Neanderthal unpacks mkl bindings multiple times in one REPL/executable session

This also happens if you run a jar on the command line:

I have a feeling this involves how the classloader interacts with static class initialization. In the toNeanderthal method I dereference a delay created at class initialization time.

In the demo here, neanderthal's binary mkl distribution is unpacked 3 times -- something that I can't image is great for performance and if the symbols themselves are loaded 3 times into the executable that also isn't ideal. You can run that demo by cd'ing into that directory and typing scripts/install-run.

This is true whether the javacpp MKL bindings are included in the deps or not.

So far this doesn't matter really aside from logging output but I think it is good to track this.

[cnuernber]

It is related specifically to printing the matrix:

I think that lowers the priority quite a bit.

Hi Chris,

Can you please provide a "pure" Neanderthal test where that happens, so I can investigate?

[cnuernber]

Yes, after playing a bit:

Hi Chris,

I can reproduce this behavior using the Hello World example project: https://github.com/uncomplicate/neanderthal/blob/master/examples/hello-world/src/hello_world/native.clj

When the namespace is loaded the native library is extracted, which is expected.

When the result of (mm a b) is printed out in the REPL, the same DEBUG message appears. That is not expected.

Good news: it only happens at the first implicit printing in the process. Repeated evaluations do not display any logging output.

(A kind of) bad news: I have no idea why this happens, other than Clojure agent confusing the native loader of the 3rd party library.

(A kind of) good news: Loading by sending off agent before namespace loading is not strictly necessary. I introduced that to solve issues on loading native libraries on macOS that some users reported. I don't know whether this is still necessary. If anyone using macOS can check this (I don't have a Mac right now), that might simplify things a bit, and possibly solve this issue. This is the commit where it was introduced: https://github.com/uncomplicate/neanderthal/commit/029f38df9f9b8b5d20fd6cf933e0432aecebaa3a#diff-b91149db483e701376ea3134542bfcf8439747f06acc873396e7510baa161b6a

[cnuernber]

It is the static initializers for CBLAS, MKL, and LAPACK. The first time each one of these is loaded it's loader unpacks mkl so you can get the unpack to happen 3 times.
