Any clue why this is happening ?

Hi Kunal,

On installing "AMD Catalyst Control Centre", "OpenCL.dll" gets automatically installed in "C:\Windows\System32".

I assume you were trying to run Debug session and hence the error.

For CPU profiling, you don't need "OpenCL.dll" or AMD Catalyst installed.

Following is the procedure to run CPU Profiling on CodeXL:

1. Launch CodeXL and click on "Create New Project" hyperlink in "Homepage".

2. In "New Project" settings, give appropriate path to executable and working directories and click OK.

3. By default, CodeXL creates project in "Debug" mode. You need to click on "P" icon or click on "Profile Mode" in "Profile" menu.

Now, the mode is changed to "Profile".

"Profile" menu will list the available profile types.

Thanks,

Kalyan P

Hi,

The message you're seeing refers to the CodeXL CPU Profiling driver. It is unrelated to the AMD Catalyst driver package.

Do you have AMD CodeAnalyst installed on this station? Did you install CodeAnalyst after installing CodeXL?

If the answers to the questions above are both yes then this may be a conflict between CodeAnalyst and CodeXL. Please follow these steps:

1. Uninstall CodeXL.

2. Uninstall CodeAnalyst.

3. Reinstall CodeXL.

Hi,

Can you please provide more info on CPU family that you are running CodeXL on?

You can get this information by doing the following:

     1. Launch CodeXL

     2. Click on "Tools -> System Information".

     3. Look for "CPU Family" in "system" tab.

This issue might also go sometimes after un-installing and installing of CodeXL. Can you try the following sequence once:

     1. Un-install CodeXL from control panel

     2. Reboot the system

     3. Install CodeXL

     4. Launch command-prompt as administrator and do following:

               a. sc query cpuloadservice

               b. sc query pcore

               c. sc query cpuprof

     5. All the system queries run in step-4 should give STATE as "RUNNING".

     6. start profiling from CodeXL.

Hope this helps. let me know if you are still seeing a problem.

Thanks,

Kalyan P

Hi Kaylan,

i tried to all this above, and it  looks that there's an issue: here is the result of step4

I do have nother post regarding the fact that I'm unable to have my GPU ( Radeon 777 , with the latest driver installed ) not being recognized by Code Xl ... I guess that the issues are related ....

C:\windows\system32>sc query cpuloadservice

[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

C:\windows\system32>sc query pcore

[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

C:\windows\system32>sc query cpuprof

[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

C:\windows\system32>

Hi,

For CPU profiling, the GPU installed on your platform does not matter.

from the error messages, it looks like CPU driver didn't get install.

can you please let us know the CPU on which you are running CodeXL?

Thanks,

Is it a known issue for CodeXL to post this error message if CodeAnalyst is already installed ?

I have both these softwares installed (CodeAnalyst first, then CodeXL). And i get this same error message when i want to start CPU time based profiling.

I am running on windows7

I reinstalled CodeXL and now i get different error message "OpenCL.dll library is missing". I found that there is OpenCL.dll in \CodeXL\Spies & copy-pasted it in \CodeXL to see if that works. It didnt work & i got the same error message after restarting CodeXL. Any ideas or suggestions how do I get my CPU profiling started ?
