Performance Analyzer can read experiments that were recorded on any supported OS and architecture, independent of the OS and architecture of the system on which it is currently running. When it runs on a remote client system, Performance Analyzer can read experiments recorded on any supported OS and architecture, independent of the remote host.
For example, if you are running Performance Analyzer remotely on a Windows laptop, you can connect to a remote x86 based system running Oracle Solaris and open an experiment that was recorded on a SPARC based system running Oracle Solaris.
