Containerization Support
Use containers to set up environments for profiling:
- You can prepare a container with an environment pre-configured with all the tools you need, then develop within that environment.
- You can move that environment to another machine without additional setup.
- You can extend containers with different sets of compilers, profilers, libraries, or other components, as needed.
Depending on the setup, Intel® VTune™ Profiler supports the following target types and analyses:
Setup
| Target Type
| Analysis Type
|
|---|---|---|
VTune Profiler and app running in the same container
|
|
|
VTune Profiler in the container and an app outside the container
|
| |
VTune Profiler outside the container and an app in the container (supported containers: LXC*, Docker, Mesos*, Singularity*)
|
|
- The Hotspots (hardware event-based samplingmode) and Microarchitecture Exploration analyses are configured to use driver-less data collection based on the Linux Perf* tool.
- In theProfile Systemmode,VTuneprofilesProfilerallapplications running in the same container or in different containers simultaneously. So, the standard limitation for the system-wide profiling of the managed code is not applicable to Java applications running in the containers.
- The Attach to Process target type for Java apps is supported only with the Java Development Kit (JDK).
- When VTune Profiler and an application are NOT running in the same container, both local and remote target system configurations are available.
