important metrics for performance analysis and tuning of applications running on
persistent memory platforms, including some examples of how to collect the data using
the VTune Profiler tool.
Performance profiling and optimization are an iterative process that only ends
when you determine that the investment required for the next improvement is too high
for the benefit that will be returned. Use the concepts introduced in this chapter to
understand how your workloads can benefit from persistent memory, and use some of
the optimization techniques we discussed to tune for this type of platform.
