Does Vtune 8.0 (or the lates) for Linux support Dual Core Itanium2 porcessor? BTW, my target kernel is 2.6.5.

Hello,

VTune 8.0.1 released in July, 2006 does support Dual-Core Intel Itanium 2 processor 9000 sequence.

The build #449 can be downloaded from premier.intel.com.

File: vtune_linux_8.0.1.449.tar.gz

Then how about Version vtune_linux_8.0.245.tar.gz?

Does it also support Dual-Core Intel Itanium 2 processor 9000 sequence?

Hi,

No, the build 8.0.245 doesn't support Dual-Core processors - the processors weren't public on the moment of the release (Oct 2005).

The support is available only since VTune 8.0.1 release.

BTW If you havelicense for 8.0 version - it will work with 8.0.1 as well.

Katya

Hi Katya,

Thank you for this valuable information. Finally I managed to download the 8.0.1 version.

Best regards,

Hi Katya,

In case of dual core machines with dual core processors, should there be two instances of vtune_drv.

My system has 2 dual core Xeons.

I have a feeling that sometimes, VTune is not sampling the right CPU on which the process is running.

I am running VTune 9.0
