Running executable under VTune causes hang

[Jonathan_L_Intel1]

Hi,

I am running an executable under VTune (2017 Update 2 (build 499904)). When I run the executable outside of Vtune, it exits normally and returns to the prompt in Linux (uname -a output: Linux sklad2.cluster.local 3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 3 00:04:05 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux). However in vtune it fails to return to prompt or in the GUI it fails to stop profiling. If I force-kill the application being profiled, no data has been recorded. The application continues to run and subsequently consumes more CPU resources than is expected. What is causing this behavior? What should I look at?

Hello Jonathan,

Could you please provide VTune output? Was the hang during application run under profiling or during result finalization phase when the app finished its work?

Thanks & Regards, Dmitry

Dmitry,

There is no output to report. VTune simply hangs upon running the profiling of the application. The application continues running, abnormally. It can only be killed with terminal signals such as 9 or 14. This is abnormal behavior for the application and for Vtune.
