About the Book
VTune Performance Analyzer Essentials is written for software application developers, software architects, quality assurance testers, and system integrators who wish to take the guesswork out of software tuning. Much like diagnostic computers for tuning engines, or flashlights for seeing plumbing in the dark reaches of your basement, the tools within the VTune analyzer "illuminate" your system and
everything running on it. This book is a guide to "turning on the lights" and understanding what you see.
Included are a wide range of examples and step-by-step techniques that illustrate the VTune analyzer in action. Topics include:
- Hotspot hunting and automatic analysis
- Software tuning guidelines for different languages, such as C++, Fortran, Java*, Microsoft* Visual Basic*, and Microsoft* C#
- Automation of analysis tasks
- Remote analysis techniques for "headless" servers, PDAs, and cell phones
- How to analyze multithreaded programs
A special companion Web site to this book contains all code examples and bonus material, plus trial versions of Intel software development products including the VTune Performance Analyzer.
