The purpose of this project is to show how to use the Intel VTune Profiler with it's features that helps to analyze applications. The Intel VTune Amplifier has now been renamed to Intel Parallel Studio VTune Profiler. It is an intel bottleneck detector which analyzes and optimizes the software performance of a 32 and 64-bit x86 machine. It is a tool used to profile key data from serial and multithreaded applications that are executed on different platforms such as the CPU. The applications can be run on the VTune Profiler standalone version or the version installed with Intel Parallel Studio which then presents the analysis in the Intel VTune Profiler.

Web Server Interface In this version the Intel VTune Profiler is used in a web server mode. The interface provides a collaborative multi-user environment and access to a common repository of collected performance results. The web server interface helps with running the tool by configuring and controlling the analysis on arbitrary target systems and viewing collected results. A desktop application is not required to run this version.
