is based on a project paradigm and requires that you create or open a project to enable analysis features. Think of a project as a reusable container for:
- The location of a compiled application
- A collection of configurable properties
- An analysis result
You can skip this step in the following cases:
- If you use Intel Advisor as a Microsoft Visual Studio* integration, as it creates a new project automatically when opened.
- If you use Intel Advisor from the command line interface, as it creates a new project automatically when you run the first analysis
