Parallel Amplifier can't load data

[asra7]

Hi I'm new to Parallel Studio and interested in finding hotspots in my apps. I followed the tutorial directions in setting up VS for Parallel studio and ran the profiler for my app. However once I killed my app, I got the following output:

Analysis completed successfully
The result file 'r00hs.ampl' was added to My Amplifier Results project folder

An error occurred during result finalization
The result you are opening does not contain data. An error could have occurred during data collection.

Can you advise me what to do?
Regards,
Asra

Also the output window said:
Warning: Cannot load data file `\My Amplifier Results\r000hs\data.0\6408-6796.0.trace' (Data file is corrupted)
The 6408-6796.0.trace file was present at that location but had a file size of 0.

asra7,

Can you see if the following changes the behavior?

1.) Can you run the analysis to full conclusion assuming your application does not run for so long.
2.) Do other analysis types work?
3.) Does Amplifier work when running the same analysis type on the Tachyon sample that comes with the product?
4.) Is there an opportunity to evaluate the XE version of the tool. In this case Intel VTune Amplifier XE? There is additional control and granularity.

This information will provide additional scope to the issue and direction for next steps.

Thanks
Rob

I built my app in Debug mode and it works now. So I can't have it running for Release mode?
