Platform Analysis
If your application is CPU-bound, you can capture trace data during the application run to perform in-depth platform analysis with respect to the CPU and GPU activity distribution. Intel® GPA collects real-time trace data during the application run and provides information on the code execution on the various CPU and GPU cores in your system, so that you can analyze some CPU-based workloads together with GPU-based workloads within a unified time domain. With Intel® GPA, you can:
- Explore GPU usage and analyze a software queue for GPU engines at each moment of time
- Analyze GPU usage per DMA packet on a software queue
- Analyze API calls (draw calls, buffer locks, resource updates, presents)
- Correlate CPU and GPU activity and identify whether your application is GPU or CPU bound
- Explore your application performance for user tasks created with the Intel® ITT API
- Identify GPU and CPU application frame rate and how it depends on vertical synchronization
- Explore the performance of your application over time per selected GPU metrics
The typical workflow is as follows:
