Check whether there are instructions on how to do that. Usually, you set it up so that collection ends by normal termination of the application. If it runs too long, and you have to abort it, adjust your application or the VTune configure parameters for a shorter run.<BR /> Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:47:49 GMT TimP 2008-07-10T22:47:49Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/quot-the-sampling-collector-was-stopped-before-it-could-finish/m-p/860188#M3361 <P>I configured a new project for "L2/L1 data load misses", and "ok". After I stop the run, there was nosampling result, and in the output window, I saw the message as "the sampling collector was stopped before it could finish collecting sampling data".</P> <P>What's wrong with this?</P> Thu, 10 Jul 2008 07:51:26 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/quot-the-sampling-collector-was-stopped-before-it-could-finish/m-p/860188#M3361 kalven 2008-07-10T07:51:26Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/quot-the-sampling-collector-was-stopped-before-it-could-finish/m-p/860189#M3362 It's been a while since I used VTune by starting and stopping manually, while the application remains running.
