Re: [PerfSuite-users] psrun profile doesn't show any sampling point

[Rick K. <rk...@il...>]

Cheng,

There are two issues that I can think of that you might be 
experiencing.  The first is simply that the program may not run long 
enough to generate profiling samples.  However, I am also wondering if 
(based on the processor brand string listed in the output) if you are 
working with an Intel Nehalem CPU.  If so, there are known problems with 
the most recent release of PerfSuite on that processor.  We have 
finished adding the support for that system, but have not yet placed a 
new software release on SourceForge or at NCSA.  We hope to do so in the 
very near future, though.

Sorry for the difficulties, please let me know if you also suspect this 
may be what is affecting you.
