Intel Advisor Internal Error with survey/roofline analysis

sham1810 · ‎08-23-2023

Hi,

I downloaded the latest Intel advisor and tried collecting roofline data with the following command for a sample matrix multiplication application:

./advixe-cl --collect=rooflilne --enable-cache-simulation --project-dir=/home/intel/sham/advisor-proj-dir -- /home/intel/sham/apps/ScimarkStable/scimark2_64static

The survey analysis never ends and keeps going, cannot stop with Ctrl-C, have to kill the process (sample application) in order to stop it.

After stopping, if i try to open the project in GUI, there is no data.

Console output:

intel@intel:/opt/intel/oneapi/advisor/2023.2.0/bin64$ ./advixe-cl --collect=roofline --enable-cache-simulation --project-dir=/home/intel/sham/advisor-proj-dir/ -- /home/intel/sham/apps/ScimarkStable/scimark2_64static

Other types of collection "map, tripcounts" do not seem to have this problem.

I tried this command and it seems to work fine

./advixe-cl --collect=map --enable-cache-simulation --project-dir=/home/intel/sham/advisor-proj-dir/ -- /home/intel/sham/apps/ScimarkStable/scimark2_64static

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

Please share the processor details and Linux distribution you are using (Ubuntu, Centos, RHEL, Fedora.. etc.), and also please share the exact steps to build scimark2_64static binary.

An alternate way to run a roofline analysis, try running a survey and trip count analysis first (via CLI), and also please share the output for each analysis. Please follow the below steps.

To run survey analysis run the below command:

advixe-cl -collect survey -project-dir MyResults --enable-cache-simulation -- ./scimark2

To run Tripcount run the below command:

advixe-cl -collect tripcounts --enable-cache-simulation -flop -project-dir MyResults -- ./scimark2

Now we can run roofline analysis with the below command:

advixe-cl -collect roofline --enable-cache-simulation -project-dir MyResults -- ./scimark2

If this resolves your issue, make sure to accept this as a solution. This would help others with similar issues.

Thanks,

Jaideep

Hello,

As I've said, I tried collecting both (survey and tripcounts) and I am having trouble with survey analysis. Survey analysis never ends, keeps going on forever. Please refer to my above post.

Can you help me diagnose the problem here?

Thanks

Shreyank

Hi,

From the above log, when you run the roofline analysis survey and tripcount analysis are going to run. I want to know if, when you run only survey analysis, you are facing the same issue or not.

If scimark2_64static and scimark binaries are the same, then we are able to run the roofline analysis without any issue

Please share the processor details and Linux distribution you are using (Ubuntu, Centos, RHEL, Fedora.. etc.), and also please share the exact steps to build scimark2_64static binary.

Thanks,

Jaideep

I have attached the scimark folder

There is a makefile in the main folder

Use:

make scimark2_64static

to build the executable

./scimark2_64_static

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your machine/processor details, we were able to reproduce your issue on Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8260M CPU @ 2.40GHz(Cascade Lake) and we are working on this internally and get back to you with an update.

we found that the collection was getting hanged/stuck and we manually killed the process with process ID.

Observations:

With the above sample we were able to run roofline analysis on Alderlake (Core processor) without any issues.

Thanks,

Jaideep

Hi,

"With the above sample we were able to run roofline analysis on Alderlake (Core processor) without any issues."

- Okay but I don't have an Alderlake system available. Is there an older version of Intel Advisor that works for the above scenario that I can use with my system while you debug this issue?

Thanks

Shreyank

JaideepK_Intel · ‎09-06-2023

Hi,

In the meantime, can you please try to build Scimark2 with the below binary? It is working for us without any issues.

Hi,

We are looking into your issue, In the meantime have you tried to build the Scimark2 binary from the above link that we shared?

Thanks,

Was this issue ever solved? I realize this is quite some time later, but I am running into the same error messages.

Ruslan_M_Intel · ‎11-27-2024

Hi Andrew,

Could you please tell more about your setup? Which HW, OS, Compiler version? Also, it would be nice to have application/benchmark build and run commands.

Best regards,

Ruslan Murtazin
