Public bug reported: Hi, I run Python3.2/Numpy/Scipy on Ubuntu 12.04, I call spsolve(sparse solver), and libblas crashed python. The reason is libblas invoke an AMD only instruction prefetchw.
Backtrace: Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction. #0 0x00007f6f079fe304 in ATL_dupKBmm9_1_1_b1 () from /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf (gdb) bt #0 0x00007f6f079fe304 in ATL_dupKBmm9_1_1_b1 () from /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf #1 0x00007f6f0799abbc in ATL_dmmIJK2 () from /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf #2 0x00007f6f0799b331 in ATL_dmmIJK () from /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf #3 0x00007f6f07988c6b in ATL_dgemm () from /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf #4 0x00007f6f079a375d in ATL_dptgemm0 () from /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf #5 0x00007f6f0b553e9a in start_thread (arg=0x7f6f03132700) at pthread_create.c:308 #6 0x00007f6f0a116cbd in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:112 #7 0x0000000000000000 in ??
