You can initiate analysis via the command line, running it as a background task or on a remote system, then view the result or generate a report at your convenience.

 tool to:
  • Collect performance analysis data for your target application using your specified analysis type and other options.
  • Generate reports from analysis results.
  • Import data files collected remotely.
  • Compare performance before and after optimization.
  • To access the most current command line documentation for
    vtune
    , enter:
    vtune
     -help
    .
  • When you perform a task through the
    VTune
    Profiler
     GUI, you can use the command generation feature to display the corresponding command and save it for future use.
