Check if a process is running on the Intel Phi

Hi everyone,

For energy measurement purposes I need to run a program "X" on the Intel phi, that detects when a program "Y" is running in the Intel phi.

Program X runs natively on the Intel Phi (I launch it directly from an ssh terminal logged in the Intel Phi) while program Y is offloaded from the host using micnativeloadex

Here is the code I use in program X, to find if a process is running is a function, that takes in parameter the name of the process:

int findProcessByName(const char* name)
{
	DIR* dir;
	struct dirent* ent;
	char* endptr;
	char buf[512];

	//Can we open /proc directory ?
	if (!(dir = opendir("/proc")))
	{
		perror("can't open /proc");
		return -1;
	}

	while((ent = readdir(dir)) != NULL)
	{
		/* if endptr is not a null character, the directory is not
		* entirely numeric, so ignore it */
		long lpid = strtol(ent->d_name, &endptr, 10);
		if (*endptr != '\0')
		{
			continue;
		}


		/* try to open the cmdline file */
		snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "/proc/%ld/cmdline", lpid);
		FILE* fp = fopen(buf, "r");

		if (fp)
		{
			if (fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), fp) != NULL)
			{
				/* check the first token in the file, the program name */
				char* first = strtok(buf, "");
				if (!strcmp(first, name))
				{
					fclose(fp);
					closedir(dir);
					return 1;
				}
			}

			fclose(fp);
		}
	}

	closedir(dir);
	return -1;
}

However I am guessing that the problem comes from the fact the processes running on the Phi are not present at this location "/proc/[PID]/cmdline" ?

Because, this function above, works perfectly on a "regular computer" (the host of the Intel Phi for example).

But it does not work on the Intel Phi.

I am guessing that the directory where I should look is "/tmp/coi_procs/1" am I right ? Is it the right place to look for process running on the Intel Phi? 

Thanks in advance for your help
