Intel® VTune™ Amplifier
Before running a performance analysis, make sure to prepare your target system, which is a system where a profiling session runs.
The target system can be the same as the host system, which is a system where the VTune Amplifier GUI is installed. If you run an analysis on the same system where the VTune Amplifier is installed (i.e. target system=host system), such a target system is called local. Target systems other than local are called remote systems.
When you create a project, the
Configure Analysis window opens pre-configured to run the entry-point Hotspots analysis on the local host. You can click the
Browse button in the
WHERE pane to choose a different system type for analysis:
Local Host |
Run an analysis on the local host system. NoteThis type of the target system is not available for macOS*. |
Remote Linux (SSH) |
Run an analysis on a remote regular or embedded Linux* system. VTune Amplifier uses the SSH protocol to connect to your remote system. |
Android Device (ADB) |
Run an analysis on an Android device. VTune Amplifier uses the Android Debug Bridge* (adb) to connect to your Android device. |
Arbitrary Host (not connected) |
Create a command line configuration for a platform NOT accessible from the current host, which is called an arbitrary target. |
