Use the Intel® VTune™ Amplifier installed on the Windows* or Linux* host to analyze code performance and power consumption on remote Linux systems.
Note
Remote analysis on embedded Linux systems is supported by the Intel® VTune™ Amplifier 2014 for Systems, part of the Intel® System Studio.
VTune Amplifier supports the following usage modes for remote analysis of Linux applications on regular and embedded systems:
Remote CLI (
amplxe-cl) or GUI (amplxe-gui) (recommended for regular and embedded systems)Native CLI with installing and running
amplxe-cldirectly on a remote Linux system
Remote CLI and GUI Usage Mode
Requirements for the target system: ~25 MB disk space
This mode is recommended for most cross-development scenarios supported by the VTune Amplifier for Systems, especially if your target system is resource-constrained (insufficient disk space, memory, or CPU power) or if you use a highly customized Linux target system.
To collect data on a remote embedded Linux system with the VTune Amplifier for Systems:
1. | Install VTune Amplifier | Install the full-scale VTune Amplifier product on the host system. NoteFor the VTune Amplifier for Systems installed as part of Intel System Studio, the default |

Native Usage Mode
Requirements for the target system: ~200 MB disk space.
This mode is recommended for regular Linux target systems from supported operating systems listed in the product Release notes. In this mode, you install the full-scale VTune Amplifier product on the host system and install the command line interface of the VTune Amplifier, amplxe-cl, on the target system, which enables you to run native data collection directly on the target.
The following figure shows an overview of the remote analysis that is run with amplxe-cl directly on the target system:
In the native usage mode, workflow steps to configure and run analysis on a remote system are similar to the remote collectors mode.
