Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE 2016 performance profiler
A performance profiler for serial and parallel performance analysis. Overview, training, support.
New for the 2016 Update 2! (Optional update unless you need...)
As compared to 2016 Update 1 release
Source/Assembly analysis available for OpenCL™ kernels
SGX Hotspots analysis support for identifying hotspots inside security enclaves for systems with the Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) feature enabled
HPC Characterization analysis (preview) that monitors utilization of the CPU, memory, and FPU for a compute-intensive or throughput application and helps identify floating point operation and memory optimization opportunities.
Metric-based navigation between call stack types replacing the former Data of Interest selection
Updated filter bar options, including the selection of a filtering metric used to calculate the contribution of the selected program unit (module, thread, and so on)
Default project configuration changed to apply existing target (thresholds for frame rate, region/ interrupt/function duration) and filtering (call stack mode, inline mode, loop mode) settings to all subsequent results generated for this project
New option to measure the maximum local bandwidth and use this data to scale the DRAM Bandwidth overtime view and calculate the bandwidth histogram thresholds
Support for the Fedora* 23, Ubuntu* 15.10
Support for the Microsoft Windows* 10 November update
Note: We are now labeling analysis tool updates as "Recommended for all users" or "Optional update unless you need…". Recommended updates will be available about once a quarter for users who do not want to update frequently. Optional updates may be released more frequently, providing access to new processor support, new features, and critical fixes.
Note: you may receive a warning message about "Unsigned driver" during installation on Windows* 7 and Windows* Server 2008 R2 systems. The VTune™ Amplifier hardware event-based sampling drivers (sepdrv.sys and vtss.sys) are now signed with digital SHA-2 certificate key for compliance with Windows* 10 requirements. To install the drivers on Windows* 7 and Windows* Server 2008 R2 operating systems, you must add functionality for the SHA-2 hashing algorithm to the systems by applying Microsoft* Security update 3033929: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/3033929
