Intel® VTune™ Amplifier

HOW: Analysis Types

Intel® VTune™ Amplifier provides a set of pre-configured analysis types you may start with to address your particular performance optimization goals.

When you create a project, the VTune Amplifier opens the Configure Analysis window that prompts you to specify WHAT you want to analyze (an application, process, or a whole system), a system WHERE you plan to run the analysis, and select HOW you need to run the analysis.

Configure Analysis: Analysis Type

Clicking the Browse button in the HOW pane opens an analysis guide that helps you choose an analysis type applicable to your workload. Analysis types are distributed per groups:

Hotspots group:

Parallelism group:

Microarchitecture group:

In addition, the VTune Amplifier offers Platform analysis group that is helpful in specific use cases, such as GPU, I/O, IRQ analysis and so on:

Note

A PREVIEW FEATURE may or may not appear in a future production release. It is available for your use in the hopes that you will provide feedback on its usefulness and help determine its future. Data collected with a preview feature is not guaranteed to be backward compatible with future releases. Please send your feedback to parallel.studio.support@intel.com.

As an alternative, advanced users may consider creating a custom analysis using the data collectors provided by the VTune Amplifier, or combining a VTune Amplifier's collector and any other custom collector.
