From: Max Vilimpoc Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 17:46:46 +0000 (+0200) Subject: dotfiles: report Intel VTune rather than installing it X-Git-Url: https://vilimpoc.org/repos/dotfiles/commitdiff_plain/1e91b38f9f50d0f6e706c8f710ad6a77c974799e?hp=1e91b38f9f50d0f6e706c8f710ad6a77c974799e dotfiles: report Intel VTune rather than installing it The elevated half now prints whether VTune is on the box, its version and the path to vtune.exe, and prints the download page when it is not -- adding that the CPU is not Intel, when it is not. Not automated on purpose. The offline installer is a ~750 MB download from registrationcenter-download.intel.com/akdlm/IRC_NAS//, and that GUID is per-release with no "latest" redirect behind it, so every new build would mean editing a hard-coded link in a script whose whole point is running unattended on a fresh box. It also only earns its place on Intel silicon, since hardware event-based sampling reads Intel PMU counters. The unattended incantation is recorded in the comment and the README for anyone who does want to script it: -a --silent --cli --eula accept Detection reads the two Uninstall hives rather than probing a path, so it follows the install wherever it went, and the CLI path goes through the oneAPI `latest` junction so it stays right across upgrades. Exercised against the 2026.2.0 install on this box: reports the version and a vtune.exe that exists.
