Overview
The Intel® Platform Modeling tool is an Intel research project which simultaneously collects all available hardware metrics on the platform – host processor, chipset, video, 3D, even NVIDIA. Some of the hardware metrics are not yet publicly available but will be made available as soon as authorization is received. Software metrics such as Perfmon and metrics from application code can be added to the mix of simultaneous hardware metrics. By collecting metrics at the same time, relationships between metrics can be uncovered using any available method including Machine Learning (ML). With an increasing number of metrics available, a list of the best predictors of performance from ML can orient the developer to the right bottleneck in a hardware or software design. The Intel® Platform Modeling tool is available for Windows XP and Vista 32-bit platforms.

Memory Requirements
Memory and disk space requirements for the application you are tuning may be larger than the Platform Modeling tool requirements. In this case, make sure you have sufficient memory and disk space for running your application in addition to the Platform Modeling tool.
Interface | RAM | Swap space |
Command line collector and viewer | 20 MB | 20 MB |
|
|
|
Graphical User Interface | 256 MB | 256 MB |
Disk Space Requirements
Component | Disk Space |
Total (archive file, its extracted files, and all installed components) not including Eclipse* packages | 50 MB |
NOTE: Project data may use gigabytes of data on disk depending on the duration of sampling and the number of processors.
Installation
Run the setup.exe in the distributed directory to install the Platform Modeling tool.
