With Intel Advisor, I ran the following on Linux in the cloud and downloaded the result folders to my local WIndows machine:
advixe-cl --collect=survey ./My_Program.exe
advixe-cl --collect=map ./My_Program .exe
advixe-cl --collect=dependencies ./My_Program .exe
Then I opened my Windows GUI for Advisor. I clicked the "Open Result" icon and opened the advixeproj file. It correctly shows sub-folders for survey, map and dependencies. When I open any of them, all I see in each of the window panes is:
No Data
To collect data about your application's performance, compile your application in Release Build settings and run Survey analysis.
My application is a C program (My_Program.exe) that calls a shared object written in assembly language (NASM). I assume Advisor can work with assembly language programs and shared objects because VTune does, so I don't think that's the problem.
Next to the Application field I click "Browse" and browse to the My_Program.exe, but Advisor says the file "is not an executable binary." Maybe that's because this is Windows and the binary is for Linux.
My question is: how do I view results from a Linux cloud server downloaded to my local Windows machine for analysis with the Windows GUI? I do that regularly with VTune without any problems.
Thanks.
In short - the method described in the question is generally correct, but for Advisor it is also important to specify --project-dir (keep it the same accross all analysis types).
1) [on linux] advixe-cl --collect=survey --project-dir ./my_project_dir ./My_Program.exe
2) [on linux] advixe-cl --collect=tripcounts --project-dir ./my_project_dir ./My_Program.exe
etc..
3) copy my_project_dir folder from Linux to Windows
4) [on windows in Advisor GUI or with advixe-gui - open] ./my_project_dir and use "Show My Result" button.
This is covered on Intel forum too, as noted in "comments" to the original question.
In addition There are 2 other different methods : using --snapshot command or just exchaning interactive HTML GUIs (available for Roofline and Offload features). They are described at e.g. given nice article: https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/advisor-cookbook/top/analyze-performance-remotely-and-visualize-results-on-macos.html
