This
User and Reference Guide
 provides you with the description of the features of the Intel® Trace Collector. This information is provided in the two main sections:
  • User Guide – provides the usage instructions on Intel® Trace Analyzer and description of all its GUI elements.
  • Graphical User Interface – provides detailed description of all GUI elements available in Intel® Trace Analyzer.
  • Intel® Trace Analyzer Reference – provides the reference information for Intel® Trace Analyzer and introduces its main concepts.
F1 Help Availability
Intel Trace Analyzer provides the context-sensitive help available by pressing the F1 button on keyboard. By default, when you press the button, the online version of this document is opened in a browser. If you have an offline copy of this document downloaded from Intel® Software Development Products Registration Center, you can point to the document by setting the
ITA_DOC_DIR
 environment variable. In this case, a help page associated with the currently opened chart or dialog will open upon pressing F1.

Note
The term
process
 in this documentation implicitly includes thread. As soon as the Intel® Trace Analyzer loads a trace file that was generated running a multithreaded application, the GUI uses the term
thread
 only if it is applicable. This is done to avoid confusing MPI application programmers who normally use the term process instead of thread.

Product and Performance Information

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
