Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-12225:
----------------------------------------
Ok, thank you. It appears this is crashing on a SSE 4.1 instruction, which your
processor doesn't support. Our Arrow binaries are compiled with SSE 4.2
enabled. Later AMD processors (post-2012) will work fine.
> Illegal Instruction error on import pyarrow on AMD system
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-12225
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12225
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Environment: CentOS, Miniconda, python 3.8.8, pyarrow 3.0.0 (previous
> versions same problem), AMD Opteron 6128 CPU (no problem on Intel Xeon)
> Reporter: Yannik Schälte
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: bt.txt, disassemble.txt, py-bt.txt
>
>
> On a machine with AMD processor, an "Illegal Instruction" error occurs
> directly on "import pyarrow", no further information is given.
> The same setup works on other machines (all of which have various Intel
> processors). Happy to provide further details, not sure what's needed, any
> indication what could be the cause are welcome.
>
> To reproduce:
> ```
> wget [https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh]
> bash Miniconda3_latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
> pip install pyarrow -y
> python -c "import pyarrow"
> ```
