R abort when transcribing

[chaoliu-cl]

I encountered an R abort when performing transcription, which I suspect may be related to memory leaks. This issue occurs in versions 0.4.1, 0.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, and 0.3.1, but everything works fine with versions 0.3 and 0.2.2. I am running this on a Windows system. Below is my sessionInfo():

Can you provide the wav file and the code that you use to transcribe.
As well as the code and logs of the installation of the audio.whisper package

[chaoliu-cl]

I was just using the sample audio file and the example code:

audio <- system.file(package = "audio.whisper", "samples", "jfk.wav")
trans <- predict(model, newdata = audio, language = "en", n_threads = 2)

[jwijffels]

You need to show as well the the code and logs of the installation of the audio.whisper package.
The compilation instruction that are shown in the log are important as the end of the README says:

Note that if your hardware does not support these compilation flags, you'll get a crash when transcribing audio.

Maybe you installed the package with compilation settings which are not applicable to your machine.

The installation log is rather long but here it is below. Do you see any incompatibilities there?

You need to check if your hardware support these compilation flags: -mavx -mavx2 -mavx512f -mfma -mf16c -msse3 -mssse3

[chaoliu-cl]

I am using Intel Core i7-1165G7 machine and my CPU supports the following relevant flags:

• AVX2
• AVX
• FMA
• SSE4.2
• SSE4.1
• SSSE3
• SSE3
• SSE2
• SSE
• MMX

For the package installation, I think the relevant flags are:

• AVX
• AVX2
• FMA
• F16C

Then I followed your code in the README:

Sys.setenv(WHISPER_CFLAGS = "-mavx -mavx2 -mfma -mf16c")
remotes::install_github("bnosac/audio.whisper", ref = "0.3.3", force = TRUE)
Sys.unsetenv("WHISPER_CFLAGS")

But I still had the abortion issue.

[jwijffels]

What crash exactly are you getting?
Could you check from which cflag this is coming?
I can not reproduce this.

Maybe try with R 4.1.3 and RTools 4.0

I tested on some other devices. The other Intel machine (i5-11500T) also had a crash (R aborted without any error messages) but the AMD machine (Ryzen 7 PRO 7730U) was fine. They should all support these flags: AVX, AVX2, FMA, F16C. Below see the pictures for more information on these two devices:

You might want to set WHISPER_CFLAGS to "" when installing the package and gradually add more flags to see what is the culprit.
Or it might as well be linked to the compiler you have
