Failure to link with MLK_RT under Windows

[maresb]

Description of your problem or feature request

There is a report on Discourse about an issue from a Windows user regarding a linking problem. @lucianopaz believes the issue is related to #947:

@opherdonchin , if it’s anything like the issue that I mentioned, you won’t be able to fix it using ldflags. Those will get a -l prepend and won’t link properly. The PR where I had fixed the old issue did some things to link to the full path of the dynamic link library, but it had to do so in aesara itself. I think that you’ll have to open an issue in aesara to get this fixed. I can help out with this after Monday

Versions and main components

• Aesara version: 2.8.2
• Aesara config (python -c "import aesara; print(aesara.config)")
• Python version: 3.10.6
• Operating system: Windows 10
• How did you install Aesara: mamba

[opherdonchin]

@maresb asked me to post the aesara config here in hopes that it will provide insight. Let me know if any other information will be helpful.

Value: False

compute_test_value ({'off', 'raise', 'pdb', 'ignore', 'warn'})
Doc: If 'True', Aesara will run each op at graph build time, using Constants, SharedVariables and the tag 'test_value' as inputs to the function. This helps the user track down problems in the graph before it gets optimized.

Value:

DebugMode__check_preallocated_output_ndim (<class 'int'>)
Doc: When testing with "strided" preallocated output memory, test all combinations of strides over that number of (inner-most) dimensions. You may want to reduce that number to reduce memory or time usage, but it is advised to keep a minimum of 2.

Doc: Allow (or not) parallel computation on the CPU with OpenMP. This is the default value used when creating an Op that supports OpenMP parallelization. It is preferable to define it via the Aesara configuration file ~/.aesararc or with the environment variable AESARA_FLAGS. Parallelization is only done for some operations that implement it, and even for operations that implement parallelism, each operation is free to respect this flag or not.

Doc: A ratio that prevent infinite loop in EquilibriumGraphRewriter.
Value: 8.0

cycle_detection ({'regular', 'fast'})
Doc: If cycle_detection is set to regular, most inplaces are allowed,but it is slower. If cycle_detection is set to faster, less inplacesare allowed, but it makes the compilation faster.The interaction of which one give the lower peak memory usage iscomplicated and not predictable, so if you are close to the peakmemory usage, triyng both could give you a small gain.
Value: regular

check_stack_trace ({'raise', 'warn', 'log', 'off'})

Thanks @opherdonchin for the extra info! I see that @brandonwillard has added the MWE needed tag. Would it be possible for you to strip your current model to the bare minimum required to reproduce the error, and then post it here? Thanks!

We may also need the commands used to build the (virtual) environment in which this issue occurs from scratch.

Also, don't use PyMC in these reproductions.

Hi @brandonwillard ,

I don't know enough about aesara to build an aesara model without pymc. Sorry about that.

I used a minimal environment for testing:

`mamba create --name pymc_env_aesara --channel conda-forge --strict-channel-priority pymc`

In response to @maresb request for the miminal model, this post includes the full minimal model (see below). In producing it, it seems to me that the key lines in the model may be:

    beta = pm.Normal('beta', mu=0, sigma=1.5, dims=['process', 'measure'])
    mu_y = pm.Deterministic('mu_y', pm.math.dot(x,beta), dims=['subject', 'measure'])

Because if these lines are replaced by the following:

    beta = pm.Normal('beta', mu=0, sigma=1.5, dims=['measure'])
    mu_y = pm.Deterministic('mu_y', beta, dims=['subject', 'measure'])

This error goes away (and is replaced with a different one).

Here is the full model:

Expand for the minimal model that generates the error.

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import pymc as pm


def latent_variable_model(y,x,P):
  s_idx, subject_list = pd.factorize(y.index)
  m_idx, measure_list = pd.factorize(y.columns)

  coords = {'subject': subject_list, 'measure': measure_list, 'process': range(P)}
  with pm.Model(coords=coords) as model:
    # Minimal model that generates the missing mkl_rt error
    beta = pm.Normal('beta', mu=0, sigma=1.5, dims=['process', 'measure'])
    mu_y = pm.Deterministic('mu_y', pm.math.dot(x,beta), dims=['subject', 'measure'])
    # Even more minimal model that does not generate the mkl_rt error. 
    # This model generates a pymc error that may be easy to fix.
    # beta = pm.Normal('beta', mu=0, sigma=1.5, dims=['measure'])
    # mu_y = pm.Deterministic('mu_y', beta, dims=['subject', 'measure'])

    obs_y = pm.Normal('obs_y', mu=mu_y, sigma=0.1, observed=y, dims=['subject', 'measure'])
  return model

y = pd.DataFrame(np.random.normal(loc=0.8, scale=0.3, size=(420,6)))
x = np.random.normal(loc=0.5, scale=0.1, size=(420,2))

model = latent_variable_model(y, x, 2)

with model:
  fit = pm.sample()

[brandonwillard]

@opherdonchin, can you try this again with a clean/new Conda installation?

[brandonwillard]

I don't know enough about aesara to build an aesara model without pymc. Sorry about that.

That's fine, but it means that the PyMC-related work being done in this issue should be done in a PyMC issue or Discussion first (i.e. until the Aesara parts of the issue are understood and reproducible). The basic idea is that readers and/or developers here may know nothing about PyMC, so it's less likely that progress would be made here than elsewhere, and that increases the chances of this becoming a stale issue.

[maresb]

Agreed. I should have mentioned that I pinged @lucianopaz, and he intends to take a look at this (in particular in relation to #947) when he finds the time.

[lucianopaz]

@opherdonchin, I reproduced your pymc model to see if I could dive into the issue further, but the model works for me.

I noticed that your aesara.config.blas__ldflags says -lmkl_rt only. Mine says: '-L"C:\\...\\anaconda3\\envs\\pymc-issue-test\\Library\\bin" -lmkl_core -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_rt'. So the problem you are seeing is caused by the missing library directory in the blas__ldflags. It's also strange that you don't have the other mkl libraries in those flags.

By any chance, are you attempting to modify the default blas__ldflags? There are three ways to do so:

• Set the value of aesara.config.blas__ldflags at the beginning of the script
• Set a special environment variable in your terminal, the terminal that created the notebook you are using, or inside a notebook cell
• Have an .aesararc file

If imagine that if you are not setting the aesara.config value in your script, it's highly unlikely that you are using environment variables by mistake. I think that the most likely cause to your problem is that you have an .aesararc file in one of the paths listed here that is leading to the incorrect blas flags setup. If you don't have this file, then this might indicate that there is some deeper problem with how aesara sets the default blas__ldflags (which I find very strange), or from where this configuration option is read.

[opherdonchin]

Hi @lucianopaz !

Thanks for the suggestions. In the related PyMC discourse discussion, you suggested I try adding the line:

aesara.config.blas__ldflags = f'"-L{os.path.join(sys.prefix, "Library", "bin")}" -lmkl_core -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_rt'

And that works! At least, it works in the stripped down environment with the stripped down script I made for this issue. I'll check the full version later but I don't see why there should be a problem.

I tried following up on the suggestions here as well. I did not find an AESARA_FLAGS or AESARARC environment variable and I also did not find a $HOME$.aesararc or $HOME\.aesararc.txt. Thus, I don't know how the aesara flags have gotten out of whack.

Is there a way to keep following this up beyond this point to identify the original problem? I mean, it is fixed for me, but it would be nice to know what went wrong.

I honestly don’t know how the blas flags could have gotten to the state they were. If you search for mkl in aesara you find that it’s set in a few scripts in the library, so I don’t understand what could have broken them. Maybe @brandonwillard has an idea?

[lucianopaz]

Here is another issue in pymc that is caused by aesara not seeing the correct default ldflags. Note that the environment lists all the relevant mkl libraries, but the config ends up having blas__ldflags=“-lblas”.

My Windows VM setup needs some repair, so I'm not able to try this at the moment. Was anyone else able to reproduce these issues locally?

[brandonwillard]

All right, my Windows 10 VM is back up. I created a clean environment as follows:
