[AntonioZC666]

Hello, I'm trying to test with VAPRO. After I built all the dependencies and VAPRO, I'd like to use it to do some testing with NAS Parallel Benchmarks. However, when I run the command, there are some problems and I don't know how solve it.

The command and errors are displayed as follows:

papi 7.1.0
OpenMPI 4.1.6

Thanks for your help.

Hi, this is related to several reasons:

1. No permission to collect: enable collecting in kernel settings or run the tool with sudo.
2. The current PMU metrics and the jevent library do not work on your setup. PMU collection is dependent on both the CPU arch and the OS kernel. Check pmu-tools for more information. You can try to
   1. collect only one metric to see if it works
   2. check the error code of underlying syscalls

   2. check the error code of underlying syscalls

I've tried a lot but it doesn't work.

1. I tried to run the tool with sudo. NPB can work successfully but VAPRO didn't generate anything.

$ LIBPFM_FORCE_PMU=amd64 LD_PRELOAD=/xxxx/xxxx/project/VAPRO/build/libpapicnt.so sudo mpirun --allow-run-as-root -np 8 ./bin/is.B.x

2. I've tried to collect only one metric like cpu/instructions/ or cycles (I modified in perf_jevent.cpp and pmc_jevent.cpp. If it's false please tell me). However it still did not work and still the same error message.

My CPU is 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13600K. I checked pmu-tools and it seems to support my CPU.

I don't know if there's a problem with my PAPI installation. When I ran the command papi_avail, 0 are available.

No events detected!  Check papi_component_avail to find out why.

Then I ran the command papi_component_avail and the result is like this:

I don't know whether the PAPI installation will affect the use of VAPRO. If you know more, please tell me.

Thank you very much.

This is because there is no event named cpu/instructions/ or cycles on your device.

You can get the list of events available by run pmu-tools/event_download

For example, you can run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools.git
cd pmu-tools
./event_download

Then, the list of events will be download in ~/.cache/pmu-events/ like:

Notes: INST_RETIRED.ANY is counted by a designated fixed counter freeing up programmable counters to count other events. INST_RETIRED.ANY_P is counted by a programmable counter.",
