similar to: R and ACML

Greetings - I'm trying to compile R under GNU/Linux (RHEL 4) on a multi-Opteron box, with ACML support. First, I downloaded and installed ACML 3.5 - GNU version, although I'm not entirely sure what the differences are - from the AMD website. The ACML libraries were installed to /opt/acml3.5.0/ Second, I ran ./configure --with-blas='-lacml' The configure went fine,

I'm trying to build R-devel with AMD's ACML. I downloaded version 3.0.0 64bit for gfortran (acml-3-0-0-gfortran-64bit.tgz) and copied the libraries to /usr/local/lib. When I configure R to build against the ACML library, how do I know if the library has been detected and will be used? I run 'configure' with the '--with-blas=-lacml' flag and am using gcc 4.0.2 (with

Hi, I'm having problems using ACML with R. I made two changes in config.site by setting LDFLAGS="-L/opt/acml3.1.0/gnu64/lib" BLAS_LIBS="-lacml" ./config and make go through but when I try to use the lm() function, I get the error message Error in chol2inv(Qr$qr[p1, p1, drop = FALSE]) : lapack routines cannot be loaded In addition: Warning message: unable to load

Normally, I do the following to configure R for compilation on my Opteron box with ACML installed: ./configure --with-tcltk --with-blas="-L/opt/acml4.3.0/gfortran64/lib -lacml" However, when I do so, and look at Makeconf, I see BLAS_LIBS = -lblas I thought I would see BLAS_LIBS = -L/opt/acml4.3.0/gfortran64/lib -lacml Why isn't Makeconf picking up the right BLAS_LIBS (or is

So, tried again from scratch. Again, CentOS 5.3, which is essentially RHEL 5.3. ./configure --with-blas="-L/opt/acml4.3.0/gfortran64/lib -lacml" In config.log, get things like configure:37199: checking for dgemm_ in -L/opt/acml4.3.0/gfortran64/lib -lacml configure:37230: gcc -std=gnu99 -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib64 conftest.c

Normally, I do symbolics in Maple, or Mathematica, but I'm trying to write a simple script for students to handle some *very* simple calculations (for other purposes) with matrix or vector elements, where the elements are coded symbolically. What I've tried with *partial" success is use of the tilde (~) operator. So, for example, consider a simple vector: test=matrix(c(~

Hi, Has anyone had any luck in using portland group compiler to build R(-devel) with AMD's pgi compiled ACML library? I've downloaded the packages and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and run configuration script as follow: % ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/R.pgcc --with-blas='-lacml' However, it failed to pick up double complex BLAS, checking for sgemm_ in -lacml... yes checking

Greetings - For a host of reasons I chose (was forced) to upgrade my multi-Opteron box from Fedora 7 -> Fedora 8. In the process, I also updated the ACML I had installed from 4.0.0 to 4.1.0. While I get no errors (that I can find) in the config -> make -> make install sequence, I'm pretty sure (based on some benchmarks) that I'm not getting BLAS and/or Lapack to compile in. So,

Well, CentOS 5.3, which amounts to the same thing. I recently decided to upgrade my main research machine from Fedora Core 8 -> CentOS 5.3. Basically, I was looking to move to a distro with longer 'term-of-life' than the release schedule for Fedora currently allows. The machine is a multi-Opteron box, so both 32- and 64-bit apps natively supported. Since I do a lot of 'linear

Have been running 2.5.1 on my multi-pro Opteron box running Fedora Core 5 with no problems. Had compiled previously with no problems. However, for a variety of reasons (mostly due to ACML upgrade), I tried a recompile using the following sequence of commands (note I'm compiling in ACML support for blas): LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/acml3.6.1/gfortran64/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./configure

Dear R-devel, Has anyone played with this? http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/DevelopWithAMD/0,,30_2252_2282,00.html <http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/DevelopWithAMD/0,,30_2252_2282,00.html> . I'll probably give it a shot... Best, Andy Andy Liaw, PhD Biometrics Research PO Box 2000, RY33-300 Merck Research Labs Rahway, NJ 07065 mailto:andy_liaw@merck.com

I am encountering segfaults when checking the lme4 package on an Athlon64 system if I use the acml blas. R was built as a 64-bit application using the GCC 4.0.3 compiler suite including gfortran. The version of acml is 3.5.0 gfortran64. I do not encounter the segfaults when I compile R with R's built-in BLAS. The errors occur in the first example in lme4 in a call to lmer. It looks like

I have problems building R 2.11.1 with an external BLAS. I've tried several with several libraries: # ACML: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/site/VERSIONS/acml-3.6.0/gfortran64_int64/lib BLAS=--with-blas="-L/site/VERSIONS/acml-3.6.0/gfortran64_int64/lib -lacml" LAPACK=--with-lapack # MKL 11: BLAS=--with-blas="-L/site/VERSIONS/intel-11.1/mkl/lib/em64t -lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_sequential

I am trying to get R to use the ACML BLAS, specifically the 'mp' version for multithreading. I have installed acml-4-4-0-gfortran-64bit I added /opt/acml4.4.0/gfortran64_mp/lib to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I ran: sudo ./configure --with-blas="-L/opt/acml4.4.0/gfortran64_mp/lib -lacml_mp" At the end of the configuration, the only external library listed is readline, and at the end

dear experts I'd like to ask you, probably on behalf all of us who try to use AMD's ACML for performance optimisation a question. There seem to be problem when these two, R and ACML are coupled, described here: http://devgurus.amd.com/message/1255852#1255852 I'd like to ask, while not being a programmer/developer, how incorrect and dangerous this might be? maybe such a setup must

Hallo, I've just installed R on our Opteron System (AMD Opteron 246). Running make check-all results in a failure during the lapack test: > ## ------- tests of random real and complex matrices ------ > > ## 100 may cause failures here. > eigenok <- function(A, E, Eps=1000*.Machine$double.eps) + { + V <- E$vect; lam <- E$values +

Full_Name: Mike Pacey Version: 2.6.0 OS: SuSe Linux 9.3 x86_64 Submission from: (NULL) (194.80.32.10) A "vanilla" version of R configures and compiles without a problem on my system. Switching to using the PGI compiler configures correctly (see the values at the bottom fo thismessage), but compilation aborts with: pgcc -I../../src/extra/zlib -I../../src/extra/bzip2

Hi, I have additional comments on building R with PGI compiler. If one wants to use external BLAS library, then pgf90 instead of pgf77 should be used, and BLAS_LIBS flags should be set. e.g. F77 = $PG_HOME/bin/pgf90 BLAS_LIBS='-L/opt/acml2.7.0/pgi64/ -lacml' # for ACML library BLAS_LIBS='-L/usr/lib64 -lg2c -lblas' # for generic BLAS library that comes

Dear R-devel, [I'm not sure if this is appropriate for R-devel. If not, I'm more than happy to move it to R-help.] As those of you who saw my post on R-help know, I've been trying to build R-patched on a dual Opteron box running Scyld Beowulf, using the PGI 6.1 compilers. The build went fine, but I couldn't get it to pass make check-all. Jennifer Lai, who reported success with

For grins, tried rebuilding R 2.9.0 without using ACML 4.3.0. Config goes fine, make runs without any errors. make check - and - ta-dah! - no errors for stats. Everything seems to check out just fine. So, it seems as if R 2.9.0, ACML 4.3.0, and perhaps one/more things under CentOS don't play nice. Will trying unloading 4.3.0, installing 4.2.0 (which worked before on the Fedora box), and
