Intel® VTune™ Amplifier
Use the Platform Profiler tool packaged with Intel VTune Amplifier to gain insights into overall system configuration, performance, and behavior. Before you begin collecting data, set up your server and the target system on which you want to collect platform performance data.
This is a PREVIEW FEATURE. 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 or to intelsystemstudio@intel.com.
To install the server:
Navigate to <vtune_install_dir>/vpp/server.
Run the following commands for the server configuration script and follow the prompts using an account with root or sudo privileges.
source ./vpp-server-vars.sh vpp-server-config
Run the following commands to start the server manually after initial installation or a system reboot:
source ./vpp-server-vars.sh vpp-server-start
Run the following commands to stop the server:
source ./vpp-server-vars.sh vpp-server-stop
Click Configure Analysis in the Intel VTune Amplifier user interface.
In the HOW pane, select Platform Profiler.
Click the Setup button to configure the server. This step usually takes 5-10 minutes to complete and requires administrative access.
If you see the Launch button instead of the Setup button, the server is already configured.
Once the server has started, a browser automatically opens the server interface and an icon
appears in your task bar. Use the task bar icon to stop the server.
The collectors used for the Platform Profiler are automatically installed with other VTune Amplifier collectors on a target system. No additional configuration is required.
