Key Features:
- Unified CPU and GPU timeline visualization
- Low overhead profiling for accurate performance data
- Support for CUDA, OpenGL, Vulkan, and DirectX APIs
- Source code correlation for bottleneck identification
|
Use Cases:
- Identifying performance bottlenecks in AI/ML training workloads
- Optimizing game engine performance across CPU and GPU
- Analyzing parallel processing efficiency in scientific computing
|
Alternatives:
-
Instruments
– macOS native tool, limited GPU analysis
-
Intel VTune
– CPU-focused, less comprehensive GPU support
