ipp.h>).
A call to ippsFFTInitAlloc_C_32fc causes an invalid opcode exception. This occurs inside h9_ippsFFTGetSize_C_32fc function when trying to execute the les esp,edx instruction.
Note: When configuring IPP for AVX rather than AVX2 (using ipp_g9.h instead of ipp_h9.h) - everything works correctly. It so happens that g9_ippsFFTGetSize_C_32fc does not compries that les instruction.
We verified that our processor supports AVX2 (ran the piece of code suggested by Intel for checking this).
Please advise.
Thanks,
Beni Falk

Instruction stream bytes where the invalid opcode exception occurred are the following: c4 e2 51 f7 d0 8d 0c d5 47 00 00 00 ... (I don't know where this instruction ends).
from the 2nd byte this is a x0f38 prefix group, and from the 3rd byte there is an additional 0xf3 prefix, it looks like a 32-bit (since W==0) SARX instruction (*) but I may be wrong, by far the best will be to use an up to date debugger
SARX is a BMI2 instruction with another cpuid feature flag than AVX2 instructions (AFAIK, please verify), so you must also ensure that your targets (CPU and OS + BIOS) have proper support for BMI2 before to run this code path and run a fallback path otherwise
* see "SARX r32a,r/m32,r32b" in the Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference, it's at page B-21 in the August 2012 edition I have

Close. It is actually HSW's SHLX instruction in the BMI2 extension. The embedded prefix in VEX.pp=1 which we denote as "66".

thanks, I stand corrected, it looks like I mixed my mind with VEX.pp=2 (0xF3)

Have you checked whether the processor has BMI2 enabled? AVX2 is a different set. As far as I know not all Haswell processors support BMI2 (which is a pity).

Hi Beni,
One quick question, how did you get this HSW system? Did you purchase it or did you get it from under Intel's development program?
I am trying to find out if you have early systems or not.

We got a COM Express board from Advantech (a SOM-5894).
Thanks,
Beni

Hi Beni,
Board does not tell which processor are you using, did you get the processor from advantech too? :
http://www.advantech.com/products/SOM-5894/mod_0E302D80-4F19-406B-B540-733C6924C3A6.aspx
Board supports Embedded Intel ® Core™ i7/i5/i3/Celeron ® processor.

Yes we did. We got the processor with the board. It is a Haswell Core i7. According to the datasheet on the site (http://downloadt.advantech.com/ProductFile/PIS/SOM-5894/Product%20-%20Datasheet/SOM-5894_DS(06.21.13)20130624090857.pdf) it must be Core i7-4700EQ. There is no marking on the processor (at least not one that I can see) and BIOS does not say much.
