Project Setup

Before running an analysis with the Intel® VTune™ Amplifier, you have to create a project, which is a container for an analysis target and analysis type configuration and data collection results.

By default, the VTune Amplifier XE creates a project in the $HOME/intel/amplxe/projects directory. VTune Amplifier for Systems creates a project in the $HOME/intel/amplsys/projects directory

   • Click the menu button and select New > Project....

   • Click the New Project toolbar button.

   • Click the New Project... hyperlink in the Welcome page.
