Intel® VTune™ Amplifier supports sampling on up to 4096
processors (CPUs). To focus on specific processors, set processor
masking and select processors to monitor for the hardware event-based sampling collection:
Click the Configure Project button on the VTune Amplifier toolbar.
The Analysis Target tab opens.
Select a required target system from the left pane and a target type from the drop-down menu in the right pane.
From the Advanced section, configure the CPU mask option to collect data on the processors with the specified numbers and/or specified ranges. For example, specify "2-8, 10, 12-14" values to sample CPUs 2 through 8, 10, and 12
through 14.
Analysis Target Setup Before running a VTune Amplifier analysis, you have to specify what you want to profile - your analysis target, which could be an executable file, a process, or a whole system.
