Intel® VTune™ Amplifier

Application Idle/Active Power Consumption

Configure the Intel® VTune™ Amplifier to collect special metrics and analyze idle and active power consumption of your system and the impact your software has on the system behavior.

To enable power consumption metrics for your analysis:

  1. Click the New Analysis button on the VTune Amplifier toolbar.

    The New Amplifier Result tab opens with the Analysis Type window active.

  2. In the Analysis Type window, select a hardware event-based sampling analysis type from the left pane, for example: Advanced Hotspots.

    The corresponding configuration pane opens on the right.

  3. Click the Copy button in the upper right corner of the configuration pane.

    The Custom Analysis dialog box opens.

  4. Select the Collect stacks, Analyze idle power consumption and/or Analyze active power consumption checkboxes.
  5. Click OK to save the configuration.

    VTune Amplifier creates a new analysis type in the Custom Analysis branch of the analysis tree.

  6. Click the Start button to launch the custom analysis.

Note

  • For platform power analysis, use the Intel® Energy Profiler provided with the VTune Amplifier for Systems.

  • The Analyze idle power consumption and Analyze active power consumption options are available only for the Intel microarchitectures code name Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge.
