Description

VTune Amplifier supports command line analysis of applications running on a remote Linux system (target) using the following product components installed:

VTune Amplifier XE:
- Host: VTune Amplifier command line interface (amplxe-cl)
- Remote Linux target: VTune Amplifier command line interface (amplxe-cl)
VTune Amplifier for Systems:
- Host: VTune Amplifier command line interface (amplxe-cl)
- Remote embedded Linux or Android target: target package with data collectors

When the VTune Amplifier collects data remotely, performance data is temporarily saved to the default /tmp directory on the remote system. If, for some reason, you changed the default temporary directory, make sure to specify this path with the -target-tmp-dir option.

This command runs Advanced Hotspots analysis with stacks for a Linux application and specifies a non-default temporary location on the remote system:

host>./amplxe-cl --target-system=ssh:vtune@10.125.21.170 -target-tmp-dir=/home/tmp –collect advanced-hotspots -knob collection-detail=stack-sampling -- /home/samples/matrix
