snipersim make error

[meet...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I am new to using snipersim. I have followed the instructions on the Getting started page. 

1. Cloned sniper git

2. Downloaded pin kit for linux version 61206 and extracted into a new sniper/pin_kit/ folder

3. Did sniper make distclean && make -> Make is successful (This is for target intel64, i didnt change the target_arch)

4. But when I am trying to make and run the test fft benchmark, I get the following error :- 

cc -mno-sse4 -mno-sse4.1 -mno-sse4.2 -mno-sse4a -mno-avx -I/home/rp/sniper/sniper/include   intel64 -c -o fft.o fft.c

cc: error: intel64: No such file or directory

make: *** [fft.o] Error 1

I am using gcc v 4.6.3 and my os is Ubuntu 12.04.3. What might be causing this error? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Reena

Okay, that error was because I was not setting the SNIPER_ROOT variable. So, I am able to get past that error. Now I am running into another fail as follows :- 

sniper/test/fft$ make run

cc -mno-sse4 -mno-sse4.1 -mno-sse4.2 -mno-sse4a -mno-avx -I/home/rp/sniper/include    -c -o fft.o fft.c

Hey there,

Have you noticed this line?:

addr2line: 'home/rp/sniper/sniper/lib/pin_sim': No such file

I don't know if that's exactly your problem, but it may help you.

Sergio.

Hi Sergio,

Thanks for your reply. 

Actually there is this another issue also "A:Source/pin/pin/image.cpp:RTN_Name:RTN_Name:1699: assertion failed: RTN_Valid(x)"

This is coming from pin. But I am running the default fft test, no modifications. So, I am not sure why I am running into this assertion fail. Any ideas on this?

Also, I checked in the sniper/lib/ directory and there is a file called "pin_sim.so". Which files generate the STACK trace? I checked the tools/addr2line.py script, it seems that it should point to the pin_sim.so file. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Reena

Well, I've just started with this simulator and I'm afraid I can't help you with this. But I have tested the fft test sample and it works for me :S.

I followed these easy steps:

http://snipersim.org/w/Getting_Started

Anyway, I read somewhere that the GRAPHITE_ROOT environment variable must be set to the Sniper folder (but I think this is only for the benchmark suite).

Also, if I change the test/fft/Makefile's run command (removed the --viz and --viz-aso options), the test passes and sim.out etc files get generated. 

What do these options --viz n viz-aso correspond to and how can they be related to the pin RTN assertion fail?

Thanks,

Reena

[Sergio Rivas]

Those parameters are defined to generate visualizations of the software running within the simulator (check page 17, section 7.4 of the Sniper manual). I guess some kind of incompatibility with the 3D generator could be the problem, have you tried to generate these files after the simulation?

Read the cited page of the manual, it may help you find where is the issue.

Sergio.

Thanks for your help Sergio!

The problem is actually caused by the --viz-aso run argument. If I just use --viz, the test run finishes and a viz/ folder is also created. But it fails if I use --viz --viz-aso. What is the use of the --viz-aso argument (I read on the main web page that its support was added from sniper 5.1 onwards). I have python 2.7.3. Do I need to do any additional linking/set path to use --viz-aso?

Any help is appreciated.

[Sergio Rivas]

Oh, that's something I don't really know, sorry :(. Let's wait for the official support team, they may give you a better support.

Sergio.

[Wim Heirman]

Hi Reena,

The --viz-aso switch is for an experimental feature called "Suggestions for Optimization", it analyzes the application on a per-function basis and then suggests improvements to speed up your program. But it looks like it needs some more testing ;-)

You can safely leave this switch off. I've also been able to reproduce the error you're seeing so we'll make sure to fix this in the next release of Sniper.

Regards,

Wim

Hi,

if you still having trouble with installation - try this (attached).

Hi Yinnon,

I am writing to ask for your help to fix the error while making Sniper.

I firstly failed to install the Sniper according to the guider on the website and tried to install it again according to the steps of the attached file.

But, I failed to make it as well.

After I make it, I got the following error logs as below.

=============

In file included from /usr/include/c++/4.8/random:50:0,

                 from /usr/include/c++/4.8/bits/stl_algo.h:65,

                 from /usr/include/c++/4.8/algorithm:62,

                 from /usr/include/boost/optional/optional.hpp:19,

                 from /usr/include/boost/optional.hpp:15,

                 from /usr/include/boost/spirit/home/classic/core/match.hpp:15,

                 from /usr/include/boost/spirit/home/classic/core.hpp:28,

                 from /usr/include/boost/spirit/include/classic_core.hpp:11,

                 from /home/songwen/Sniper/common/config/config_file_grammar.hpp:16,

                 from /home/songwen/Sniper/common/config/config_file.hpp:25,

                 from /home/songwen/Sniper/common/user/sync_api.cc:7:

/usr/include/c++/4.8/bits/random.h:106:26: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘__int128’

       { typedef unsigned __int128 type; };

                          ^

make[1]: *** [/home/songwen/Sniper/common/user/sync_api.o] Error 1

make: *** [/home/songwen/Sniper/lib/libcarbon_sim.a] Error 2

================

In my opinion, it seems that there is no grammar error for the definition of __int128.

I have install all the dependence files according to the attached file.

What' s the problem? 

BTW: Happy New Year!

B.R.

Hi,

I have followed the exact steps you have mentioned in your post, and also set the SNIPER_ROOT variable to
echo $SNIPER_ROOT
/home/ierumshanaya/sniper-5.3

But still i am getting the error:

ierumshanaya@ubuntu:~/sniper-5.3/test/fft$ make run
cc -mno-sse4 -mno-sse4.1 -mno-sse4.2 -mno-sse4a -mno-avx -I/home/ierumshanaya/sniper-5.3/include   intel64 -c -o fft.o fft.c

cc: error: intel64: No such file or directory
make: *** [fft.o] Error 1

steps followed:

1. Cloned sniper git

2. Downloaded pin kit for linux version 61206 and extracted into a new sniper/pin_kit/ folder

3. Did sniper make distclean && make -> Make is successful (This is for target intel64, i didnt change the target_arch)

Ubuntu version is 12.04.2

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ierum
