Introduction to the Intel® GPA Platform Analyzer
The Intel® GPA Platform Analyzer visualizes the execution profile of the various tasks in your code over time. The Intel® GPA Monitor collects real-time trace data during the application run and saves it to a trace capture file. The Intel® GPA Platform Analyzer opens this file and provides a system-wide picture of:
- how your code executes on software and hardware threads
- how your code works with Intel® Media SDK and Microsoft* DXVA2 and how media-related workloads execute on various CPU and GPU cores in your system
The tool infrastructure automatically aligns clocks across all cores in the entire system so that you can analyze CPU-based workloads together with GPU-based workloads within a unified time domain.
With the Intel® GPA Platform Analyzer you can:
- load one or several trace capture files
- trace data
- define where the majority of time is being spent
- define why the task is longer in duration than you expect
- analyze a media performance trace capture file
- view the trace capture file information
