Can't identify nehalem CPU architecture on Windows

dwl1 — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:01:35 GMT

I'm running VTune analyzer demo on a Windows 2008 Server (64-bit) box with dual X5570 (Core i7) Xeon processors.

Call graphing works fine, but sampling fails because it cannot identify the CPU architecture.

Is there a fix for this?

Quoting - dwl1

Are you sure that you are using latest product v9.1 Update 2?

If you already installed v9.1 Update 2, but can't find event ratios for Intel Core i7 processors - please read http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/can-not-find-event-ratios-for-intelr-coretm-i7-processors/

Hi Peter,

Thanks for replying.

I'm using the eval, downloaded two weeks ago. Help/About indicates is v9.0, so that's probably it. I think I've found the 9.1U2 download, I'll post back when it's installed/tested.

Thanks,
Dan

This worked.

Just a note, I originally downloaded the Thread Profiler and was using the Vtune bundled therein ... the most recent threadf Profile bunder seems to contain an old version of VTune.
