Intel Architecture Code Analyzer Error

Mahieddine_D_ — Mon, 14 Apr 2014 11:48:24 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am new here and it is my first post on this forum.

I just started using intel Architecture code analyzer (IACA) and when I tried to run it I had the following error as output:

"Initialization failed"

I looked in the Intel Documentation but I didn't find this error in their List.

Any kind of help will be really appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Mahieddine

Can you post more detailed description of the error if possible?

Hi,

Hi,

Thanks for your interest.

Well when I run iaca -o output.txt apps.exe I get only :"Initilaization failed" without any other specifications, thing that make it harder to figure it where does this error come from.

By the way my application works correctly, so there is no problem form that side. I was wondering that my be I missed placed the marks:

IACA_START and IACA_END?

Thanks,

Mahieddine

Do not you have any error

Bernard — Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:36:43 GMT

Do not you have any error messages thrown by the Windows?

Can you search IACA directory for any log files?

You can also try to run IACA

You can also try to run IACA under windows debugger.If you need assistance please inform me.

No messages thrown or Logs

No messages thrown or Logs unfortunately!!

Bernard — Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:43:59 GMT

Looks like memory(maybe heap allocation) error.It is hard to know without any meaningful description beside that "Initialization failed" message

As I advised you earlier please try to run IACA under debugger.I hope that windbg could catch the error.Before doing that you can set all exception on in windbg command prompt.Use following command sxe and rerun the IACA if there is no break into debugger on first-Chance please use sxd command and rerun IACA now it should break into debugger on second-Chance exception.

Thank you guys for all your

Hi I have forgotten to add that you can create IACA proces memory dump directly from task manager or process explorer.

Maybe posting on different forum will be more helpful?

do you run in Windows or

Tal_U_Intel — Mon, 14 Apr 2014 22:31:13 GMT

do you run in Windows or Linux?

If this is Linux you should run using iaca.sh script

Thanks,

@Tal

I think that @Mahieddine is running Windows.

"Well when I run iaca -o output.txt apps.exe "

I just tried both win32 and

Tal_U_Intel — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 06:51:35 GMT

I just tried both win32 and win64 release from whatif.intel.com and they worked for me

This error message usually mean the analyzer failed to load the correct dll.

check if you have any iaca directory in your path, if you have older versions of the analyzer on your computer it might have used an old dll.

Thanks,

Tal

Thanks for clarifying that

Thanks for clarifying that cryptic error message.

Hi all,

Mahieddine_D_ — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 07:08:35 GMT

Hi all,

I am runing iaca on a linux platform.

and I am using the iaca command and no the iaca.sh. I followed those step to get it working :

Add the bin/ directory to the PATH environment variable.
Add the lib/ directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
Include include/iacaMarks.h in your code.

so now the iaca command is recognized by the prompt.

Hi I have a similar problem.

Hi I have a similar problem. I am getting the error "Initialization failed" as well. I have added bin to PATH and the lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.I downloaded the binary and the libraries on my laptop, an Intel Westmere machine. IACA ran correctly on my laptop.

I then moved the binaries and libraries to the supercomputer Edison (http://www.nersc.gov/users/computational-systems/edison/), which has intel ivy bridge nodes. I set the environment variables on this machine as well.

Without an input file, the tool runs :

protonu@edison01:~> iaca

When given an input, it fails, giving the message:

Initialization failed

Any help will be very useful.

I see exactly same problem as

Pramod_K_ — Wed, 19 Nov 2014 10:49:30 GMT

I see exactly same problem as mentioned above by Protonu B. I try to run with gdb which gives error code 015.

Any suggestion?

I am seeing the same issue on pleiades at NASA/Ames using iaca-lin64.zip (downloaded on 5 Dec. 2014.
