OpenBLAS tries to use AVX-2 / AVX-512 even when it is not actually available, causing programs to crash with SIGILL: +--- | Thread 1 "cholmodtest" received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction. | 0x00007ffff728fc18 in dgemv_n_SKYLAKEX () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenblas.so.0 | (gdb) bt | #0 0x00007ffff728fc18 in dgemv_n_SKYLAKEX () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenblas.so.0 | [...] | (gdb) disassemble 0x00007ffff728fc18,+8 | Dump of assembler code from 0x7ffff728fc18 to 0x7ffff728fc20: | => 0x00007ffff728fc18 <dgemv_n_SKYLAKEX+2024>: vmovsd (%rdx),%xmm18 | 0x00007ffff728fc1e <dgemv_n_SKYLAKEX+2030>: inc %rax +--- As far as I found out, the %xmm18 register should only be available with AVX-512.
