Status of threads

[Al-jawaheri__Hayder]

Hi,

How do I know the status (busy or idle) of threads or core in MIC?
Is there any register to track thread's status?

Thanks in advance

One way is to use micsmc. This utility, which runs on the host system, has a GUI and can tell you about a number of things including core utilization, memory utilization, temperature and power usage. You can find a man page for this on the host system in /usr/share/man.

Of course, if you like to keep things very simple, you can also ssh into the coprocessor and run top.

You can also use Intel VTune Amplifier XE to profile threads, among other things. You can try Intel VTune Amplifier XE for 30 days-free (https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-vtune-amplifier-xe).
