This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. I updated fflas-ffpack in Rawhide and found that this bug not only continues to affect ppc64, but it now affects ppc64le as well. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle. Changing version to '29'. This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life.

Created attachment 1237820 [details] Notes taken while investigating the bug Description of problem: The fflas-ffpack package build currently fails on ppc64 due to a matrix multiplication producing NaNs in the output. This appears to be due to a bug in ATLAS, since the same code with the same inputs succeeds with openblas. I will attach a file of notes I took while investigating this bug. It contains the gdb dump of two (rather large) matrices that demonstrate the bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): atlas-3.10.2-14.fc26.ppc64 How reproducible: Apparently always. I have run the fflas-ffpack build at least a dozen times while investigating this issue, and it failed the same way every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build the fflas-ffpack package on ppc64. 2. 3. Actual results: The build hangs while running test-lu. This is due to a function that is waiting for a value to converge to 0. Since the value is a NaN, it never converges. Expected results: A valid matrix multiplication. Additional info: This doesn't happen with ppc64le, only with ppc64.
