I have symptoms very similar to this post : http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=76294
I'm building a DLL which plugs in to another application and I'm trying to use MKL VML goodness to speed up some exponential calculations.
The DLL is built with the multi-threaded DLL flag (/MD) and i'm linking against mkl_sequential_dll.lib mkl_intel_c.lib mkl_core.lib
however whenever I call vsExp in code which is multithreaded using TBB i get a big old crash. I've tried all the combinations I can think of {mkl_sequential.lib, mkl_intel_thead.lib, mkl_intel_thead_dll.lib} and it's always a crash, sometimes it's a straight out kill the entire program crash and sometimes it is the same openMP problem that was reported in the above thread.
"OMP: Error #134: Cannot set thread affinity mask. OMP: System error #87: The parameter is incorrect."
I'm using the MKL that comes with Intel compiler 11.1.065 (but the actual compiler is version 11.1.071 - there is no separate MKL with this version)... and I'm using TBB 3.0 with a simple parallel_for - the memory for both the input and output are thread local.
What am I doing wrong?

[cpp] // If I allocate my memory myself, it works! // T* utility = (T*)_aligned_malloc(sizeof(T)*numOptions, 16); // T* utility = new T[numOptions]; // If I let vector allocate my memory... it crashes vectorOnce again, any help here is appreciated.utility(numOptions); // populate the utility vector with values for (int i = 0; i < numOptions; ++i) { utility = (costs == numeric_limits ::infinity()) ? -numeric_limits ::infinity() : phi * (costs - minCost); } // transform the utility in place (to it's exponential) // NOTE: this is the same form for both vector and T[] vsExp(numOptions, &(utility[0]), &(utility[0]));[/cpp]

One more question, if you replace
vsExp(numOptions,&(utility[0]),&(utility[0]));
with
for(i=0;i
*(&(utility[0])+i) =expf(*(&(utility[0])+i) );
}
Will it work?
Also, whereare your STL headers from?

icl main.cpp mkl_intel_c.lib mkl_sequential.lib mkl_core.lib
This code works on my side and I see no crash of any kind. Does it work on your side? What should be changed here for it to crash as in your case?
