advisor: Cannot load data file (.trace)- data file is corrupted error

[Johnnyjax]

Hello,

I tried using intel advisor to profile my application by performing a roofline analysis. The survey analysis works well but running the trip-counts analysis fails. 

advisor: Opening result 59 % Loading 'tripcounts_404916_0.tcs' file
advisor: Error: Cannot load data file `/home/j152s822/reml-project/reml/hardware_project/advi/e000/hs000/data.1/tripcounts_404772_0.tcs' (Data file is corrupted).
advisor: Error: Cannot load data file `/home/j152s822/reml-project/reml/hardware_project/advi/e000/hs000/data.1/tripcounts_404777_0.tcs' (Data file is corrupted).
advisor: Opening result 74 % Processing information for light dynamic instructi

I also tried running the self-checker using "python3 adv_self_check.py" and I see a similar error. I have attached the log file from the self-checker.

Hi,

Good day to you.

Thanks for posting in Intel Communities.

We tried running Survey and Trip Counts using Intel Advisor on a matrix multiplication binary file in a Ubuntu machine and did not observe the issue reported by you. (log attached for reference)

To assist you better and to replicate the issue from our side, kindly get back to us with the following information

1. Sample reproducer code/binary along with the exact steps/commands that you used to reach to the error

2. OS and Kernal version along with the CPU information

$ cat /etc/os-release
$ uname -r
$ lscpu

I attached a sample python application since I get the same behavior with that.

To run: sudo advisor --collect=roofline --project-dir=./advi -- python test-app.py
