Incorrect results from ippsSqrt_64f_A53 when ippSetFlushToZero is enabled

[MARK_S_8]

C++ test program attached, which gives the following output:

ippCore 9.0.3 (r51269)
 ippsSqrt_64f_A53:
 x =               2.225074e-308 5.000000e-01 2.000000e+00 1.797693e+308
 Sqrt_64f_A53(x) = 1.491668e-154 7.071068e-01 1.414214e+00 3.300384e+154
 sqrt(x) =         1.491668e-154 7.071068e-01 1.414214e+00 1.340781e+154

For the input value DBL_MAX the result is wrong. Is this a know issue?

Hi Mark,

I tested both in IPP 9.0 & 2017, the problem is fixed in new version. The output value is correct by using IPP 2017, please update to use new release. Thank you.

Best regards,
Fiona

  Hi Fiona,

what is this new version IPP 9.0 & 2017 that we do not know about?

According to https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-ipp-90-library-release-notes, the latest is IPP 9.0 Update 3

Hi Mark, 

sorry for confusion,  I see the problem on my side and this is an unknown issue for IPP v.9.0.update 3 and IPP 2017. IPP 2017 is the newest version which will be released within this week.
