Intel Advisor trip-count analysis halts

dimitrios_savvaoglou — Sat, 21 Jan 2023 01:35:22 GMT

Hello everyone! I have downloaded & installed the Intel Advisor software and I have been trying to perform a tripcount analysis in order to count how many times each function is called within a specific software program. The problem is that, while the survey analysis runs as normal, the tripcount analysis halts at this point:

dimsavv@dimsavv-virtual-machine:~/inputs$ advisor --collect=tripcounts --flop --project-dir=./advi -- ../WRF/test/em_real/wrf.exe

Intel(R) Advisor Command Line Tool
Copyright (C) 2009-2023 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.
advisor: Opening result 25 % done
advisor: Preparing frequently used data 63 % done
advisor: Preparing frequently used data 100 % done
advisor: Collection started. To stop the collection, either press CTRL-C or enter from another console window: advisor -r /home/dimsavv/inputs/advi/e000/trc000 -command stop.
starting wrf task 0 of 1
advisor: Opening result 52 % Processing information for light dynamic instructi

Does anyone know why this is happening? Any information is welcome. Let me note that I am using Ubuntu 20.04 through a virtual machine and not on my native PC.

Alternatively, if there is no solution to the problem, can anyone please tell me if there is another way to count all the function calls for my program?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

It doesn't halts but counts Dynamic Instruction mix (a number of instructions of each type/group). Sometimes it can take a while indeed (e.g. a lot of binaries to analyze or binaries are huge). As a workaround I'd recommend to re-run survey with --static-instruction-mix option. If it doesn't help you could also try to exclude some unrelated modules from analysis with --module-filter-mode=exclude --module-filter=foo1.so,foo2.so options.
