Set Up Project
Before running an analysis with the
Intel® VTune™
, you have to create a
Profiler
project
, which is a container for an analysis target and analysis type configuration and data collection results.
For Microsoft Visual Studio* IDE,
VTune
creates a project for an active startup project, inherits Visual Studio settings and uses the application generated for the selected project as your analysis target. The default project directory is
Profiler
My
in the solution directory.
VTune
Results-[project name]For the standalone graphical interface, create a project by explicitly specifying its name and path to an analysis target. The default project directory is
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Amplifier XE\Projects
on Windows* and
