Set Up Project
Before you run an analysis with Intel® VTune™ Profiler, you create a project.
A project contains these details :
- An analysis target
- The configuration information for an analysis type
- Data collection results
For Microsoft Visual Studio* IDE, VTune Profiler creates a project for an active startup project. After inheriting Visual Studio settings, VTune Profiler uses the application generated for the selected project as your analysis target. The default project directory is My VTune Results-[project name] in the solution directory.
For the standalone graphical interface, you create a project by specifying its name and the path to an analysis target. The default project directory is %USERPROFILE%\Documents\VTune\Projects on Windows* and $HOME/intel/vtune/projects on Linux*.
To create a VTune Profiler project for the standalone GUI:
Click New Project... in the Welcome screen.
In the Create a Project dialog box, configure these settings:
