I followed the user guide and tried the jacobi iteration example.
However, when I tried pgcollect ./a.out,
it indiate :
pgcollect-Error-Required tool pgsampt was not found
pgcollect… looked for pgsampt at /opt/pgi/linux86-64/15.7/bin/pgsampt
pgcollect-Error-Required tool pgevtofq was not found
pgcollect… looked for pgevtofq at /opt/pgi/linux86-64/15.7/bin/pgevtofq
Ok, this explains it. The NVIDIA OpenACC Toolkit (OTK) shouldn’t include the PGI profiler. Users are instead encouraged to use the included NVIDIA nvprof profiler.
It looks like pgcollect and pgprof were accident left in the package. I’ll pass this on to the folks who put together the OTK package and see if we can remove them in the next release.
