macOS* Support

You can run Intel® VTune™ Profiler on a macOS* host system to launch a collection on a remote Linux* system or Android* system. You can also view the data collection result on the macOS host. However, Intel® VTune™ Profiler does not support data collection on a local macOS machine.

Prerequisites

See the Intel VTune Profiler Installation Guide - macOS for detailed information about installing and configuring VTune Profiler for use on a macOS host.

  1. Install VTune Profiler on your macOS host.

  2. Set up a SSH connection to your remote target. You may need to install the appropriate drivers on the target system:

Get Started

  1. Launch the VTune Profiler GUI from the Launchpad or launch the command line collector by executing the amplxe-vars script and running the vtune command. By default, VTune Profiler is installed under the /Applications directory. For more information, see Standalone VTune Profiler Interface.

  2. Create a new project.

  3. Click the Configure Analysis icon to set up your remote collection. This opens the Performance Snapshot analysis type by default.
