Error in Intel VTune Amplifier XE 2013

[danielsue]

Hi All,

I have build a parallel program and it works well. But when I run VTune hotspots Analysis, I got the following error

OMP: Error #136: Cannot create thread.
OMP: System error #1455: The paging file is too small for this operation to complete.
OMP: Error #178: Function GetExitCodeThread() failed:
OMP: System error #6: The handle is invalid.

OS: WIN7 X64 Pro

Compiler: Intel Parallel Studio XE2013 (Fortran)

CPU: Intel xeon E5

Memory: 16GB

I have checked automatically manage paging file size for all drives and the current allocated paging file is 16GB. Running my test only cost about 200MB, there should be enough space for both paging file and physical memory. Anything wrong with my setting?

Thanks and regards,

Daniel

Yes, I tried it.

(1) When use "System managed size" VM, the error information are as follows:

OMP: Error #136: Cannot create thread.
OMP: System error #1455: The paging file is too small for this operation to complete.
OMP: Error #178: Function GetExitCodeThread() failed:
OMP: System error #6: The handle is invalid.

(2) When use "Custom Size" VM, the error information are as follows:

(3) After updating the VTune to the latest version ,the error information are as follows:

Daniel, could you provide some details on what happened when you've changed VM settings to use 'Custom Size'? Did you try it?

You could try to set a smaller size for OMP_STACKSIZE environment variable at runtime as follows: ... int iRetCode = _putenv( "OMP_STACKSIZE=32K" ); if( iRetCode == 0 ) printf( "OMP_STACKSIZE=%s\n"), getenv( "OMP_STACKSIZE" ); else printf( "Error: Failed to Set Environment Variable OMP_STACKSIZE\n" ); ...

This you can ignore.

These Release DLLs do not have any Debug information and there is nothing wrong here ( it's by design ).

[Bernard]

Yes I told him.

Hi Sergey,

Your suggestion works.

I set the stack size to a large value before as I have to do some serious work. After reducing the stack size, I can run VTune normally.

I use VS2010 and set the stack size through property page, not runtime. Is it possible to set stack size at runtime in Fortran?

Thanks and regards,

Daniel

Great:) sometimes the simplest solution is the best one.

Thanks for the update. >>...I use VS2010 and set the stack size through property page, not runtime. These values ( Stack Reserve and Stack Commit ) are for the application in whole and they're not used by OpenMP when it creates new threads for processing. >>...Is it possible to set stack size at runtime in Fortran? I think Yes if it has a function that sets Environment Variable, that is similar to CRT function _putenv.
