Does code need to be compiled in any special way to enable source-code views?
A. To provide accurate performance data, the Intel(R) Parallel Amplifier requires debug information for binary files it analyzes. Generating debug information should not affect compiler optimizations but the linker may turn off some default optimizations, therefore verify that the optimization switches are enabled. If debug information does not exist, the Amplifier may not unwind the call stack correctly. Note, in some cases the finalization of results for modules without debug information can take much longer than the finalization with debug information present. Q. Do I need to use Intel® VTuneTM Performance analyzer or Intel® Thread Checker etc. any more since I found that Intel® Parallel Studio can do what VTune analyzer always do? A. VTune analyzer provides additional functionality. For example, VTune Event Based Sampling (the ability to track processor level events) is one such area. The Intel(R) Parallel Amplifier, an Intel(R) Parallel Studio tool, provides information on the per
