failed to run SPEC CPU2017 521.wrf_r with -march=native or -march=skylake.

[edisonchan]

My system: Intel Hades Canyon (CPU: Intel KabyLake-G 8809G ) with 16GB memory.

I built the flang according this: https://github.com/flang-compiler/flang/wiki/Building-Flang.

It's strange, the flang bin file bulit does not show the output like in the flang page with --help:

OVERVIEW: clang LLVM compiler

USAGE: clang-12 [options] file...

OPTIONS:
  -###                   Print (but do not run) the commands to run for this compilation

  --version              Print version information

now, when I use classic flang llvm 12x to build the SPEC CPU2017, -march=x86-64 & -mtune=core-avx2 is ok, but when I use -march=skylake or -march=native, 521.wrf would failed to run(I had add FPORTABILITY = -Mbyteswapio):

Can you rerun setting environment variables MTH_I_STATS=7 and MTH_I_DEBUG=1 and capture stderr?

[edisonchan]

I had try to run(after set MTH_I_STATS=7 and MTH_I_DEBUG=1) :

'''runcpu -c llvm --noreportable -n 1 521 2> std_err.txt'''

but the file std_err.txt is empty.

The log file output by CPU2017. cpu2017_log.zip

[d-parks]

In your log.debug file:

1625802351.74: Invoked as: /home/edison/cpu2017/bin/specinvoke -d /home/edison/cpu2017/benchspec/CPU/521.wrf_r/run/run_base_refrate_llvm_12-m64.0000 -f speccmds.cmd -q -e speccmds.err -o speccmds.stdout 1625802351.74: timer ticks over every 1000 ns 1625802351.76: Environment in effect for these runs:

I don't see any MTH_I_STATS or MTH_I_DEBUG.

[edisonchan]

My bad, I forgot use "export" to set them.

here is the output: 521.zip

[d-parks]

The error being reported is because the application is calling and avx512 entry point:

__pgmath_abort:Math dispatch table is either misconfigured or corrupted. log/dv8/precise Entry point not defined for CPU target=avx2.

log/dv8 implies zmm registers.

The math library detected that you're running on an AVX2 processor (not AVX512):

MTH_I_DEBUG=1 math_target: avx2(5) __mth_fast: fast(0) mth_relaxed: relaxed(1) mth_precise: precise(2) __mth_sleef: sleef(3) math_dispatch: built on Jul 7 2021 22:09:13 with clang-12.0.0

[edisonchan]

I have check the bin file built with flang, there is not "zmm" output from "objdump -d wrf_r_base.llvm_12-m64 |grep zmm".

[d-parks]

Can you look for "pow_8" in your objdump?

[edisonchan]

objdump -d wrf_r_base.llvm_12-m64 |grep pow_8
0000000000405890 <__ps_pow_8@plt>:

I have used flang to buiild CPU 2017 a few months ago, its version is 7.0.1, In my memory that flang does not need "classic-flang-llvm-project" to build.

[d-parks]

You'll have to figure out where the call to pd_pow_8 is coming from. I'd suggest setting a break point with gdb at that symbol and when it triggers then show the backtrace of the stack. Is your executable static or dynamic? If it is not static, I'd suggest relinking it as static and again verifying that pd_pow_8 is not being called.
