offload error: cannot offload to MIC - device is not available

[ye_f_1]

I am a newer in MIC.

I install and config Phi follow this link "arrayfire.com/getting-started-with-the-intel-xeon-phi-on-ubuntu-14-04linux-kernel-3-13-0/".It seems that everything is OK.But when I run program,I get this information "offload error: cannot offload to MIC - device is not available".I source compilervars.sh intel64 before running program.My compiler version is "Intel(R) C Intel(R) 64 Compiler for applications running on Intel(R) 64, Version 16.0.1.150 Build 20151021".

I input "micctrl -s",then I get follow output:   

mic0: online (mode: linux image: /usr/share/mpss/boot/bzImage-knightscorner).

then I ssh mic0,when I input password.I get follow information:

Tunnel device open failed.
Could not request tunnel forwarding.

after that,I check if coi_daemo has started on coprocessor and input "ps -aux | grep coi_daemon",It seems that coi_daemo is already running:

micuser    4827  0.0  0.0  97912  1580 ?        Sl   10:13   0:00 /usr/bin/coi_daemon --coiuser=micuser

This is my source program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include "offload.h"

int
main()
{
        float pi=0.0;
        int count=10000;
        int i;

        #pragma offload target(mic)
        for(i=0;i<count;i++)
        {
                float t=(float)((i+0.5)/count);
                pi+=4.0/(1.0+t*t);
        }
        pi/=count;
        if(fabs(pi-3.14)<=0.01)
                printf("pass pi=%f\n",pi);
        else
                printf("fail\n");
        return 0;
}

what should I do ?

I input "sudo miccheck" and get follow information:

On the host side you need to run the mpss daemon in order to "talk" to the Mic card. I don't know if that is explained in the arrayfire.com HOWTO, but this deamon (mpssd) is essential for all Mic operations. Your mic_exception error is also most likely caused by this.
