0/04: Matlab and AMD Athlon 64 issue
This issue has been bugging me from the start of my current semester at NIIT (NUST Institute of IT).

I have a 6 months old AMD Athlon64 processor (Winchester) based PC running Windows XP Professional and wanted to use Matlab 7 Release 14 (7.0.0.19920) on it for my Numerical Analysis course. The software installed fine. However, on clicking the desktop shortcut, the program showed the splash screen but then suddenly quit. I wasn't sure as to what was causing it.

I have been struggling with this issue for some months and have finally found a solution. At least, this solution worked on my PC.


Follow the steps below:

1 - Open %MATLAB7%\bin\win32 in Windows Explorer or through My Computer. '%MATLAB7%' here is the path where you installed MATLAB.

2 - Find the file named 'blas.spec'. Open this file in Wordpad. You will see a listing like this:

GenuineIntel Family 5 Model * atlas_PPro.dll # Pentium
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 1 atlas_PPro.dll # Pentium Pro
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 3 atlas_PII.dll # Pentium II (Klamath)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 5 atlas_PII.dll # Pentium II (Deschutes)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 6 atlas_PII.dll # Celeron
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 7 atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium III (Katmai)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 8 atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium III (Coppermine)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 9 atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium M
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 10 atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium III (Cascades)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 11 atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium III (Mobile)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model * atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium III
GenuineIntel Family 15 Model * atlas_P4.dll # Pentium 4
AuthenticAMD Family 5 Model * atlas_PII.dll # AMD-K6
AuthenticAMD Family 6 Model * atlas_Athlon.dll # Athlon/Duron
AuthenticAMD Family 15 Model 4 atlas_Athlon.dll # Athlon 64
AuthenticAMD Family 15 Model 5 atlas_Athlon.dll # Opteron

3 - Scroll down and add the following two lines at the end:

AuthenticAMD Family 15 Model 12 atlas_Athlon.dll # Athlon 64 (Newcastle)
AuthenticAMD Family 15 Model * atlas_Athlon.dll # AMD64

4 - Save the file (Ctrl+S).

5 -Start Matlab.

I hope this solution works for you. I have read about setting the environment variable 'blas_version' to some other value but I didn't need to find and/or modify it. My copy of Matlab worked fine after the above mentioned changes.

Good luck with your Matlab programming!

(23-08-06) - Edit: I am now using Matlab R2006a. This version has no issues with running on AMD processors and is working perfectly on my PC.
