NOTE: It is important to point out that each of the elements in the categories of the table
above can be drilled down further, to show detailed statistical, diagnostics, and
performance metrics. To get the most value out of this utility, you are encouraged to spend
good deal of time using it.
This tool has two main components. The NetWare component (vtune.nlm) and the Intel
client component (VTUNE). The vtune.nlm is loaded on the NetWare server to collect
traces of information for instance, where the processor is spending its time, memory
read/write misalignments or branch mis-prediction. VTUNE is then used to process the
data collected by vtune.nlm. Intel's VTUNE runs under Windows 9X, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP.
To collect traces using this tool, follow these steps:
1. Load the vtune.nlm from the NetWare console.
2. Select the events of interest you want to profile, and then select the sampling
interval. Use the default trace file located on the root of the SYS volume or provide
a name preference of your choice using the DOS 8.3 naming format and save the
file.
3. Import the trace file by using the VTUNE client after you have collected all the
traces needed. This allows you to view the graphical display of trace data.
