• Mike Pearce (Intel) July 8, 2009 9:55 AM PDT    Help: Using Intel Thread Profiler on Linux I believe that thread profiler is a Windows only software as far as I can tell. But where do I find the linux install? From what I understand; I can turn on the -tprofile switch on ICC then I can dump the info and open it in the Windows version of thread profiler. So while I have ICC and VTUNE installed on Linux, I don't know what I have to do to get the thread profiler switch on ICC to work? I get that following response from the compiler: icpc -g -O3 -tprofile -c cmd_lreader.cpp (0): catastrophic error: tp10.ini not found; Intel(R) Threading Tools must be installed compilation aborted for cmd_lreader.cpp (code 4) TimP (Intel) July 8, 2009 10:52 AM PDT Rate   #1 Re: Help: Using Intel Thread Profiler on Linux -tprofile would require that you installed the separately licensed Thread Profiler for linux: https://registrationcenter.intel.com/RegCenter/Download.aspx?productid=771&sn= and set both the thread profiler and icpc environment variables. As you said, linux thread profiler creates files which appear intended to be read in Windows thread profiler.  I haven't been able to find out what may be required to take that step successfully. inkant July 13, 2009 1:31 PM PDT Rate   #2 Reply To #1 Re: Help: Using Intel Thread Profiler on Linux Quoting - tim18 -tprofile would require that you installed the separately licensed Thread Profiler for linux: https://registrationcenter.intel.com/RegCenter/Download.aspx?productid=771&sn= and set both the thread profiler and icpc environment variables.

Hello Tim, Does the link above allow download therad profiler for Linux ? I think it is not working. Inkant.

If you are alluding to the fact that thread profiler for linux is not present on the screen which offers evaluation licenses, that is true, but does not mean there is no such thing.  I would agree also that I could not recommend purchase of this product without evaluating it, and I find the openmp_profile option of the compilers sufficient in practice. I don't know whether anyone has requested an evaluation of the linux version; if you have the Windows version, which appears to be expected, you could submit a request on premier.intel.com to find out what the policy may be.  It's even possible that omission from the evaluation menu is an oversight. inkant July 13, 2009 5:15 PM PDT Rate   #4 Reply To #3 Re: Help: Using Intel Thread Profiler on Linux Quoting - tim18 That URL should present a login screen which you could use if you have registered any Intel software tool application, either evaluation or purchased.  The top level URL will offer to register any such application and open an account for both that site and premier.intel.com support.

Thanks Tim, This is helpful. First that, I was not aware of openmp_profile option, I will try that out. and also request the evaluation version of Linux version for the thread profiler (or enabling the non-commercial download for the same.)

All rights reserved. Usage: tprofile_cl [<options>]  <application exe | launcher script> [<parameters for application>] Select an executable to analyze in one of the following ways. - Specify the executable on the command line - Specify the application launcher (a script or other executable) on the command line and select the executable with the --exe_of_interest (-x) option no summary report is generated..   Please help TimP (Intel) January 21, 2010 11:58 AM PST Rate   #7 Reply To #6 Re: Help: Using Intel Thread Profiler on Linux tprofile_cl creates a threadprofiler directory in the current directory, and writes its data files there.  You need the TP installed in Windows VTune to analyze the data. Mark Dewing (Intel) January 28, 2010 2:51 PM PST Rate   #8 Reply To #6 Re: Help: Using Intel Thread Profiler on Linux The usage message is probably displayed because the 'threadprofiler' result directory was not created.  It appears the executable did not instrument properly. Right after the "Building project" line, it should say 'Instrumenting' followed by some modules names and the instrumentation level.  This only happens the first time, or after the executable has changed.  Use the -c (--clear-cache) to perform the instrumentation again. Could you provide the compile line for how you created threadedtest.gcc? rachit February 3, 2010 10:47 PM PST Rate   #9 Reply To #8 Re: Help: Using Intel Thread Profiler on Linux I got the error as the version of OS i was running it on was FC12 with gcc4.4... i just added libstdc++.so.5 in my /usr/lib and all worked well..thnx
