Pane: Analysis Workflow

Use the Analysis Workflow pane to set up and control execution of your Intel® Advisor perspectives. This pane allows you to select and run a perspective, choose data collection accuracy level, control both the execution of the entire perspective and of each analysis separately.

To open the Analysis Workflow pane, click the Show My Result and Workflow button on the main toolbar.

Select a Perspective

Use a drop-down list at the top of the Analysis Workflow pane to select a perspective you are going to run.

Intel Advisor allows you to analyze application performance using the following perspectives:

Select Data Collection Accuracy Level

View the accuracy level options in the Accuracy pane under perspective execution controls. You can select Low, Medium, High, and Custom accuracy level depending on the analysis types you want to perform. Data collection accuracy level affects the potential overhead. View the potential overhead in the Overhead indicator under the Accuracy pane. For more information about managing overhead, see Minimize Analysis Overhead.

NOTE:
Choosing analysis types manually automatically sets the data collection accuracy level to Custom.
