Radeon GPU Profiler 1.1.1

With GDC 2018 getting ever closer, we wanted to get one last minor release of RGP out before things get hectic into the run up to the conference. It’s mostly polish and bug fixes compared to 1.1.0, with no new major features. We hope that’s very welcome when it comes to software we want you to be able to rely on day-to-day. Let’s check out the release highlights to see what’s new.

Radeon GPU Profiler

Firstly, we’ve changed the units on the ruler in the Event view and frame summary to be multiples of 10, to make it much easier to understand what you’re looking at. We’ve also fixed a bug where duplicate events should show up in small profiles when you looked at the view of the most expensive events. Sorry about that.

In the barrier view, we now show you all events sequentially if multiple command queues are used, and we now correctly show the contribution of fixed-function clipping in the event timeline view when looking at wavefront occupancy.

Lastly for the notable fixes, we now surface how much LDS memory is used by the compute shader used in the CS pipe, to make it easier to understand what’s happening in your compute programs.

There are a number of other smaller fixes in there too, so be sure and hop over to the releases page on GitHub where there’s a more complete list.

Radeon Developer Panel

Not much has changed in the panel, although we did fix a bug where the panel would sometimes hang on exit under certain conditions. Even though we didn’t do too much with the panel, a small amount of love is love nonetheless ❤️
