cblas_ddot access violation

Di_Luca__Daniele · ‎03-02-2019

Hi,

I was just trying to learn how to use the 64 bit platform on Parallel Studio XE, when running a very simple example (using cblas_ddot() - as shown below) I've got the following exception:

Exception thrown at 0x00007FF7AA60EB36 in mkl64bit.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

Then I tried the Intel Inspector tool and it says there was an invalid memory access: 0x1eb36 vmovsd xmm4, qword ptr [r9+rax*8]

The code is:

int main() {
   double v1[3], v2[3];
   for (size_t i = 0; i != 3; ++i)
       v1 = v2 = 1.5;

double result;
result = cblas_ddot(3, v1, 1, v2, 1);

return 0;}

I'm using Intel Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition 2019 for Windows on Visual Studio 2017.

May you please help me to understand what's wrong and how could I fix the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Daniele

Everything looks correct. How did you build this example? You may take a look at the existing ddot examples into <mkltoot>\examples\cblas\source\

I figured it out I was linking mkl_intel_ilp64.lib without the /DMKL_ILP64 option for the compiler and when I switched to the automatic linking through the Intel Performance Libraries option, I kept linking mkl_intel_ilp64.lib, instead of mkl_intel_lp64, but I forgot to turn on the “Use ILP64 interfaces” flag too. I've screwed it up a little bit, but now it seems to work fine,

thanks for the support,

Daniele

Daniele, thanks for keeping us inform. We always recommend to see mkl examples which will greatly help to mitigate such problems as well.
