AMD uProf is a performance analysis tool for applications running on Windows and Linux operating systems. It allows developers to understand and improve the runtime performance of their application.
AMD uProf offers the following functionalities:
- Performance Analysis (CPU Profile)
- To identify runtime performance bottlenecks of the application.
- System Analysis
- To monitor system performance metrics, such as IPC and memory bandwidth.
- Live Power Profile
- To monitor thermal and power characteristics of the system.
AMD uProf has the following user interfaces:
| Executable | Description | Supported OS |
|---|---|---|
| AMDuProf | GUI to perform CPU and Power Profile | Windows and Linux |
| AMDuProfCLI | CLI to perform CPU and Power Profile | Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD |
| AMDuProfPcm | CLI to perform System Analysis | Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD |
| AMDPerf/AMDuProfSys | CLI tool to perform System Analysis | Windows and Linux |
AMD uProf can effectively be used to:
- Analyze the performance of one or more processes/applications.
- Track down the performance bottlenecks in the source code.
- Identify ways to optimize the source code for better performance and power efficiency.
- Examine the behavior of kernels, drivers, and system modules.
- Observe system level thermal and power characteristics.
- Observe system metrics, such as IPC and memory bandwidth.
