Summary Report
Similar to the Summary window, available in GUI, the summary report provides overall performance data of your target. Intel® VTune™ Profiler automatically generates the summary report when data collection completes. To disable this report, use the no-summary option in your command when performing a collect or collect-with action.
Use the following syntax to generate the Summary report from a preexisting result:
vtune -report summary -result-dir <result_path>
The summary report output depends on the collection type:
User-mode Sampling and Tracing Collection Summary Report
For User-Mode Sampling and Tracing Collection results, the summary report includes the following sections:
Collection and Platform Information
CPU Information
Summary per basic analysis metrics
Example 1: User-Mode Sampling Hotspots Summary
This example generates the summary report for the r000hs Hotspots analysis result on Windows*:
vtune -report summary -r r000hs
Elapsed Time: 1.857s CPU Time: 10.069s Effective Time: 10.069s Idle: 0.000s Poor: 1.294s Ok: 6.381s Ideal: 2.395s Over: 0s Spin Time: 0s Overhead Time: 0s Total Thread Count: 9 Paused Time: 0s Top Hotspots Function Module CPU Time --------- ---------- -------- multiply1 matrix.exe 10.069s Collection and Platform Info Application Command Line: C:\temp\samples\en\C++\matrix_vtune\matrix\vc14\Win32\Release\matrix.exe Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Computer Name: my-computer Result Size: 5 MB Collection start time: 09:41:57 06/09/2018 UTC Collection stop time: 09:41:58 06/09/2018 UTC Collector Type: Event-based counting driver,User-mode sampling and tracing CPU Name: Intel(R) Processor code named Skylake Frequency: 4.008 GHz Logical CPU Count: 8
Example 2: Threading Summary
This example generates a summary report for the Threading analysis result r003tr. The summary portion of the report shows that the multithreaded target spent 64 seconds waiting, with an average concurrency of only 1.073:
vtune -report summary -r r003tr
Summary ------- Average Concurrency: 1.073 Elapsed Time: 13.911 CPU Time: 11.031 Wait Time: 64.468 Average CPU Usage: 0.768
To identify the cause of the wait, view the result in the GUI performance pane, or generate a performance report.
Hardware Event-based Sampling Collection Summary Report
For Hardware Event-based Sampling Collection results, the summary report includes the following information (if available):
- Collection and Platform information
- Microarchitecture Exploration metrics
- CPU information
- GPU information
- Summary per basic analysis metrics
- Event summary
- Uncore Event summary
For some analysis types, the command-line summary report provides an issue description for metrics that exceed the predefined threshold. If you want to skip issues in the summary report, do one of the following:
Use the -report-knob show-issues=false option when generating the report, for example: vtune -report summary -r r001hpc -report-knob show-issues=false
Use the -format=csv option to view the report in the CSV format, for example: vtune -report summary -r r001hpc -format=csv
Example 3: Hardware Event-Based Sampling Hotspots Summary
This example generates the summary report for the r001hs Hotspots analysis (hardware event-based sampling mode) result on Windows* OS.
vtune -report summary -r r001hs

Use the Elapsed Time metric as your performance baseline to estimate your optimizations.
Example 4: HPC Performance Characterization Summary
This command generates the summary report for the HPC Performance Characterization analysis result and skips issue descriptions:

Example 5: Memory Access Summary
This command generates the summary report for the Memory Access analysis result collected on Windows and shows issue descriptions:
vtune -report summary -r r001macc
Elapsed Time: 7.917s CPU Time: 6.473s Memory Bound: 21.9% of Pipeline Slots | The metric value is high. This may indicate that a significant fraction | of execution pipeline slots could be stalled due to demand memory load | and stores. Explore the metric breakdown by memory hierarchy, memory | bandwidth information, and correlation by memory objects. | L1 Bound: 8.0% of Clockticks | This metric shows how often machine was stalled without missing the | L1 data cache. The L1 cache typically has the shortest latency. | However, in certain cases like loads blocked on older stores, a load | might suffer a high latency even though it is being satisfied by the | L1. | L2 Bound: 3.0% of Clockticks L3 Bound: 5.0% of Clockticks | This metric shows how often CPU was stalled on L3 cache, or contended | with a sibling Core.

The Bandwidth Utilization section in the summary report shows the following metrics:
Platform Maximum: Expected maximum bandwidth for the system. This value can be automatically estimated using micro-benchmark at the start of analysis or hard-coded based on theoretical bandwidth limits.
Observed Maximum: Maximum bandwidth observed during the analysis. If the value is close to the Platform Maximum, your workload is probably bandwidth-limited.
Average Bandwidth: Average bandwidth utilization during the analysis.
% of Elapsed Time with High BW Utilization: Percentage of Elapsed time spent heavily utilizing system bandwidth.
This information is provided for all kinds of bandwidth domains you have in the result (DRAM, MCDRAM, QPI, and so on).
