Overview video highlighting the advantages of using Intel® Parallel Amplifier in Microsoft Visual Studio* to tune threaded applications for best performance.

Quickly identify the places in your app that will benefit from tuning. Low overhead statistical stack sampling tells you where you are spending time and the common calling sequences.

When tuning for multicore, you need to know where you are spending a lot of time and not using all the cores. This is an opportunity to add parallelism and improve scaling.

Waiting too long on a lock is a very common parallel performance bottleneck. Intel Parallel Amplifier shows you where you are waiting and how many cores are idle. Just what you need to know to go faster.

Did your performance fix work? Compare results highlights the changes. This is perfect for performance regressions because it shows which function caused the slow down.

Start, pause and restart the collection of data to focus your tuning effort on a specific performance issue.
