Vtune 2019 update1 GPU OpenCL gpu-hotspots profiling failed: "GpuNewKernelLibInitError"

Hi team, I got an error when start Vtune 2019 update1 gpu-hotspots profiling: "GpuNewKernelLibInitError".

Anyone can help ?

Following is my log:

root@cmpl:~/workspace/opencl/intel_ocl_gemm_linux/GEMM# amplxe-cl -collect gpu-hotspots -- ./gemm

Hi fkdjlsa,

Could you please collect additional logs? In order to collect them, you need to run following commands:
# export AMPLXE_LOG_LEVEL=TRACE
# export AMPLXE_LOG_DIR=<path_to_existing_dir>
# <path_to_vtune>/bin64/amplxe-runss --context-value-list > "$AMPLXE_LOG_DIR/context_values.log" 2>&1
create an archive with logs and attach it to a post.
Also could you please provide additional information about the kernel version and the full version of Intel OpenCL runtime that is installed on your system?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply @Egor.

Thanks for your reply @Egor. I've attached the log files. Also you can find the clinfo.log and kernel_version.log at the amplex-log directory.

Also Attach the log generated

Also Attach the log generated after I run the command: amplxe-cl -collect gpu-hotspots -- ./gemm

Hi fkjdlsa,

Thank you for the logs! According to logs, VTune cannot initialize MD API libraries. There are two MD API libraries on your system:
1. It seems that first library has been installed together with Intel OpenCL runtime and it is placed in /opt/intel/opencl. This library has a limitation and can work together only with patched kernel 4.4 or 4.7 (it depends on which patches are present in /opt/intel/opencl). It is expected that this library cannot be initialized when new kernel is used.
2. Second library is a part of VTune and can work with kernels 4.14 or newer.

Could you please do following:
1. Rename old version of MD library and rebuild ld cache:
# mv /opt/intel/opencl/libmd.so /opt/intel/opencl/md.so.bak
# ldconfig

2. Set environments variables for VTune
# export AMPLXE_LOG_LEVEL=TRACE
# export AMPLXE_LOG_DIR=<path_to_existing_dir>

3. MD library writes its log to syslog, so clear it
# truncate -s 0 /var/log/syslog

4. Run VTune test command
# <path_to_vtune>/bin64/amplxe-runss --context-value-list > "$AMPLXE_LOG_DIR/context_values.log" 2>&1

5. Dump syslog
# cat /var/log/syslog > "$AMPLXE_LOG_DIR/syslog.log"

6. And please provide information about your Intel GPU device
# lspci -n | grep 03 > "$AMPLXE_LOG_DIR/lspci.log"

and attach these logs to a post.
Thanks!

Hi Egor, thanks for your

Hi Egor, thanks for your instruction, the problem solved! I met another problem, vtune use system default gcc which is gcc 5.2 but my program build with gcc 4.9, erros happen when I run gpu in-kernel profiling, How can I specify gcc for vtune?

Hi fkjdlsa,

I'm sorry but I don't fully understand the problem that you are encountering. Could you please describe it in more details?
Also what do you mean by "vtune use system default gcc"?
Thanks!
