Some informations to my system: Windows 7 Ultimate, Visual Studio 9.0, Microsoft .Net Framework V. 3.5 SP1.

One additional question: We use OMP  in our application. Do I have to use the Intel C++ compiler or can I use the Microsoft compiler for Parallel Inspector?

Thanks for any help.

I use a 3rd party application(large program) to invoke my library. Is there a way to tell PS to bypass the checking of the 3rd party application and report only issues associated with my library? TIA.

I've upgraded my Parallel Studio setup, which was Composer 2 Update 2, Amplifier Update 2 and Inspector Update 2, to Studio SP1. However, after installing it, both Amplifier and Inspector disappeared from Visual Studio 2008. They're not listed under "About" either. Only Composer Update 3 is available.

I've tried repairing the installation with no success. The installer says everything is installed, but it does not seem to be the case.

I'm seeing very inaccurate results produced by Parallel Amplifier on a large program. For golden results, I'm using VTune in sampling mode for CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.CORE counter. I also did some double-checking using internal timers inside the program to make sure VTune numbers are in the right ballpark.

SETUP
The program runs about 30 minutes on its own and under the Amplifier. It is a 64-bit executable that consists of over 200 DLLs. It is compiled from a few million lines of code. Early parts of the program exercise one set of DLLs, middle exercise another, and the end exercises another set of DLLs. The hardware is QuadCore Xeon with 8 GB of RAM. The peak virtual memory (include all the code, not just data) is just under 5 GB.

EXPERIMENT 1
With default Amplifier settings, I got completely inaccurate data. The top two DLLs marked by the Amplifier actually take less than 2% of the program's time. The size of the Amplifier data dir was 19 GB.

EXPERIMENT 2
When I increased maximum size of raw collector data to 1000 MB (from the default of 10 MB), the results came closer. The top DLL was said to take 23% and in VTune it takes 19%. So close enough. However, another DLL where almost 25% of time is spent (again, according to VTune) did not even show up on the Amplifier's list. The size of the Amplifier dir went up to 20 GB.

EXPERIMENT 3
Next thing I did was to check off "Enable accurate CPU Time detection" and kept 1000 MB raw data limit. The numbers became better and more DLLs showed up. However, the top DLL consumer according to VTune, got only 2.5% in Amplifier.  The Amplifier dir size was now 49 GB.

I should mention that VTune's data dir for sampling of two counters (without calibration) is 241 MB.

QUESTIONS
1. Having maximum limit set too low seems to cut off data collection. How do we know when this happens? I couldn't find any indicators that this limit was reached?

2. Is there anything else I can do to improve the accuracy of the Amplifier?

Today I wanted to profile the application, but Intel Parallel Studio crashed when loading the information from the binary. Trying to open the results file always made IPS crash. I also tried to check for memory correctness, but IPS also crashed when loading the results. It used to work before the latest updates when I also used Microsoft's compiler. I switched back to the previous version of IPS: crash. Finally, I switched back to Microsoft's compiler and now it works as expected.

The crash occurs in msdia90.dll, which is a DLL used to query information from PDB files. The DLL is installed along with IPS. I tried by updating the DLL, but IPS would still crash.

I don't really know whether or not the problem is on Intel's (Intel C++ Compiler) or Microsoft's (msdia90.dll) side, and what could be done about it.

I have sent a bug report already as suggested by the crash report window.

Is it at least a known issue?

Just in case, the only C++0x feature I used was 'auto' types for some iterators, and the projet type is a DLL. ]]> http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-parallel-studio/topic/69151/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:36:18 -0800 http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-parallel-studio/topic/69151/ Intel® Parallel Amplifier Knowledge Base Intel® Parallel Composer Knowledge Base Intel® Parallel Inspector Knowledge Base
