I try to use VTune™ Amplifier XE 2011 to test the performance hardware issues of my C code project.
But when I built a new amplifier project and attended to start a new Analysis for hardware Issues on type of "Advanced Intel(R) Microarchitecture Code Name Nehalem Analysis", it told me the processor should be based on the Intel(R) microarchitecture code name Nehalem and I couldn't continue.
So I seek for help to find the type of my micro architecture, and I also wish to find a available way to test the hardware issue, such as cache miss rate and miss-prediction rate, through VTune™ Amplifier XE 2011 , thank you very much!
I find some infomation about my server:
My server's OS is linux,
type 'cat /proc/version' --> it shows "Linux version 2.6.32-71.el6.i686"
type 'cat /etc/issue' --> Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.0(Santiago)
type 'uname -n' --> intel2 # (node name)
type 'uname -s' --> 2.6.32-71.el6.i686 # (kernel-release)
type 'uname -m' --> i686 # (machine)
type 'uname -p' --> i686 # (processor)
type 'uname -i' --> i386 # (hardware-platform)
