Start Profiling - Select Profile Target

You can select the one of the following profile targets from the Select Profile Target drop-down:

• Application: Select this target when you want to launch an application and profile it (or launch and do a system-wide profile). The only compulsory option is a valid path to the executable. (By default, the path to the executable becomes the working directory unless you specify a path).
• System: Select this if you do not wish to launch any application but perform either a system-wide profile or profile specific set of cores.
• Process(es): Select this if you want to profile an application/process which is already running. This will bring up a process table which can be refreshed. Selecting any one of the processes from the table is mandatory to start profile.

Once profile target is selected and configured with valid data, the Next button will be enabled to go the next screen of Start Profiling.
