Is it possible o run vtune-gui?

Hi

How can I open vtune-gui through devcloud? I get the following error:

m@optiplex:~$ ssh devcloud -Y
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

I don't know if that is problem with the devcloud or my own host machine. On my machine, libnss3 is installed.

Any idea on how to fix that?

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Intel Communities

For running VTune on the DevCloud, note the following:

1)VTune can’t be used with a GUI. This is by design and not a bug.

2)The Intel DevCloud is a cluster with no windows subsystem – much like any other HPC cluster out there.

You can use VTune Webserver Interface to access the GUI.

For your information the web server interface helps you quickly get started with the tool since you do not need to install VTune Profiler as a desktop application on every client system. You can use the VTune Profiler Server to configure and control analysis on arbitrary target systems and view collected results.

Please refer the below documentation for the detailed steps to use Intel® VTune™ Profiler as a web server in DevCloud:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/vtune-cookbook/top/configuration-recipes/using-vtune-server-with-vs-code-intel-devcloud.html#using-vtune-server-with-vs-code-intel-devcloud_OPTION2

If this resolves your issue, make sure to accept this as a solution. This would help others with similar issue.

Thank you

I followed the steps from the link you mentioned. Everything was fine up to accessing the interface through browser.

1- Running `qsub -I`.

2- SSHing to the compute node from another terminal.

3- Starting the web server and getting the URL.

Now, when I open Firefox and paste the link, I see the "set passphrase" page, but whatever I write and press OK, nothing happens. It doesn't proceed.

OK. The problem was fixed after some retires.

I will close the topic. Thanks for the support.
