A project serves as a reusable container for your application. It contains the location of the target executable and its associated properties, as well as a previously collected result from Intel Advisor tool analysis.
To run Intel Advisor tools in its GUI, you need to first create a project and specify its properties. To create a project, after you launch the Intel Advisor GUI:
- Choose
File > New > Project... or click the equivalent
toolbar icon or the Welcome page's
New Project... link.
- In the Create a Project dialog box, specify a Project name and browse to select a directory Location. Project files should be located in a different directory than your source directories, such as a directory above the source directories or in a separate projects directory. You must have write permission to the specified directory and its subdirectories.
- Click the Create Project button to display the Project Properties dialog box. After you create a new project, the project is opened, allowing you to specify its properties.
