Intel Inspector taking to much time.

[Akhilesh_Naidu]

Hello Team,

I am using Intel Inspector for a small design which takes around 2 hours to complete. 

Right now I am running the same task in Intel inspector and its been 48 hours and the result is still not generated. 

What changes should I make ?

Hi Gopika,

PFB the required details.

using the latest version on OS redhat 6.7. I did a detect memory problems analysis for my code. 

I am running a big design so can not provide you a sample reproducer code.

Hi Akhilesh,

Intel Inspector analysis has big overhead in comparison to native application execution. Exact slowdown depends on selected analysis options and application code execution. To have reasonable analysis time, it is better to select smaller workloads sufficient to trigger correctness problem.

In some cases, added overhead also triggers algorithmic issues that don’t show up during native execution (e.g. timeouts, threads ordering, memory blocks allocation layout). Running both threading- and memory- analysis on the same workload could help to locate those problems.

Intel Inspector GUI has real-time chart of running application. Its details section has table of active application threads that might help to distinguish application hang from analysis overhead with a certain level of confidence. E.g. having thread inside if system call and zero calls since last check, might be a sign that it is waiting on some lock.
