Use the Intel® VTune™ Amplifier Platform Profiler to gain insights into overall system configuration, performance, and behavior. Platform Profiler collects metrics on CPU, memory, network, and disk usage over a longer collection interval than other Intel VTune Amplifier analysis types.
To review the performance data provided by Platform Profiler, start by uploading the results to the server.
Start the server.
If you have not used the server since installing Intel VTune Amplifier, some initial setup is required. For details, see Platform Profiler Setup.
On Linux*:
Run the following commands to start the server manually after initial installation or a system reboot:
source ./vpp-server-vars.sh vpp-server-start
Navigate to the server home page in your browser (Google Chrome* recommended): http://localhost:6543
On Windows*:
Click Configure Analysis in the Intel VTune Amplifier user interface.
In the HOW pane, select Platform Profiler.
Click the Launch button to launch the server and open the server home page in your browser.
Click View Results.
Click the Upload button and select the result file to upload.
If you collected results on a different system, you may need to copy the results to the system on which the server is installed.
Select the result from the list to open the viewer.
The timeline allows you to filter on a smaller range of collection time.
Hover over the topology diagram to get quick metrics for each subsystem.
Click an area of interest in the topology diagram or select from the Select View drop-down list to focus on that subsystem (socket, core, memory, disk, etc.).
