Pardiso OOC *.sin *.sle files

[mullervki]

Hello,

I'm running Pardiso with the out-of-core (OOC) option. When I'm done I call the PARDISO function with phase = -1. Most files generated during the out-of-core process are deleted, but 2 files remain: ABC.sin and ABC.sle, where "ABC" is what I set in MKL_PARDISO_OOC_PATH.

Why aren't these files also deleted? Is there a way to have them automatically deleted along with the other files?

Thanks.

I checked how it works with the latest update3 and all temporarily files were automatically deleted (with settingMKL_PARDISO_OOC_KEEP_FILE=1 and by the default). Win32 code (fortran) was used.

Gennady,

I'm running in C with the Win64 code. Is that something you can check on your end - if I'm not asking too much?

Thanks.

Gennady,

I built a Win32 version - still calling from C, though. I have the same problem: the files *.sin and *.sle are not deleted, but the files *.ind, *.jal, *lnz, and *.lup - which were created while the problem was running - were all deleted by Pardiso.

I am still cannot reproduce this case ( I check on win7).

Which version of MKL do you use?

Gennady,

This is the version information I have:

Major Version= 10
Minor Version= 3
Update Version= 3
Product Status= Product
Build= 20110314
Processor Optimization= Intel Pentium 4 processor with SSE3

It appears I'm using the proper version, but I'll go ahead and download a new version - if my evaluation status allows it.

Thanks.

Gennady,

I clicked on my evaluation link in my email and I'm being prompted to download w_mkl_p_10.2.7.040.exe.

But when I first clicked on that link the file I downloaded was w_mkl_10.3.3.175; this is what I have installed. So it appears to me that I have the proper version installed and if I click on my email link I will end up installing an older, rather than newer version.

Can you let me know where I can download the very latest version from?

Thanks.

Actuallyw_mkl_10.3.3.175 is the latest update we released recently and which I used also. But I am not still able to reproduce the problem. All files are deleting after execution.

regards, Gennady

Gennady,

Do you at least see the .sin and .sle files before they are deleted?

I guess I don't know what else to try now. With MKL_PARDISO_OOC_KEEP_FILE set to 0 I see lots of other files left on the disk. If I set it o 1 then the .sin and .sle files still remain, while all others are gone.

Could it be that, in addition to MKL_PARDISO_OOC_KEEP_FILE set to 0 I need an additional flag to have these 2 files deleted and I'm missing this information?

-Arthur

[Gennady_F_Intel]

Yes, I see all tmp files ( like *.ind, *.lup, *,sln and etc) during the execution stage.

no, You don't need to do else...

I will ask the component owner to help with clarifying that problem.

Hello, Arthur!

We faced with similar problem in past. Now it should be resolved. Could you provide as with following info: What does input parameter iparm(60) equal? How much number of threads (MKL_NUM_THREADS) do you use? Please, print out the iparm(57) and iparm(64) after reordering step.

Additionally it would be nice if you set msglvl=1 before reordering and provide us with output information.

[mullervki]

Sergey,

I ran with MKL_NUM_THREADS=2 (although I got a message #processors = 1; I have another thread here on this topic). Also,

iparm(60) = 2 on input

On output, iparm(57) = 0 and iparm(64) = 103000115

Thanks.
