Like the Intel Advisor toolbar, the Advisor Workflow helps you launch Intel Advisor tools. In addition, it helps guide you through steps in the Intel Advisor workflow, and keeps track of your progress through the workflow. The workflow exists in two versions - Vectorization Workflow and Threading Workflow. Select between the workflows via the buttons at the bottom of the Workflow Tab.
