Hello, everyone.
I want to run my pytorch codes on a board with ARM processor(aarch64).
The OS on that board is linux(Ubuntu 14.04).
I have tried so many things to build Pytorch on it but all failed.
Simple installation using Anaconda(or miniconda) has failed.
It seems Anaconda does not support aarch64 at all.
(original 86-64, arm7l, ppc64le binaries do not work with my board which has an aarch64 processor)
So I installed some dependencies using pip and somehow managed to reach to a point to build the pytorch from source, and the messages from setup.py tells me that configuring and generating process of CMAKE was successfully done.
But the build process stopped at some point with the following messages.
…
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)

So the question is, does pytorch support aarch64 processor?
And if so, it would be very much appreciated if anyone can tell me where I am doing wrong, or an easier way to build it.
Thank you
p.s.: I failed to install the MKL library on that board too. So I instead installed openBLAS. I heard that performance gap btw. MKL and openBLAS are huge and runtime of the algorithm is very important in my project. Is there any suggestion or advice to install MKL on aarch64 processor? Thanks!
