Processor not recognized by VTune

Whenever I try to use Hardware Event-Based Sampling in VTune, I get the following two error messages: This analysis type is not applicable to the system because VTune Amplifier cannot recognize the processor. If this is a new Intel processor, please check for an updated version of VTune Amplifier. If this is an unreleased Intel processor, please contact Online Service Center for an NDA product package. This analysis type is not applicable to the current machine microarchitecture. I'm using a laptop with an Intel Core i7-4710HQ @ 2.50GHz [Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3, GenuineIntel].

Please take a look at this thread: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-vtune-amplifier/topic/806896

If your system is running under a supervisor, you might have faced the same issue.

When I launch sep -version I see the following output:

I'm assuming PEBS OFF (by OS security) is the issue here?

SEP User Mode Version: 5.14
SEP Driver Version: 5.14
PAX Driver Version: 1.0

Jan,

The thread https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/vtune/topic/827651 may be related.  In particular post #8, where sep is redirected to a file.  I asked for an update on my support ticket late on Friday.

Yes I seem to have the same issue. When outputting to a file I get this:

Sampling Enabling Product version: 5.14  built on Nov 26 2019 11:44:09
SEP User Mode Version: 5.14 
SEP Driver Version: 5.14 
PAX Driver Version: 1.0

The cutoff point seems to be the same even.

I also ran into something else that may be related. When using User-Mode sampling I get the following error:

Cannot load data file 'C:\Users\Startklaar\Documents\Amplifier XE\Projects\Raytricca\r000hs\data.0\emon.0.emon' (Failed to read CPU topology information!).

yes. emon will be fixed in the next public release too.

sep/emon fixes will be available in oneApi beta update 4. Update will be released in the nearest days. I think you could subsrcribe on beta program and get fix.

Another way is update 1 for parallel studio. It should be available at the end of March.

If you have access to Intel® Premier Support (IPS) the fix could be provided for you directly.

Sorry for inconvenience, Kirill
