When I run the Intel® GPA System Analyzer HUD or the Intel® GPA Frame Analyzer, I see “Warning: Unsupported GPU in target system.  Please consult the documentation for supported system configurations.  GPA will attempt to run, but may encounter errors.  Do you wish to continue?

The monitor is running on a target machine with an unsupported GPU, such as a non-Intel GPU.

See the Intel GPA Release Notes for a list of supported GPUs.

I see a “The application being profiled has exited” warning.

The target application was closed, or it crashed.

 

Run a new experiment with the Intel GPA System Analyzer HUD to profile the application again.

I see an “Instrumented driver is not installed” error.

The Intel GPA Monitor is running on a PC without the Intel instrumented graphics drivers.

Install the latest Intel instrumented graphics drivers.

I see a “The application is not a Microsoft DirectX* program, so the frame cannot be captured” error.

The target application is not a Microsoft DirectX* program. The Intel® GPA software does not support capturing frames from non-DirectX* programs (such as OpenGL*).

Profile a Microsoft DirectX* application.

The application or code protection technique preventing from instrumentation.

When I launch an application with the Intel® GPA Platform Analyzer or the Intel® GPA Frame Analyzer, I see a “Failed to launch application” error.
