The AMD GPU Performance API (AMD GPUPerfAPI, or GPA) is a powerful library, providing access to GPU Performance Counters. It can help analyze the performance and execution characteristics of applications using an AMD Radeon™ GPU.

AMD GPUPerfAPI is used by the AMD Radeon™ GPU Profiler, as well as several third-party tools including Microsoft PIX on Windows and RenderDoc.
