WHERE: Analysis System
Before running a performance analysis, make sure to prepare your
target system
, which is a system where a profiling session runs.
The target system can be the same as the
host system
, which is a system where you have installed
VTune
. If you run an analysis on the same system where you installed
Profiler
VTune
(i.e. target system=host system), the target system is called a
Profiler
local
system. Target systems other than local ones are called
remote systems
.
When you create a project, the
Configure Analysis
window opens pre-configured to run
Performance Snapshot on the local host. Click on the analysis name in the
WHERE
pane to open the Analysis Tree, where you can choose a different analysis type.
Use these options to decide where you want to run the analysis.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Local Host | Run an analysis on the local host system.
This type of the target system is not available for macOS*.
|
Remote Linux (SSH) | Run an analysis on a remote regular or embedded Linux* system.
VTune
uses the SSH protocol to connect to your remote system.
Profiler |
Android Device (ADB) | Run an analysis on an Android device.
VTune
uses the Android Debug Bridge* (adb) to connect to your Android device.
Profiler |
Communication Agent (TCP/IP) | Profile an embedded system running a real-time operating system using the Analysis Communication Agent.
|
Arbitrary Host (not connected) | Create a command line configuration for a platform NOT accessible from the current host, which is called an
.
