ERROR - [./src/perfmon.c:993] Uncore not supported on Desktop processors! #174

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I am trying to use likwid on my desktop, however it is failing with:

$ sudo likwid-perfctr  -C 0-3 -g MEM ./a.out
-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
CPU type:   Intel Core SandyBridge processor 
CPU clock:  1.99 GHz 
ERROR - [./src/perfmon.c:993] Uncore not supported on Desktop processors!

However the wiki page:
* https://code.google.com/p/likwid/wiki/SandyBridge

mention "Uncore Performance Monitoring support."

If I use rapl, here is what I get

$ wget http://web.eece.maine.edu/~vweaver/projects/rapl/rapl-read.c
$ gcc rapl-read.c -lm && sudo ./a.out

Found Sandybridge CPU

Note: the energy measurements can overflow in 60s or so
      so try to sample the counters more often than that.

What am I doing wrong ?

This is a correct behavior. The Uncore counters are not supported on Intel 
Desktop Processors because the hardware does not support this feature. The 
message prefix should probably be changed from ERROR to  INFO.
