Use libraries

Better results
Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives

Less efforts
• Highly optimized multimedia/math library functions
C/C++ Intel® Threading Building Blocks
• Threading libraries for parallelizing you applications with
excellent scaling to current and future processors

Modify sources Manual optimization
• Identify C and ASM – source spot optimization opportunities
C/C++
• Analyse results – update sources, rebuild, analyze again
ASM


Tune
Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE for MeeGo*
Identifies hard to find performance bottlenecks
Features
• Statistic Analysis
• Stack based sampling
• Low overhead sampling
• No source/binary code instrumentation required
• View results with corresponding source / assembly code

Usage Model
• Two components Host
 Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE on host *.AMPLXE result file
 Sampling Collector on the target
• Collect data on target and analyze it on
Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE Sampling Collector
the host

The Intel® VTune™ Amplfier XE tells you which module, function or
routine could use some improvement

• OS-timer-based sampling
• Time-based hotspot analysis – easy to use
• For concurrency & wait sampling
• No specific drivers required


Tune
Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE
Performance Profiler

Where is my application…
Spending Time? Wasting Time? Waiting Too Long?

• Focus tuning on • See how efficient you • See locks by wait time
functions taking time run your parallel code • Red/Green for CPU
• See call stacks • Show threads which are utilization during wait
• See time on source running or runable

Focus your application optimization efforts where it counts – Intel®
VTune™ Amplifier XE for MeeGo* helps to analyze applications without
source and binary instrumentation

Optimization Notice
Optimization Notice

Intel compilers, associated libraries and associated development tools may include or utilize options that
optimize for instruction sets that are available in both Intel and non-Intel microprocessors (for example SIMD
instruction sets), but do not optimize equally for non-Intel microprocessors. In addition, certain compiler
options for Intel compilers, including some that are not specific to Intel micro-architecture, are reserved for
Intel microprocessors. For a detailed description of Intel compiler options, including the instruction sets and
specific microprocessors they implicate, please refer to the “Intel Compiler User and Reference Guides” under
“Compiler Options." Many library routines that are part of Intel compiler products are more highly optimized
for Intel microprocessors than for other microprocessors. While the compilers and libraries in Intel compiler
products offer optimizations for both Intel and Intel-compatible microprocessors, depending on the options
you select, your code and other factors, you likely will get extra performance on Intel microprocessors.

Intel compilers, associated libraries and associated development tools may or may not optimize to the same
degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These
optimizations include Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (Intel® SSE2), Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions
3 (Intel® SSE3), and Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Intel SSSE3) instruction sets and other
optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on
microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are
intended for use with Intel microprocessors.

While Intel believes our compilers and libraries are excellent choices to assist in obtaining the best
performance on Intel and non-Intel microprocessors, Intel recommends that you evaluate other compilers and
libraries to determine which best meet your requirements. We hope to win your business by striving to offer
the best performance of any compiler or library; please let us know if you find we do not.

Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components
and reflect the approximate performance of Intel products as measured by those tests. Any
difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance.
Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or
components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on
