MPI Analysis Limitations

There are certain limitations in the current MPI profiling support provided by the Intel® Inspector:

  • MPI dynamic processes are not supported by the Intel Inspector. An example of dynamic process API is MPI_Comm_spawn

  • Intel Inspector analyzes data races or deadlocks inside a single process and cannot detect inter-process data races or deadlocks.
