Scipy 15.1 not linked properly when compiled against MKL

Hello,

I have been trying to compile numpy and scipy against intel MKL. I have been following the following guide to the letter:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/numpyscipy-with-intel-mkl

I am using the versions of numpy and scipy tested with the guide, numpy 1.9.2 and scpy 0.15.1. Numpy installs exactly as I would expect it to and performs well. However, when I run the standard scipy tests, i.e.,

import scipy
scipy.test()

I encounter a large number of errors related to missing symbols, such as 

ImportError: scipy/special/_ufuncs.so: undefined symbol: __intel_avx_rep_memset

Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any insight? Thanks in advance for your help.

My LD_LIBRARY_PATH is:

/opt/intel/composer_xe_2015.3.187/compiler/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/composer_xe_2015.3.187/compiler/lib/intel64/:/lib:/usr/local/plc-2.0/lib:/lib64:/opt/intel/composer_xe_2015.3.187/ipp/../compiler/lib/intel64/:/opt/intel/composer_xe_2015.3.187/ipp/../compiler/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/compiler/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/mpi/intel64/lib:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/ipp/../compiler/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/ipp/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/mic/coi/host-linux-release/lib:/opt/intel/mic/myo/lib:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/compiler/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/mkl/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/tbb/lib/intel64/gcc4.4:/opt/intel/debugger_2016/libipt/intel64/lib:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/daal/lib/intel64_lin:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/daal/../tbb/lib/intel64_lin/gcc4.4:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/daal/../compiler/lib/intel64_lin::/usr/local/cuda/lib64:/usr/local/cuda/lib

Hi Jonah,

What are your c and fortran compiler you are using?  The symbol __intel_avx_rep_memset look like from  one of Intel library, but i haven't found it so far.    Anyway, could you please try 

in the site.cfg file, you must link with mkl_rt only and any other linking method will not work.

Export the compiler flags as:

view sourceprint?
1 $export CFLAGS="-fopenmp -m64 -mtune=native -O3 -Wl,--no-as-needed"
2 $export CXXFLAGS="-fopenmp -m64 -mtune=native -O3 -Wl,--no-as-needed"
3 $export LDFLAGS="-ldl -lm"
4 $export FFLAGS="-fopenmp -m64 -mtune=native -O3 -Wl, --no-as-needed"

Best Regards,

Ying

Hi, Jonah

Did try to build Numpy/Scipy with 16.0 Intel compiler, but run with 15.0 libraries?

I noticed both 16.0 and 15.0 update 3 are installed on your system.

The "__intel_avx_rep_memset" is available in 16.0 libirc.so, but not in 15.0.

Thanks

Yolanda

Hi Ying,

Thanks for the reply. I have tried exporting the values you suggest. Now scipy fails in teh build stage with the following error:

Hi Yolanda,

Thank you for your reply! Yes, this is possible. To test this, I reset my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to exclude the 2015 compilers before and after building. However, when I do this, the code segfaults when loading fftw, all else remaining the same. I'm not sure how to interpret that.

Best,

Jonah

Hi Jonah, 

Let us clarify, 

1) when you try 2015 compiler and MKL + the original setting, what is the error?

 

2)  when you try 2015 compiler and MKL + the  setting in post #2, what is the error?

 

Regarding the last error itself,  relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used itself, it seems ask recompile -fPIC

so may you add 

$export FFLAGS="-fopenmp -m64 -mtune=native -O3 -Wl, --no-as-needed -fPIC"

and let us know the result. 

Regards,

Ying

Hi Ying, Yolanda,

Thank you for your help. It seems the error may have only been the library path. I have did the following to reset my path:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
source /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh intel64

resulting in the following library path:

/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/compiler/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/mpi/intel64/lib:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/ipp/../compiler/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/ipp/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/mic/coi/host-linux-release/lib:/opt/intel/mic/myo/lib:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/compiler/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/mkl/lib/intel64:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/tbb/lib/intel64/gcc4.4:/opt/intel/debugger_2016/libipt/intel64/lib:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/daal/lib/intel64_lin:/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/daal/../compiler/lib/intel64_lin:

Then I compiled as before and ran the tests. Numpy (of course) passed all tests. Scipy had 13 errors, which seemed to be genuine errors:

I tried again changed the "-O3" flag to "-O1" in both in both "numpy/distutils/intelcompiler.py" and "numpy/distutils/fcompiler/intel.py". And now both libraries pass all tests.

The error in post 4 was based on using 2015 compiler and MKL + the  setting in post #2.

If I also add the fPIC command and use -O3, the code compiles and scipy.test9) returns only three errors:

<nose.result.TextTestResult run=17005 errors=0 failures=3>

It looks like I can use a lower optimization setting with this configuration to get everything working. Thank you for your help!

Best,

Hi Jonah, 

Thanks a lot for the report and verification.   

It seems the O3 optimization will cause the numerical error in Scipy 15.1 as earlier version

Appendix 1:

Known issues:

 When the -O3 or -O2(default) compiler flags (more aggressive compiler optimization flags) used for the ifort, one of the scipy tests may fail and it is a known corner case, to avoid this, as a workaround you can use -O1.

 would you please help to submit the issue to premier.intel.com to intel fortran or C compiler  or their forum:

Thanks

Hi Ying,

Okay, I've submitted the bug to the fortran compiler forum. The link is here:
