Intel Vtune Performance Analyzer Essentials

Description

VTune Performance Analyzer Essentials is written for software application developers, software architects, quality assurance testers, and system integrators who wish to take the guesswork out of software tuning. Much like diagnostic computers for tuning engines, or flashlights for seeing plumbing in the dark reaches of your basement, the tools within the VTune analyzer "illuminate" your system and everything running on it. This book is a guide to "turning on the lights" and understanding what you see.

Included are a wide range of examples and step-by-step techniques that illustrate the VTune analyzer in action. Topics include:

 Hotspot hunting and automatic analysis
 Software tuning guidelines for different languages, such as C++, Fortran, Java*, Microsoft* Visual Basic*, and Microsoft* C#
 Automation of analysis tasks
 Remote analysis techniques for "headless" servers, PDAs, and cell phones
 How to analyze multithreaded programs
