VTune Performance Snapshot crashes on simple Java program

[Pietruszek]

I'm trying to profile a quite small and simple command-line Java program in Intel VTune. I can run the Hotspots/Threading/Memory Access analysis without any issues, but when I run the Performance Snapshot analysis, it crashes.

Here's my configuration from the WHAT pane of VTune:

Launch Application

Application: java.exe
Application parameters: -cp "D:\Users\ZPO\Documents\benchmarksgame\binarytrees\Picked" binarytrees 21
Use application directory as working directory: yes

And here's the output I get:

Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -agentlib:amplxe_samplingmrte_javaprof_1.0
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not find agent library amplxe_samplingmrte_javaprof_1.0 on the library path, with error: Can't find dependent libraries

It looks like the same library is used successfully during the other analyses - the crash only happens when doing the Performance Snapshot analysis.

My Java version:

> java.exe --version
java 11.0.10 2021-01-19 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.10+8-LTS-162)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.10+8-LTS-162, mixed mode)  

My VTune version:

Intel oneAPI VTune Profiler 2021.3.0
Product build: 616728

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities. Could you please share with us the following details so that we can investigate further from our end:

1. Is the result folder getting created? It would be of the form rXXXps

2. The crash log obtained after the crash. It can be obtained by searching vtune logs from %tmp%\amplxe-log-<username> in windows.

Regards

1. Yes, the folder does get created

2. I'm attaching all of the logs created after one attempt of running this specific Performance Snapshot

And since I noticed that my phrasing could potentially be misleading, I'll clarify just to be sure: VTune profiler doesn't crash. When, I close the "almost empty" profiling report, I can continue profiling other things. But running the Performance Snapshot does crash the JVM instance trying to run my Java program. And when it's the Hotspots/Threading/Memory Access analysis, it runs correctly and takes around 6-9 seconds to profile.

Hi,

Thank you for providing the information. Could you also please share with us the result folder that you obtained after profiling?

Ok, I'm patiently waiting for this issue to be resolved.

In the meantime I also managed to fetch the requested result folder.
