VTune

Profiler

supports the following usage modes for remote analysis of Linux applications on regular and embedded systems:

Requirements for the target system:

~25 MB disk space

This mode is recommended for most cross-development scenarios supported by the

VTune

Profiler

, especially if your target system is resource-constrained (insufficient disk space, memory, or CPU power) or if you use a highly customized Linux target system.

Requirements for the target system:

~200 MB disk space.

This mode is recommended for regular Linux target systems from supported operating systems listed in the product Release Notes. In this mode, you install the full-scale

VTune

Profiler

product on the host system and install the command line interface of the

VTune

Profiler

,

vtune

, on the target system, which enables you to run native data collection directly on the target.

The following figure shows an overview of the remote analysis that is run with

vtune

directly on the target system:

In the native usage mode, workflow steps to configure and run analysis on a remote system are similar to the remote collectors mode.

Sampling сollector (SEP) is a command-line tool for hardware event-based sampling analysis targeted for resource-restricted systems. The SEP package is delivered as part of the target package of the

VTune

Profiler

. The SEP package contains both

sep

utilities and the

sepdk

source code (for

pax.ko

and

sep4_x.ko

) to build the sampling drivers.

To use SEP, extract the SEP package from the

vtune_

profiler

_target_sep_x86.tgz

or

vtune_

profiler

_target_sep_x86_64.tgz

file, build the driver and upload both driver and

sep

utilities to the target, and then collect the event-based sampling performance data in command line. See the

Sampling Enabling Product User's Guide

for more details.
