RHBA-2012:0402 - atlas bug fix update

Synopsis

atlas bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated atlas packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project is a research effort focusing on applying empirical techniques providing portable performance. The atlas packages provide C and Fortran77 interfaces to a portably efficient BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) implementation and routines from LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKKage).

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, binary files from the base atlas package contained illegal instructions from an incompatible instruction set (3DNow!). As a consequence, an "Illegal instruction" error was displayed. This update disables usage of the instruction set. (BZ#723350)

All users of atlas are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
