MKL Pardiso with multiple threads
I am encountering a problem when trying to set the number of threads for the MKLPardisoSolver. In this example, I set the number of threads to 2:
using Pardiso, LinearAlgebra, SparseArrays
n = 4
m = 3
A = sparse([ 1. 0 -2 3
0 5 1 2
-2 1 4 -7
3 2 -7 5 ])
B = rand(n,m)
ps = MKLPardisoSolver()
set_msglvl!(ps, Pardiso.MESSAGE_LEVEL_ON)
set_nprocs!(ps, 2)
X1 = solve(ps, A, B)
get_nprocs(ps)
However, the last line get_nprocs(ps) returns 1. Running the script, produces the following output:
=== PARDISO is running in In-Core mode, because iparam(60)=0 ===
Percentage of computed non-zeros for LL^T factorization
25 % 100 %
*** Error in PARDISO ( numerical_factorization) error_num= -1

Again it seems like only one thread is used. I am using a Late 2013 MacBook Pro with Julia 1.1. Multicore Pardiso 6.0 works for me
The set_nprocs! calls into mkl_domain_set_num_threads with the domain 4 which should be the Pardiso domain. Not sure why that wouldn't work.
Something seems off with your MKL, it works for me
julia> ps = MKLPardisoSolver();
julia> set_nprocs!(ps, 2)
julia> get_nprocs(ps)
2
julia> set_nprocs!(ps, 8)
julia> get_nprocs(ps)
8
Perhaps upgrade your MKL?
Sorry to open this again.
I updated and reinstalled Julia/Pardiso and IntelMKL and still can't use set_nprocs!(). All the unit tests pass except for
Pardiso.MklInt = Int32

Any idea what else I could try?
Does it work if you do not have the non-MKL Pardiso loaded? Remove ENV["JULIA_PARDISO"], run build Pardiso and try re-run the tests.
I had some issues with this when both having MKL and non-MKL Pardiso loaded in the same session (see https://github.com/JuliaSparse/Pardiso.jl/pull/67). See the note in the README:
Note: Weird errors and problems with MKL Pardiso has been observed when Pardiso 6.0 is enabled (likely because some library that is needed by Pardiso 6.0 is problematic with MKL). If you want to use MKL Pardiso it is better ot just disable Paridso 6.0 by not setting the environment variable JULIA_PARDISO (and rerunning build Pardiso).
Thanks a lot. That seems to have solved the problem. That's a weird bug.

Pardiso library
===============
Looking for libraries with name: libpardiso600-MACOS-X86-64.dylib.
INFO: use the `JULIA_PARDISO` environment variable to set a path to the folder where the Pardiso library is located
Looking in "/Users/Micha/.julia/packages/Pardiso/yZsYO/deps" for libraries
did not find libpardiso, assuming PARDISO 5/6 is not installed
MKL Pardiso
=============
found MKLROOT environment varaible, enabling local MKL
and
ps = MKLPardisoSolver();
julia> set_nprocs!(ps, 2)
julia> get_nprocs(ps)

We have to open some libraries for non-MKL Pardiso to work and I am guessing one of them causes some issue with MKL...
