2. Install the software tools using the previously acquired serial number.

3. Verify

that

/opt/intel/composerxe/Samples/en_US/C++/mic_sample

/opt/intel/composerxe/Samples/en_US/Fortran/mic_sample for Fortran code) with

"setenv H_TRACE 2" or "export H_TRACE=2" to display the dialog between the Host and Intel®

Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor (messages from the processor will be prefixed with "MIC:"). If you do see

dialog then everything is running fine and the system is ready for general use.

4. If you intend to collect performance data on this system using Intel VTune Amplifier XE 2013:

a) After MPSS gets started, it loads the data collection driver automatically. But for some reason, if

it fails to load the data collection driver, you can manually load the driver

/opt/intel/vtune_amplifier_xe/bin64/k1om/ and running:

sudo sep_micboot_install.sh

b) Start (or restart) the Intel® Manycore Platform Software Stack service (this also starts the

sampling driver once the files are copied in the previous step):

sudo service mpss restart

sudo micctrl -r

sudo micctrl -w

The coprocessor has successfully restarted when micctrl –w reports "micx: online"

The sampling driver will now start every time the coprocessor is restarted

d) If you ever need to reinstall the sampling driver, it can be done as follows:

sudo service mpss stop

sudo sep_micboot_uninstall.sh

sudo service mpss restart

sudo micctrl –w
