Error testing dsgesv and zcgesv

[fletchjp]

I have installed MAGMA 1.0 RC2 on a system running Ubuntu Linux 10.4 (64 bit) and have CUDA 3.2 installed.
I have an 8 core CPU and 8 Gbytes of main memory. The GPU reports as follows:
device 0: GeForce GTX 460, 1400.0 MHz clock, 2047.2 MB memory
I am using gcc and gfortran and have GotoBLAS2 installed.

I have been testing MAGMA routines and many work. testing_dsgesv_gpu and testing_zcgesv fail with the following message:

device 0: GeForce GTX 460, 1400.0 MHz clock, 2047.2 MB memory

Usage:
testing_zcgesv_gpu -nrhs 1 -N 1024

Epsilon(double): 1.110223e-16

1024MAGMA Error: On Routine magma_zcgesv argument number -4200715 had an illegal value

I deduced from some tests that this is because info is unset on exit from the routines. I have "fixed" this by setting *info = 0 at the start of the routines, but this is clearly just covering up a lack of correct reporting somewhere further on.
The routines then run.

I wanted to get this to you quickly as you are still in RC status.

I hope this helps.

I can report my results if that is useful.

Thank you for your efforts on this.

Thanks for this report. We corrected the problems. The fixes will be available by the end of the week in MAGMA 1.0 RC3.
