Run vtune on host, and there are warnings "amplxe: Warning: Cannot locate debugging symbols for file `/lib64/libc-2.12.so' " and ".amplxe: Warning: Cannot locate debugging symbols for file `/usr/bin/ssh' "

The program run on xeon phi mic.

Does the warnnings have infulence to the result? why this happen as the xxx.so is just there?

1. You need to specify search path that VTune will re-solve the symbol for result, based on path (on host side)

2. Basic hotspots is not available on MIC, please use advanced-hotspots instead.(Now your result wass for Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5 processor)

3. Please use latest VTune Amplifier XE 2015 U3.

For example:

amplxe-cl -c advanced-hotspots -target-system=mic-native:1 -search-dir=$dir  -- path-program args

You can ignore warning info that the tool cannot locate symbol info on some modules, like glibc.

Using above CLI, you don't need to specify "ssh" - although that was workable in 2013 version.

Thanks for your allert! I didn't notice the basic hotspots not workable.

I use advanced-hotspots instead, and can see event summary when finished:

what does this mean?  It's host. I'm sure the program runs on MIC with 240 threads.

--------

where do I find more information about using amplxe-cl to test a program on MIC?

[root@amax inputs]# amplxe-cl -collect advanced-hotspots  -target-system=mic-native:1 -search-dir=/home/wang/blackscholes    --  ' cd /home/kwang/blackscholes &&  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/wang/lib  && ./blackscholes   240 ../inputs/in_10M.txt ../ouput'

amplxe: Error: Amplifier cannot detect Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor configuration.
amplxe: Fatal error: Cannot create analysis type. Check input parameters or reinstall the product. 

I used vtune_amplifier_xe_2015.2.0.393444, the command without ssh is failed.

First, my opinion is to write a script for - ' cd /home/kwang/blackscholes &&  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/wang/lib  && ./blackscholes   240 ../inputs/in_10M.txt ../ouput'       

Second, ensure if VTune works on MIC without target application:

#amplxe-cl -collect advanced-hotspots  -target-system=mic-native -d 5 ; are you sure that you use mic1?

If failed, need to check if vtune driver is loaded on MIC:

ssh mic1 lsmod | grep sep

If vtune driver is not loaded, please run:

vtune_amplifier_xe_2015/bin64/k1om/sep_micboot_install.sh

If it failed, check MPSS status

Good luck!

You also need to check if app can run on MIC, without VTune.

As you can see, using "ssh mic1" works. I'm sure it run on MIC, as I saw it running with 240 threads using Micsmc command on MIC.

#amplxe-cl -collect hotspots  -- ssh mic1 ' cd /home/wang/ &&  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/wang/lib  && ./blackscholes   240 '

 

Without Vtune,

#ssh mic1

#./blackscholes 240 input/in_10M.txt ouput

app can run on MIC.

#ssh mic1 lsmod | grep sep;  displays nothing. The vtune driver seems didn't installed on MIC.

 

It seems that using "amplxe-cl" with "ssh mic1" can get a result. Do I have to install vtune driver on MIC or not?

You won't get any data collection from code running in MIC without engaging the VTune driver there.  Profiling what happens on host during a MIC native run isn't interesting.

With current VTune, you should be able to collect using both the MIC and the host sep drivers in the same run (although it didn't work for me, on my hardware which may no longer be supported).

Thanks.

I realised how foolish I am. What I got is something that happened on host.
