What’s new – Intel® VTune™ Amplifier for Systems 2014
VTune Amplifier 2014 for Systems Update 2
- Ability to specify x64 code from a 32-bit process in the JIT API
- Updated product toolbar providing quick access to the product documentation with the
- new Help button and to the Import dialog box (standalone only) with the Import Result
- button
- Updated Event Reference for Intel microarchitectures code name Ivy Bridge and Haswell
- Supported features for the remote Android* target:
- Optimized workflow for the remote data collection in the Attach to Process and Launch Android Package modes providing an option in the Project Properties: Target tab to easily get a list of processes and Android* packages available on the remote device and select the required target for analysis.
- Supported features for the remote Linux* target:
- Optimized workflow for the remote data collection in the Attach to Process mode providing an option in the Project Properties: Target tab to easily get a list of processes running on the remote Linux* system and select the required process for analysis.
- Ability to resolve symbols for modules with build-id and separate files with debug information
- NMI Watchdog timer automatically disabled during data collection
- Remote system configuration options provided in the Project Properties: Target tab to specify a path to the VTune Amplifier installed on a remote machine and a path to a remote temporary directory used for storing performance results
VTune Amplifier 2014 for Systems Update 1
- Summary window extended with hyperlinks for Top Hotspots and performance metrics navigating to the Bottom-up grid view
- Call Stack Mode default setting changed from “Only user function” to “User functions + 1” for better understanding of library usage
- Timeline grouping options
- Usability improvements for the structure of hardware event-based sampling analysis types to introduce cross-CPU basic configurations and separate advanced CPU-specific analysis configurations
- Support for external data collection launched from the VTune Amplifier with the Custom collector target configuration option or -custom-collector command line option.
- An option in the graphical and command line interface to import a csv file with the externally collected data into an existing VTune Amplifier result. Importing a csv file does not affect symbol resolution in the existing result.
- Event reference help for Intel microarchitecture code name Haswell
- Collection data limit option supported for hardware event-based analysis types
- Search functionality for the grid views added to the toolbar
- Single HTML help format across Linux* and Windows*
- Supported features for the remote Linux* target:
- Remote software-based algorithm analysis (Basic Hotspots, Concurrency, Locks and Waits) on embedded Linux target systems
- New analysis type “TSX Exploration” for 4th generation Intel® Core™ processors based on the Intel microarchitecture code name Haswell
- Auto-rebuild of sampling drivers at system boot time after Linux kernel update
- Supported features for the remote Android* target:
- Android 64 bit kernel support (not 64-bit user space)
- Support for Intel Processor code-named Moorefield
