GPU PerfStudio is no longer supported
Try our Radeon™ Developer Tool Suite instead!
Introducing the Radeon™ Developer Tool Suite
The Radeon™ Developer Tool Suite combines our Radeon™ GPU Profiler, Radeon™ Memory Visualizer, Radeon™ GPU Analyzer, and Radeon™ Developer Panel in one handy package.
GPU PerfStudio
Spend more time writing code and less time debugging. GPU PerfStudio gives developers control with seamless workflow integration. Identify performance and algorithm issues early in the development cycle, and meet your quality and performance goals. GPU PerfStudio is the second generation GPU Performance Analysis and Debugging Tool from AMD. It offers clear advantages to developers by cutting software development time and improving graphics quality. Read on to learn more or click to go to downloads.
Integrated tools
GPU PerfStudio integrates five tools that are key for the contemporary graphics developer. A Frame Debugger that allows you to visualize the graphics state and resources in your frame, a Frame Profiler that allows you to identify per draw call performance issues at the hardware counter level, a Shader Debugger that allows you to step through and debug your shader code and its output, an API Trace window with integrated CPU timing information, and a Shader Analyzer for optimizing your shader code.
This screen shot (click image for larger view) shows the Frame Profiler and, Frame Debugger in use at the same time. In this scenario the profiler was used to identify an expensive draw call. The draw call was selected in the blue list on the right hand side causing the Frame Debugger to jump to that draw call. The vertex and index buffer, the texture assets, and depth buffer for this draw call are currently displayed. The pixel shader code can be stepped through where the relationship between the code and assets can be thoroughly explored to identify costly aspects of the shader.
