[RFE] RCP manual profiler triggers / tracing instrumentation about radeon_compute_profiler HOT 2 CLOSED

Hs pszi1ard,

We have GPUPerfAPI which is our library for collecting GPU performance counters (this library is used by RCP). Take a look here: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Tools/GPA

For instumenting/annotating host-code check out https://github.com/GPUOpen-Tools/common-src-AMDTActivityLogger. This library, header file and documentation is included in the RCP releases. You can use this library to annotate your host code -- any markers added by this library will appear in the CodeXL timeline UI when visualizing an .atp file produced by RCP.

For RCP documentation itself, the best place to look is the CodeXL documentation: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Tools/CodeXL/blob/master/CodeXL/Help/CodeXL%20User%20Guide/GPU%20Profiler.docx. We plan to provide proper documentation in RCP itself in a future release.

Hi pszi1ard,

The RCP 5.3 release now includes proper documentation. The .zip and .tgz files included here https://github.com/GPUOpen-Tools/RCP/releases/tag/v5.3 have Sphinx-based documentation in the "docs" directory. Simply open the index.html in a web browser to view.

The documentation source is available here: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Tools/RCP/tree/master/docs.

Information on building the documentation from source code can be found here: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Tools/RCP/blob/master/BUILD.md#building-the-documentation.
