C# Nonlinear Optimization Problem Solvers

[Michael_W_1]

Hi,

I'm using Intel MKL from C#. In General it works. I want to use the Nonlinear Optimization Problem Solvers and I've translated the example, see http://software.intel.com/en-us/node/471540. But the dtrnlsp_solve gives me sometimes a memory exception (attempt to read write protected memory).  I've attached all the dllimports, see below.

[DllImport("mkl", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = false)]

internal static extern int dtrnlsp_init(

ref IntPtr handle, ref int n, ref int m, IntPtr x, [In] double[] eps, ref int iter1, ref int iter2, ref double rs);

[DllImport("mkl", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = false)]

internal static extern int dtrnlsp_check(

ref IntPtr handle, ref int n, ref int m, IntPtr fjac, IntPtr fvec, [In] double[] eps, [In, Out] int[] info);

[DllImport("mkl", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = false)]

internal static extern int dtrnlsp_solve(

ref IntPtr handle, [In, Out] IntPtr fvec, [In] IntPtr fjac, ref int RCI_Request);

[DllImport("mkl", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = false)]

internal static extern int dtrnlsp_get(

ref IntPtr handle, ref int iter, ref int st_cr, ref double r1, ref double r2);

[DllImport("mkl", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = false)]

internal static extern int dtrnlsp_delete(

ref IntPtr handle);

Hi Michael W,

The import code looks no problem. What of MKL version are you using? Could you please attach the whole cs file, so we can test?

Here are some C# example we had  , http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/using-intel-mkl-in-your-c-program/

Best Regards,

Ying

Hi Ying,

thank you for your answer.

MKL Version 11.1 Update 2. An example script which crashes reproducible I cannot provide at the moment. Once I have one I will provide it.

An other idea: Is it possible to redefine MKL memory function from C#. So that i_malloc is Marshal.AllocHGlobal Method? I think that dtrnlsp_solve (that one which crashes) allocates memory internally to compute the updated values of x.

Regards

Michael
