Intel MPI TraceAnalyzer for Opterons

Hi folks,

is it possible to use the Intel MPI TraceAnalyzer/Trace Collector
on an Opteron based system, too?

If I start a MPI program which is linked with the analyzer's libraries
I received the following error message:

Intel Trace Collector ERROR: Unsupported Architecture
Intel Trace Collector ERROR: Unsupported Architecture
Intel Trace Collector ERROR: Unsupported Architecture


Thanks & Bye,
Christian

Hi,

the Intel Trace Analyzer & Collector 6.0 (http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/cluster/tanalyzer/index.htm) only runs on Intel platforms due to the evaluation of specific hardware counters of the trace collector library. This should not be mixed up with the Intel MPI Library (http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/cluster/mpi/index.htm) which is running also on AMD platforms. So buildingyour MPIapplication together with the Intel compiler and Intel MPI library is possible also on AMD platforms. The performance analysis of it with tools like Intel Vtune Performance Analyzer or Intel Trace Analyzer & Collector only works on Intel platforms.

Hope this helps.
