Hi list,

we have a big SGI Altix system and I just installed libpfm and pfmon 3.2
 by just typing make and make install for both packages. pfmon -l works
and does what it has been designed for. Then I wanted to do a run with a
tool called profile.pl (by SGI) that uses pfmon internally. The command
line used is:

pfmon --system-wide --smpl-outfile=/tmp/sample.out.31070
--smpl-entries=100000 -u -k --short-smpl-periods=15940000
--smpl-module=compact-ia64 --events=CPU_CYCLES --relative --cpu-list=0
dplace -c0 ./sequential

This does not work because there is no module 'compact-ia64', only
'compact' is compiled in:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/omp_sched> pfmon -I
detected host CPUs:  384-way 1594MHz/9.0MB Dual-Core Itanium 2
(Montecito, rev 5)
detected PMU model: dual-core Itanium 2
max counters/set: 12

[generic IA-64]
supported sampling modules: [inst-hist] [detailed] [compact] [dear-hist]
[detailed] [inst-hist] [dear-hist] [compact] [raw]
pfmlib version: 3.2

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/omp_sched> pfmon -S compact
name        : compact
description : Column-style raw values (perfmon v2.0)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/omp_sched> uname -a
Linux mars 2.6.16.27-0.6-default #1 SMP Wed Dec 13 09:34:50 UTC 2006
ia64 ia64 ia64 GNU/Linux


So I tried:

pfmon --system-wide --smpl-outfile=/tmp/sample.out.31070
--smpl-entries=100000 -u -k --short-smpl-periods=15940000
--smpl-module=compact --events=CPU_CYCLES --relative --cpu-list=0 dplace
-c0 ./sequential

But again I get:
invalid sampling output format compact
allthough this module is compiled in as pfmon -I claims.


Any suggestion is appreciated.

Regards, Michael
