MATLAB + CULA Dense 14 on Windows 7 challenges

[raffayhamid]

Folks --

I'm trying to use the CULA link framework to call CULA blas and lapack routines from MATLAB. Following are some of the specs I have:

CULA version: Dense, R14
MATLAB version: R2011a
OS: Windows 7 x64
CUDA driver version: 4.1

According to one of the previous blog posts, I am uainf a .bat file to load MATLAB, where the content of the bat file are as follows:

%%%%%%%%
SET LAPACK_VERSION=cula_lapack_link.dll
SET BLAS_VERSION=cula_lapack_link.dll
SET LAPACK_VERBOSITY=1

if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" == "AMD64" set CULA_ILP64=1

set CULA_DEBUG_LOG=%USERPROFILE%\matlab_cula.log

set filename=%~f0
for %%F in ("%filename%") do set THISDIR=%%~dpF
"%THISDIR%matlab.exe"
%%%%%%%%%%%

I have the CULA bin path (C:\Program Files\CULA\R14\bin64) set in my system path.
However, when I load up my MATLAB using the above .bat file, and try the following command:

A = rand(1500,1500,'single');
tic; [u s v] = svd(A); toc

I get the following message:

cpu_id: x86 Family 6 Model 12 Stepping 2, GenuineIntel
libmwlapack: trying environment...
libmwlapack: loading cula_lapack_link.dll
libmwlapack: loaded cula_lapack_link.dll@000000003E640000
libmwlapack: cula_lapack_link.dll is not a compatibility layer.

The log file shows the following:

cula info: sgesvd (N, N, 1500, 1500, 0000000004FC0040, 1500, 000000003CC88AC0, 0000000000000000, 1500, 0000000000000000, 1500)
cula info: issuing to GPU (over threshold)
cula info: done
cula info: sgesvd (N, N, 1500, 1500, 0000000004FC0040, 1500, 000000003CC8A240, 0000000000000000, 1500, 0000000000000000, 1500)
cula info: issuing to CPU (work query)
cula info: work query returned 52500
cula info: done

I think that MATALB is not able to load/use the CULA version of BLAS/LAPACK, and therefore falls back on its native libraries.

Could anyone please advise me as to why I am being unable to call the CULA version of svd?

Many thanks!

You can safely ignore the messages produced by Matlab ("libmwlapack: cula_lapack_link.dll is not a compatibility layer."). The logfile indicates that you are calling the CULA routines by this line: "cula info: issuing to GPU"
