Advisor

Intel® Advisor XE is a threading assistant for C, C++, C# and Fortran. It guides developers through threading design, automating analyses required for fast and correct implementation. It helps developers to add parallelism to their existing C/C++ or Fortran programs. You can use the Intel Advisor XE to: Find the most time-consuming serial code regions in your program. Insert Intel Advisor XE annotations to identify these as possible parallel code regions. Predict the approximate parallel performance characteristics of the proposed parallel code regions. Check for data sharing problems that could prevent the application from working correctly when parallelized.

Why Intel Advisor?

In order to see how an application behaves at the core level, for example:

• whether it is memory bound or compute bound

• how good is the vectorization

• how is the memory access pattern

• whether there are dependencies hindering vectorization

• where different loops/functions lie on the Roofline plot etc.

All the above queries can be answered using intel Advisor.
