Warning when sourcing the pcsevars.sh file

[Paul_I_1]

I get a warning when I source the file ...source /opt/intel/16.0/parallel_studio_xe_2016.0.047/psxevars.sh intel64

mpsvars.sh: Warning: Hardware events collection is disabled by default. To enable it, run mpsvars.sh with --vtune (recommended) or --papi option.

Why is this a warning?

This is related to the MPI Performance Snapshot tool.  The warning is to alert users that by default, there is no hardware event collection enabled in MPS, and you must explicitly enable it.

I'm going to move this to the correct forum.

The right way to do this is something like

/opt/intel/16.0/parallel_studio_xe_2016.0.047/psxevars.sh intel64 mps_hardware_events={yes|no}

Running the mpsvars.sh twice is not ideal.

I've put in a feature request to pass MPS options through to mpsvars.sh.

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I receive the following warning when I start the terminal:

mpsvars.sh: Warning: Hardware events collection is disabled by default. To enable it, run mpsvars.sh with --vtune (recommended) or --papi option.

What command should I run to correct this?

Thanks,

Andrew

As the warning message states, using mpsvars.sh --vtune or mpsvars.sh --papi.

The developers will not be implementing this.  In order to pass specific, non-default arguments to mpsvars.sh, you will need to call it directly.
