Fails without error? Or "Illegal instruction (core dumped)" #2

Closed privefl closed 3 years ago

I'm trying DENTIST. It runs in 0.2 sec and provides no output file. I guess I run into some problem, but don't really get any error message. Any idea what is going on?

This is the first lines of my sumstats file: sumstats

In fact, I get one error message: Illegal instruction (core dumped).

I tried using more recent nodes on my cluster. It now runs. Are you using special instructions such as AVX2 instructions? On some older nodes, I cannot use PLINK2 with AVX2 instructions; it might be a similar issue here.

The code uses an INTEL library MKL so that an executable is optimized for the instructions provided by the specific made of CPU. The static-compiled DENTIST is based on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3, which supports AVX2.

Thanks for reporting. This is a good point. I should note the computing infrastructure needed to run DENTIST.
