Intel Unveils New Linux Tool for Intel Itanium Processors

Intel Corp. is shipping a new version of the Intel VTune Performance Analyzer 2.0 for Linux, its first fully Linux-native performance analysis tool for the Intel Itanium processor family.

The Intel VTune Performance Analyzer identifies lines of code in an application that consume excessive amounts of processor resources. Developers can use this analysis to quickly identify and remove potential performance bottlenecks. A variety of software ranging from financial, engineering, scientific and multimedia can benefit.

"We have been very pleased with the reception by the Linux community to the first version of the Intel VTune Performance Analyzer for Linux," said Jon Khazam, general manager of Intel's Software Products Division. "In response to customers' requests, we have added native Linux support for the Itanium processor family and graphical viewers that allow developers to tune their applications for higher levels of performance directly in a Linux environment."

Intel also introduced version 2.0 of the Intel VTune Performance Analyzer Driver Kit. The kit adds open source drivers for the Intel VTune Performance Analyzer, allowing developers to use the tool with unsupported Linux distributions and customized kernels.

The new Intel VTune Performance Analyzer 2.0 for Linux offers more flexibility and convenience for Linux users through a command line interface, Java support, a user guide and "flow of control" analysis previously only available for Windows-based applications.
