Re: [JLSE-Intel-NDA] Last version of compiler & Vtune working with memory analysis
by Delalondre Fabien Jonathan 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Thanks All. So I face a couple of issues. Please let me know if this is coming from me or something else: On knl00 (configured, SNC4-Cache) I use: compiler (2017): source /soft/compilers/intel_beta/compilers_and_libraries/linux/bin/compilervars.sh intel64 source /soft/compilers/intel_beta/compilers_and_libraries/linux/mpi/bin64/mpivars.sh vtune (2016 v4): source /soft/compilers/intel/vtune_amplifier_xe_2016.4.0.470476/amplxe-vars.sh When I execute the an MPI+OpenMP application 1) It works (running basic vtune hot spot analysis) amplxe-cl -collect hotspots -- mpirun -n $NODES <EXEC> <ParamEXEC> 2) It used to work in May (with Vtune patched NDA - now it returns an error) amplxe-cl -c memory-access -knob analyze-mem-objects=true -knob sampling-interval=10 -data-limit=0 -d 60 -- mpirun -n $NODES <EXEC> <ParamEXEC> amplxe: Error: Cannot enable Hardware Event-based Sampling: problem with the driver (sep*/sepdrv*). Check that the driver is running and the driver group is in the current user group list. See "Building and Managing the Sampling Driver" help topic for further details. 3) Instructions provided on wiki by Vitali do not work for me due to lack of permission (set to 1 in X file) mpirun -n $NODE_COUNT -env KMP_AFFINITY=balanced,granularity=fine -gtool "/soft/restricted/intel-vtune-nda/vtune_amplifier_xe/bin64/amplxe-cl -collect memory-access -knob sampling-interval=10 -knob analyze-mem-objects=true -data-limit=1500 -mrte-mode=native -result-dir=Result4:0-3" <EXEC> <EXEC_PARAM> Error message: amplxe: Error: Not enough permissions to run uncore events collection. Consider setting the /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid value to 0 or less. Any hint ? Can we change the permissions to run uncore events collection on all KNL? Let me know if I am doing something wrong.

[JLSE-Intel-NDA] misleading traceback running MPI on KNL
by Steven C. Pieper 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

I got the following misleading traceback on KNL10. I was running a two-rank mpi job with both ranks on KNL10. The job consistantly failed with the following in stderr: 13:46:14.989 128.314 Slave 001: obsrv start loop 1 1 1 12 0 0 0 13:46:14.989 128.314 Slave 001: obsrv, psil_p 1 1 1 4096 924 forrtl: error (69): process interrupted (SIGINT) Image PC Routine Line Source libintlc.so.5 00002B92469D6621 Unknown Unknown Unknown libintlc.so.5 00002B92469D4487 Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown 00002B9245BE0F62 Unknown Unknown Unknown libifcoremt.so.5 00002B9245BE0DB6 Unknown Unknown Unknown libifcoremt.so.5 00002B9245B3DA22 Unknown Unknown Unknown libifcoremt.so.5 00002B9245B4FA92 Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown 00002B924395C100 Unknown Unknown Unknown libc.so.6 00002B9246D05B77 Unknown Unknown Unknown libmpi.so.12 00002B9244F2B476 Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown 00002B924514A617 Unknown Unknown Unknown libmpi.so.12 00002B92451F020E Unknown Unknown Unknown libmpifort.so.12 00002B9244B977A8 Unknown Unknown Unknown x.mc.12c-11_state 00000000004381D8 MAIN__ 3338 master.f x.mc.12c-11_state 000000000040425E Unknown Unknown Unknown libc.so.6 00002B9246C4BB15 Unknown Unknown Unknown x.mc.12c-11_state 0000000000404169 Unknown Unknown Unknown The 3338 master.f is an mpi_probe being done on rank 0; it was started about 90 seconds before the failure. call MPI_PROBE( MPI_ANY_SOURCE, MPI_ANY_TAG, app_comm, status, ierr ) The actual cause of the failure is an openmp block being done on rank 1 in a different subroutine. The traceback gives me no hint of that and I had to painfully isolate the problem with print statements. I should have received a traceback for rank 1 instead of or in addition to the rank 0 traceback. BTW: The openmp block works fine on BG/Q. The loop works fine if I remove the !$OMP argound it. It also works fine with smaller dimensions. So this also appears to be another ifort OMP problem, but my complaint here is the traceback. Steve -- Steven C.

Re: [JLSE-Intel-NDA] OpenMP bug in Intel Fortran compiler

Steve, I’m figuring out with Intel the easiest way users can report compiler bugs. -Kumar On Jul 12, 2016, at 1:55 PM, Steven C.

VTune 2016 Update 4 added KNL support, so the NDA'ed add-on bits are no longer needed. The compilers in 2017 and 2016 haven't been updated recently, so they should be the same as when you last worked with them.
