README.mic_offload

Configuring TAU for MIC offload applications.

TAU can track both the host and mic sides of a MIC offloaded application. 

1. Configure TAU with both '-arch=mic_linux' and '-arch=x86_64'.

2. Set TAU makefile to x86_64 Makefile. Set TAU option '-optMICOffload', compile
and link application with the TAU compiler wrappers.

4. Set TAU environment variable: TAU_MIC_OFFLOAD=1, and MIC_PROXY_FS_ROOT=`pwd`
then run the application.

5. Host profile will be written out as profile.0.0.* and MIC profiles will be
written out as profile.0.<pid>.*.

NOTE: MIC offloading does not work with opari/pomp. Because it obfuscates the
instrumentation process the compiler can not tell which portions of the
measurement library needs to be compiled for the MIC architecture.
