The AMD uProf profiler offers live power profiling to monitor the behavior of the systems based on AMD CPUs and APUs. It provides various counters to monitor power and thermal characteristics.
These counters are collected from various resources such as RAPL and MSRs. They are collected at regular time intervals and either reported as a text file or plotted as line graphs. They can also be saved into the database for future analysis.
Features
- GUI to configure and monitor the supported power metrics.
- TIMECHART page to monitor and analyze:
-
- Logical Core level metrics – Core Effective Frequency and P-State
- Physical Core level metrics – RAPL based Core Power
- Package level metrics – RAPL based Package Power and Temperature
- AMDuProfCLI timechart command to collect system metrics and write into a text file or comma-separated-value (CSV) file.
- API library to configure and collect the supported system level performance, thermal, and power metrics of AMD CPU/APUs.
- Store the collected live profile data in the database for future analysis.
