Senior Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/11/2020 "Helps as no others do" 5/5 What do you like best about Intel VTune Amplifier? VTune is the most advanced profiler on the market. VTune helped us to optimize our code and found bottlenecks easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Intel VTune Amplifier? The interface might look complicated and requires some special knowledge and practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Intel VTune Amplifier: Start using it as soon as possible. This would save you time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Intel VTune Amplifier solving and how is that benefiting you? We had a strange performance issue on a project and only VTune helped us to figure it out. Our project was a multithreaded linux network service written in C. It spawns about 10 workers to process incoming messages but we noticed that increasing the number of worker threads does not increase performance and we are losing some packets because of that. So we started digging using various profilers without any success. But when it came to the VTune it showed the issue instantly! We revealed a thread-lock inside of tzset() and move it outside of workers code. After that all issues were gone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Intel VTune Amplifier solving and how is that benefiting you? Used for large scale simulator ,which was processing many tcp request from different client .We have multiple worker thread to process request and send response. There we used Vtune for identifying whether CPU utilization and memory utilization are proper with in application. We have identified design issues with application since some thread was blocking. Using Vtune we could identify the issue and solved it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

R&D Software Engineer IV Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/6/2021 "Best Profiler for native applications." 5/5 What do you like best about Intel VTune Amplifier? There are very less profilers available which provide deep insight into a C/C++ written software over Linux. CPU hotspots can be identified easily. Best feature that I like is that it obtains how the process is using different cores of CPU e.g. is it optimally utilizing all the cores of CPU or latching onto one core all the time. Apart from that how much time thread context switching is taking, how much time went into IO and by which thread. This enables fine tuning the application parameters. Moreover it provides ample amount of trial time. The trial time given to the users is also sufficient. Visual graphs and charts for different performance metrics are easy to interpret, though having all the required details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Intel VTune Amplifier? I was not able to do live profiling of a process running on a remote Linux VM. I had to take the dump and read via app in local system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Intel VTune Amplifier: Best for C/C++ applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Intel VTune Amplifier solving and how is that benefiting you? Reducing the latencies of API's, identification of hotspots, increasing the parallelism, reducing the IO time. Tuning the number of threads for maximum utilization of CPU. Identification of best locking/synchronization methodologies (spin vs mutex) etc. To design high performance low latency API's where each millisecond matters all of the above factors are important and needs to be identified at high throughput - a good tool is required for sure for the purpose which can provide the relevant data out of the box.

Easy to use, doesn't require special background. I was able quickly find memory leak and some CPU overload in specific modules I've choose to tune. It also doesn't add too much load on the process. Was easy to use it while simulation - under load tests in order to get leaks reproduced. Once reproduced, it let you keep session and get back on its analyze later Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Intel VTune Amplifier? Would be great have some way to automatically mark static memory allocations in order to avoid false alarms.
