A profiling and performance analysis tool for people writing their own software

Availability

Can be installed on managed Linux workstations on request, and also on compute clusters on request. If you want to use it you should register for a free licence with Intel first.

Instructions for users

Once the computer officers have installed the software on your machine load the vtune module to access it.

Licence Details

This is proprietary software. However individuals can register for a free licence (which comes without any support) on Intel's website.

Admin notes

This software requires the installation of several kernel modules and some sysctl tweaks. It's therefore done by ansible for managed workstations. Add the INTEL_VTUNE_DRIVER tag to the system and then the regular ansible pull run will install it.

On clusters there is no standard method as yet,
