Verify Your Installation
Use a self-check script to validate the installation of Intel® VTune™ Profiler on your system. Ensure that you installed appropriate drivers for data collection. You can run this script on a standalone system or a cluster environment.
The vtune-self-checker script is available in the <install-dir>/bin64 directory on the Windows or Linux system where you installed VTune Profiler. This script runs several representative analysis types on a sample with reliable hot spots. After execution, the script generates a log file that contains diagnostics on the success or failure of the checks. The self-checker script verifies the operation of these analyses:
Software sampling and tracing collection (Hotspots and Threading in the user-mode sampling)
Core event-based sampling collection (Hotspots in the hardware event-based sampling mode with and without stacks)
HPC Performance Characterization
Microarchitecture Exploration analysis
Memory Access analysis with uncore events
Threading with hardware event-based sampling
Performance Snapshot
GPU Compute/Media Hotspots (source analysis and characterization modes)
The result of the self-check provides these details:
- Analyses that passed the check
- Analyses that failed the check
- Possible collection limitations
- Steps to overcome collection limitations
- Information about missing permissions or outdated drivers
Use the --log-dir option when running the script to specify a location for the log file to be stored. This option is useful when running the script on a compute node through a job scheduler.
