Intel® Advisor provides design tools to help ensure your C/C++, Fortran, Data Parallel C++, OpenMP*, and OpenCL™ native/managed applications realize full performance potential on modern processors: Vectorization and Code Insights, CPU Roofline / Memory Insights, Threading, Offload Modeling, GPU Roofline Insights, and Flow Graph Analyzer.

Intel Advisor is available for download as a standalone installation and as part of Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit.

CPU Roofline / Memory Insights and GPU Roofline Insights features visualize actual performance against hardware-imposed performance ceilings (rooflines). They provide insights into where the bottlenecks are, which loops are worth optimizing for performance, what are the likely causes of bottlenecks and what should be the next optimization steps. 

Understand the Roofline

Learn what the Roofline is and how it works using the following resources:

Learn how to run the first Roofline Analysis and understand the results using the following resources:

Explore More Roofline Capabilities

Intel Advisor provides several advance features of the Roofline to help you visualize actual performance against hardware-imposed performance ceilings, as well as determine the main limiting factor (memory bandwidth or compute capacity), thereby providing an ideal roadmap of potential optimization steps.

Start with the User Guide, which provides an overview of all Roofline analysis capabilities available in the Intel Advisor:
