Hi All,

Running code in CRAY XC 40 machine.

When I'm doing memory access getting error at run time

amplxe: Error: This analysis type requires either an access to system-wide monitoring in the Linux perf subsystem or installation of the VTune Amplifier drivers (see the "Sampling Drivers" help topic for further details). Please set the /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid value to 0 or less to continue without installing the drivers.

If I change the value in the /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid to 0 or less it will effect performance of others who are running jobs in the nodes?

When I'm doing hotsopts analysis it is not giving any error.

Please give me suggestions

Dear Intel VTune Support Team,

I am learning to use vtune_profiler_2020.0.0.605129 on Arch Linux (kernel 5.3.13) and the CPU based analyses work on my machine.

But I have not managed to run per-program GPU analyses. (System wide GPU profiling seems to work)

E.g. when issuing the following command to profile the program glxspheres64

TPSS_DEBUG=1 /opt/intel/vtune_profiler_2020.0.0.605129/bin64/vtune -collect graphics-rendering -app-working-dir /usr/bin -- /usr/bin/env MESA_GLSL_CACHE_DISABLE=true /usr/bin/glxspheres64

I get the following output:

log4cplus:ERROR Unable to open file: ./tpss-2020.03.14-10h16m40s.405792.log
vtune: Warning: The option to analyze all processes running on the system is enabled for this analysis type by default.

I get similar tpss_deepbind_notify_on_pthread_loaded assertions for other rendering applications.

I am using the Mesa graphics driver:

OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (Kabylake GT2) 

Do you have any advice how to resolve this issue?

I have attached the resulting analysis file for you.
The same error results without TPSS_DEBUG=1 and without MESA_GLSL_CACHE_DISABLE=true.

Christian

VTune is crashing on my Mac OS Mojave laptop. I ran the experiment on a different node, and copied the profiles over to my laptop. It does not crash right away, and I see the profiles are processed in the tabs, however, while switching around tabs, VTune crashes with the attached report. 

I am running a workload on MySQL and collecting memory access data on Oracle Linux 7.7 my kernel version is 4.14.35.1902. I start the VTune 2020 collection by loading the sep driver and after 50 secs i.e at end of the run I am receiving these messages :

Message from syslogd.. 

kernel:Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 20 on CPU 84. 

 Message from syslogd.. 

kernel:Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled? 

 Message from syslogd 

kernel:Dazed and confused, but trying to continue 

I also tried driverless collection ..it generates the .perf files it goes through fine without any messages. So I moved back to VTune 2019 and when I do the data collection with sep driver I do not see any messages generated by  kernel. 

Let me know if I am missing anything in my setup . I don't see these messages affecting my performance but not sure if this is expected !

Thank You

We followed the steps for running VTune as given in the following link on Ubuntu 16.04 :
https://software.intel.com/en-us/get-started-with-vtune-linux-os

We are able to get results for human_pose_estimation_3d but we are getting error while running human_pose_estimation_demo (2D). The screenshot is attached.

For human_pose_estimation_3D,
In vtune gui, for Application field we have given /home/amit/human_pose_estimation_3d_demo/human_pose_estimation_3d_demo.py
In Application parameter field,
-m /path/to/Human_pose_python/human-pose-estimation-3d-0001.xml  -i /path/to/TestVideo.mp4 -d CPU

For human_pose_estimation_demo (2D),
Application: 
/home/amit/omz_demos_build/intel64/Release/human_pose_estimation_demo

Application parameters:

After running human_pose_estimation_demo (2D) , we are getting error as shown in screenshot attached.

Specifications:

vTune version : Intel(R) VTune(TM) Profiler 2020 (build 605129)

GCC version : 5.4.0

Do you have ANY plans to support AMD CPUs with hardware profiling? 

If not, I'll be evaluating other tools like ARM Forge.

Hi

I'm trying to use and install VTune on two of my Debian servers, and it worked perfectly for one but fails for the others.
The driver install fails  when trying to compile the drivers with the following message:

"************ Building socperf3.ko driver ************

ERROR: Linux kernels prior to 2.6.x are unsupported ... exiting.

ERROR: Failed to build socperf3.ko driver"

Complete log in attachement.

I'm running Debian 10. "uname -r" returns "5.4.0-0.bpo.2-amd64".
It seems to me the error is probably just the script failing to find something in the local sources.

I've run "apt-get install linux-headers-5.4.0-0.bpo.2-amd64" and it's normally installed.

Any idea what more steps can I take?

Thanks!

Hello, 

When I try to launch my binary with vtune for hotspots analysis, it successfully "collects data" but does not actually launch the application. The summary shows zero calls and zero threads launched. 

I followed all the instructions to set up vtune from here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/vtune-install-guide-linux (I am on Ubuntu 16.04)

I know that my application runs from the terminal. When I pass the exact same application into the "Application" field and the same parameters into the "Application parameters" field. I encounter no errors; the application simply does not run. Nothing appears in the terminal from which I launched vtune-gui.

Any ideas on how to fix this? 

Hi,

I was trying to build the kernel driver on Fedora 31 (I know it's not officially supported yet but I was going try my luck...) with vtune 2020.0.0.605129 and I received an error about invalid characters in mnemonics in the sepdk/src/sys64.S file. Upon closer inspection, it appears to be macros that have not been substituted. I don't know where to dig after that because they are defined in linux/linkage.h and I don't see why it's not being substituted... They're marked deprecated but they're still there.

Hi,

I previously posted about this same problem on Fedora 31, an unsupported OS. I tried today on Fedora 30 (a supported OS) and ran into the exact same problem.

Here's the previous post with full details:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/vtune/topic/850745

Hi All,

I have a Kubernetes environment. I want to use Intel® VTune™ Profiler to determine bottlenecks, inefficient code, long execution times, etc or any other useful info about the containers( containers have python applications in it) . 

I need some documentation or wiki on how to get started with setting up Intel® VTune™ in a Kubernetes environment (it can be standalone or container-based installation of VTune) and how to run it

Thanks

Hi, I would like have a python analysis for Python files executed from the C python API, like in this sample code adapted from https://docs.python.org/3/extending/embedding.html :

#define PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN
#include <Python.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	printf("before\n");
	wchar_t *program = Py_DecodeLocale(argv[0], NULL);
	if (program == NULL) {
		fprintf(stderr, "Fatal error: cannot decode argv[0]\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	Py_SetProgramName(program); 
	Py_Initialize();
	auto* f = fopen("f.py", "rb");
	auto r = PyRun_SimpleFile(f, "f.py");
	if (Py_FinalizeEx() < 0) {
		exit(120);
	}
	PyMem_RawFree(program);
	return 0;
}

When I use Hostspots analysis with user mode sampling and managed mode set to any of (auto, native, mixed), I only get the C/C++ functions.

It is possible to have the python file/stack analysis, and how ? Thank you

Hi,

To facilitate usage of vtune among a couple of people, I have changed the group ownership of vtune drivers (/dev/{pax,socperf,sep5}) from vtune to some other group (mygroup). This was done via : insmod-sep -g mygroup when loading the driver

On RHEL 7.6 dev host, I'm having issue where if this `mygroup` is not the primary group of the user, then vtune-gui and vtune is unable to run properly and query the HW sampling drivers. 

This does not seem to be an issue on RHEL 6.x. 

straces seem inconclusive yet why vtune driver being group permissioned (perm 660 and ownership of root:mygroup) and user having group membership (primary_group, mygroup) does't work. 

If I make the /dev/{pax,socperf,sep5} be root:primary_group, then it works.But making it root:mygroup fails on RHEL 7.x only

Any reason why? Something to do with sssd settings? Why is vtune not able to work with such a scenario? Any help please?

Thanks,

Hi,

When profiling my code with VTune, I often need to find out when a given function gets executed (start elapsed time -> end elapsed time). To do so, I usually do the following:

1. I go to the top-down tree view.
2. I select a range in the elapsed time graph at the bottom, and "Filter In by Selection"
3. I observe the new tree view, and check if the CPU time for that function is close to 100%. If it is not, I need to move my range around -> go back to step 2 and iterate.

This is a rather tedious process. In the top-down tree, there is an option "Filter In by Selection", which almost does what I want. It shows the function in the elapsed time graph, but it does not show its callees.

Basically, what I am looking for is an option in the top-down tree that would be "Filter In by Selection (Recursive)". Is there anything like that in VTune?

Thank you for your help,

Joachim

Hi,
i have installed vtune 2020 on RHEL 7.6  , and while checking for sep driver load status i get following error -

I also have intel 2019 u5 , and it the same command (insmod-sep) worked fine on this system.

Please let me know if more information is required from my end to fix this.

Hi,
I am trying vtune 2020u0 on rhel 7.6 in intel 8280.
For testing the setup i used APS, and it ran fine and generated the results without any issue.

Then i tried out the hpc-performance analysis on using amplxe-cl command as - 

time mpirun -np $SLURM_NPROCS -ppn $SLURM_NTASKS_PER_NODE amplxe-cl -collect hpc-performance -data-limit 0 -result-dir result_hpcperf -- ${INSTALL_ROOT}/wrf.exe

 the run has finished , but is seems that the data gathering command has experienced some issue - 

WRF: SUCCESS COMPLETE wrf
vcs/collectunits1/tmu/src/tmu.c:437 write_trace: Assertion 'Cannot write magic record to trace' failed.

around 11 hours have elapsed and i still see amplxe-cl process running (top command)

and i can see a 17mb directory was also created (result_hpcperf.node1).
I am not sure if i will face issues with other collection/analysis types
Though i tried out the amplxe self checker script, and log seems to indicate that the setup is fine.

Please let me know if i can provide more information from my end to fix this issue. 

Objective : To profile remote running process using Hardware Event Based Sampling Hotspot analysis type inside a docker with windows image (windowsserver:ltsc2019) from Windows Host.

Version of vtune tool used : Vtune 2020 update1

Version of Docker Engine :  19.03.8 (Docker Desktop)

Host OS : Version 1909 Windows Pro

I have done the following successfully : 

1) Passwordless SSH connection to the remote system (docker) using empty password config (not through key based)

2) Installed VTune standalone profiler with command line support in the remote target system. This includes the installation of the driver also.

Problem : I get the following error 

C:\Users\hariv\.ssh>vtune --target-system=ssh:User03@localhost[:2222] -collect hotspots -knob collection-type:hw-events -- /matrix/matrix.exe
vtune: Using target: ssh:User03@localhost[:2222]
vtune: Error: Please, check that the command '/tmp/vtune_profiler_2020.1.0.607630/bin32/amplxe-runss -V' is run successfully on the target.
vtune: Error: VTune cannot detect remote machine configuration.
vtune: Error: Please, check that the command '/tmp/vtune_profiler_2020.1.0.607630/bin32/amplxe-runss -V' is run successfully on the target.
vtune: Error: VTune cannot detect remote machine configuration.

The amplxe-runss works fine when i try to run in the target system but it is present in a different directory inside /bin64

Attached files : 1) Included the screenshot of the error

2) Dockerfile used to build the windows image which includes SSH configuration and VTune installation.

3) The script to install the SSH in the remote target system

I am unable to change the default directory even by using the flag -target-install-dir . I am unable to find a solution after this to make my remote profiling work here. Any sort of Help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

Is there a known problem with Mac downloads at the moment?  I've been trying the download the Mac interface for Vtune and all of the versions I've tried lead to a 404 page rather than a download.  I was able to download the Linux version successfully.

Thanks
