MKL library error when using Neanderthal in Clojure - clojure

Question

I'm trying to use the Neanderthal library in Clojure but I keep getting an error when executing any rand-normal! and rand-uniform!. I've installed the Intel MKL library, executed the mklvars.bat as mklvars intel64 file to set the environment variables, but then I checked the env. variables and since it didn't add anything new, I've added them manually. What can I do to make it to work?
I'm using Windows 10 64 bits.
This is my code:
(ns testing-grounds.neanderthal.core
(:gen-class)
(:require [uncomplicate.neanderthal
[native :refer [dv dge fv fge native-float]]
[core :refer [submatrix native dot mm ge]]
[math :refer [sqrt log sin pi sqr]]
[random :refer [rand-normal! rand-uniform! rng-state]]]))
(def x (dv 1 2 3))
;; => #'testing-grounds.neanderthal.core/x
(def y (dv 10 20 30))
;; => #'testing-grounds.neanderthal.core/y
(dot x y)
;; => 140.0
(def a (dge 3 2 [1 2 3 4 5 6]))
;; => #'testing-grounds.neanderthal.core/a
(def b (dge 2 3 [10 20 30 40 50 60]))
;; => #'testing-grounds.neanderthal.core/b
(mm a b)
;; => #RealGEMatrix[double, mxn:3x3, layout:column, offset:0]

(def x
"Define an empty float vector"
(fv 5))
;; => #'testing-grounds.neanderthal.core/x
(rand-uniform! x)
; Error
(def a (fge 3 2))
;; => #'testing-grounds.neanderthal.core/a
(rand-normal! 33 2.5 a)

Edit: I've tried this script on another computer and it worked. It must be something wrong with my computer.

Answer 1

Intel MKL error code -1140 is VSL_RNG_ERROR_ARS5_NOT_SUPPORTED.
You can look up error codes by grepping the header files in your installation. On my macOS computer it was this file: /opt/intel/oneapi/mkl/2021.1.1/include/mkl_vsl_defines.h

Answer 2

ARS-5 is available only on microarchitectures with AES-NI instructions, and in case if the application would be launched on microarchitecture which doesn’t support AES-NI instructions, then VSL RNG routines will return VSL_RNG_ERROR_ARS5_NOT_SUPPORTED status code.
