Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE and Intel® VTune™ Amplifier for Systems Help

Analysis System Setup

Before running a performance analysis, make sure to prepare your target system, which is a system where a profiling session runs.

The target system can be the same as the host system, which is a system where the VTune Amplifier GUI is installed. If you run an analysis on the same system where the VTune Amplifier is installed (i.e. target system=host system), such a target system is called local. Target systems other than local are called remote systems.

Depending on the product version, the Intel VTune Amplifier supports the following target systems:
