Windows Performance Tools: DeadLock Analysis with Intel VTune Amplifier

- Hello, I'm Thomas Pantels and welcome to the Windows Performance Tools series where we look at Intel's VTune Amplifier to perform deadlock analysis. In this course you'll discover how to use the Locks and Waits analysis that Intel's VTune Amplifier provides. This analysis is used to identify one of the most common reasons for inefficient parallel execution within an application, threads waiting too long on synchronization objects will result in poor processor utilization. By knowing where to look in the source code and what changes to make, we will remove the deadlock and the optimized version will execute much faster.

If you optimize an application on the Windows platform, quite frequently you'll see the same benefits on both Android and Apple devices. Now let's get started.
