My application seg faults, when collecting call-graph data using Vtune. It used Quick Threads. </DIV> Wed, 30 Jun 2004 21:51:31 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/Threading-other-than-pthreads/m-p/950975#M8086 rzippelius 2004-06-30T21:51:31Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/Threading-other-than-pthreads/m-p/950976#M8087 <DIV>Hmmmm.

Linux pthreads are being mapped into Linux processes, which gives them very poor performance compared to QuickThreads or other threading packages that run WITHIN a process. The very purpose of threads is to offer concurrency in code execution WITHOUT the heavy overhead of a full processes. <BR />This is why high performance applications rarely use pthreads. Considering how increasingly important multi-threading is becoming ( after all the latest generation of Intel's own Pentium 4 has built in hyperthreading support), I am quite puzzled that Vtune only support pthreads. </DIV> Wed, 07 Jul 2004 21:01:50 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/Threading-other-than-pthreads/m-p/950977#M8088 rzippelius 2004-07-07T21:01:50Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/Threading-other-than-pthreads/m-p/950978#M8089 <DIV></DIV> <DIV>It's really just a timing issue. I expect that at some point in the future the VTune analyzer will support other threading solutions.</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>What threading solutions are you Linux developers using out there? Can you provide some direction to Intel for future support?</DIV> <DIV></DIV><P>Message Edited by DaveA on <SPAN class="date_text">07-07-2004</SPAN> <SPAN class="time_text">10:40 AM</SPAN></P> Thu, 08 Jul 2004 00:39:57 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/Threading-other-than-pthreads/m-p/950978#M8089 David_A_Intel1 2004-07-08T00:39:57Z
