Hello,
I am trying to run vtune 2017 with the advanced-hotspots collection, and it does not seem to be capturing the entire run. Example output:
Collection start time 14:13:31 04/10/2017 UTC
Collection stop time 15:09:21 04/10/2017 UTC CPU
---
Parameter r012ah
----------------- -------------------------------------------------
Name Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5 Processor code named Jaketown
Frequency 2693511693
Logical CPU Count 32
Summary
-------
Elapsed Time: 3349.496
CPU Time: 3327.408
Average CPU Usage: 0.988
CPI Rate: 1.043
LD_LIBRARY_PATH= /home/tools/intel/vtune_amplifier_xe_2017/bin64/amplxe-cl 24505.38s user 220.91s system 100% cpu 6:50:30.18 total
So I ran this with 'time' wrapped around it, and time reported the entire thing took 24505 seconds, and it actually ended at approximately 21:00 UTC - but vtune is reporting a collection stop time of 15:09 UTC.
This same command line works with the non-advanced hotspots collection (and took around 32k seconds). This is repeatable - I have not been able to get advanced-hotspots results after many tries. I am not sure what could be going wrong - it seems like the collector is just dying. Sometimes I only get 60-100s of collection range for a 6 hour run.
Thanks in advance,
Braxton

The first thing that comes to my mind is Data Limit option. By default VTune stops collection when amount of data reaches 500MB. So if you haven't adjusted this limit it could explain the behavior you are seeing.
To turn off the data limit add '-data-limit=0' to the amplxe-cl command line.
Also - did you see any errors or warning in console/collection log during the profiling run?

Aaaagh, yes, that was the problem.
I had recently upgraded from the 2013 version, which did not have this behavior (or at least the defaults were different).
Sure would be nice if the tool said "Hey I stopped collecting because I ran out of allocated space".
