Hi Jonathan,

Can you please upgrade to the recently released VTune Profiler 2020 version (available at Intel Registration Center) and verify if the problem is reproducible? Try on bare metal first.

If the problem persists, please set the debug variables below and then re-run the amplxe-cl collection.

TPSS_DEBUG=1

AMPLXE_LOG_LEVEL=TRACE

Once collection failed, please zip the result folder and share here for further exploration on our side. 

Regards, Katya

The problem did persist.  Attached is the contents of the results directory generated during a bare metal run, with the '-bad' suffix auto-appended by the software.

Thanks,

-Jonathan
