NOTE: As of September 19th, 2011, Intel GPA 4.1 is no longer the latest release of Intel Intel Graphics Performance Analyzers (Intel GPA). Please see this article on
the Intel GPA 4.2 release. This article is still available for those who
want to see what features were added in the Intel GPA 4.1 release.
Just downloaded GPA, and for some reason I get this each time I run setup.exe:

Pls help us in getting this fixed.

Every time I start GPA Monitor, it says that a new version of GPA is available. But the new version is the one I'm currently running :)

Hi. I'm running VS2010 so I'm using GPA 4.0 as an alternative to Task Analyzer(TAL in GPA 3.0). I'm trying to model the system flow of my multi-threaded application. I'm using mainly named tasks and markers, although I'm having a problem when some tasks are nested in other larger ones. For example, in this sequence: BeginTask("LargeTask") BeginTask("SubTask A"); EndTask("SubTask A"); BeginTask("SubTask B"); EndTask("SubTask B"); EndTask("LargeTask"); All I see is LargeTask in Platform Analyzer. What is the best way to show the system flow as intended?
Hello,
Congrats on the new GPA release, I've only just started using it and it is already working much better than PIX for Windows. However there are a few minor issues that prevent me from using GPA to debug my day-to-day problems:
1) Floating-point textures are displayed using RGB by default. You can change this to something more appropriate like greyscale in the histogram tab, but the viewer should pick the correct default based on the format. In my case I was troubleshooting an R32F texture.
I just tried the latest GPA (4.0.144237) and was surprised to see that the vertex/pixel shader constants are not available from the State tab. Am I just blind? I had to revert back to PIX for Windows to debug that kind of problem.
This is a DX9 app, I don't know if it works with DX10 constant buffers.
In case it's relevant, here is the Monitor's About box info...

If I try to launch any application from the Run window in GPA 4.0, I get the following error immediately, before the application even begins to open. This error even occurs with the GPASample.exe app.

Intel GPA Sample Application (or any application name you try to run)
Intel GPA Sample Application has stopped working...press various options, check online, close program, debug, etc.
