+Intel® Instrumentation and Tracing Technology (ITT) and Just-In-Time (JIT) API
+==================================================================================
+
+This ITT/JIT open source profiling API includes:
+
+  - Instrumentation and Tracing Technology (ITT) API
+  - Just-In-Time (JIT) Profiling API
+
+The Instrumentation and Tracing Technology (ITT) API enables your application
+to generate and control the collection of trace data during its execution 
+across different Intel tools.
+
+ITT API consists of two parts: a _static part_ and a _dynamic part_. The
+_dynamic part_ is specific for a tool and distributed only with a particular
+tool. The _static part_ is a common part shared between tools. Currently, the
+static part of ITT API is distributed as a static library and released under
+a BSD/GPLv2 dual license with every tool supporting ITT API.
+
