@blazko, I need something to test this claim. Can you please provide a reproducible example that made use of all cores before the update but does not now?

blazko commented on 2019-05-06 18:24 (UTC)

@alexanderp My .conf file is set up as before:

# Confgure the MKL multithreading
# for more details visit: http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentatio>
#

# Uncomment if you want to set a constant number o threads.
export MKL_NUM_THREADS=32

# Uncomment and edit if you want to set the nr. of threads for every components.
# export MKL_DOMAIN_NUM_THREADS="MKL_ALL=4, MKL_BLAS=4"

# If TRUE MKL set automatically the optimal number of threads
#export MKL_DYNAMIC=TRUE

That does not help. I'm not sure what does this switch mean, but is there a way to make it use Intel back again?

@blazko The package recently switched from Intel threading to OpenMP. Can you please try setting the number of threads manually in /etc/intel-mkl-th.conf?

The -limf flag causes a problem when compiling acepack since /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2019.3.199/linux/compiler/lib/intel64 is not in $FLIBS. The problem is resolved by adding -L/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2019.3.199/linux/compiler/lib/intel64 to $FLIBS in /usr/lib/R/etc/Makeconf. Perhaps we should append it to wherever -limf appears.

Thanks it worked.

The new version (with newest intel-mkl) does not recognize all 32 cores on my xeon. When running simr() it now uses only 16, and with previous version it used all of them at 100%.

Is this something I can restore?

As a side note: other multicore applications still can run at 100% resources. It's something that changed for R only

@alexanderp thing is, there are a couple of those (survival.R) is just one of them. Is there any --overwrite all option? :)

@blazko Try adding --overwrite usr/lib/R/library/survival/doc/survival.R to your pacman command. My own installations upgraded fine by the way.

blazko commented on 2019-05-03 11:00 (UTC)

I'm getting r-mkl: /usr/lib/R/library/survival/doc/survival.R already exists in filesystem with a couple others when trying to upgrade from last 3.5 version. Should I remove old install completely before trying to upgrade?

alyst commented on 2019-04-23 12:35 (UTC)

@alexanderp My laptop's march is skylake. I can try some R benchmarks/tests (which ones do you have in mind?) with the current r-mkl CFLAGS (-O3 -m64 -march=native -I...) vs the proposed ones (${CFLAGS} -m64 -I..., where $CFLAGS is from makepkg.conf with "-march=x86_64" set by default).

The second part (intel compiler dependency) should not affect it, though. There was a problem before was intel-mkl implicitly depending on intel-compiler-based, but I've just fixed it.

There's another potential issue that R-MKL uses Intel OpenMP with GCC compiler instead of GCC's own implementation. As some of the R packages may explicitly use -fopenmp, this may cause some issues either at compile or run time. Here's a fix for that:
