AMD μProf 3.0

[Stefan]

AMD uProf is a performance analysis tool for applications running on Windows and Linux operating systems. It allows developers to better understand the runtime performance of their application and to identify ways to improve its performance.
AMD uProf offers:

   
• Performance Analysis
  
        
  • CPU Profiling – to identify runtime performance bottlenecks of the application.
• Energy Analysis
  
        
  • Power Application Analysis – to identify energy hotspots in the application (Windows only).
• Power Profiling
  
        
  • System-wide Power Profiling – to monitor the thermal and power characteristics of the system.
• System Analysis
  
        
  • Performance Counter Monitor utility – to monitor system performance metrics (Linux & FreeBSD only)

AMD uProf can effectively be used to:

   
• Analyze the performance of one or more processes or the entire system
• Track down the performance bottlenecks (hotspots & micro-architecture) in the source code
• Identify ways to optimize the source code for better performance and power efficiency
• Examine the behavior of kernel, drivers and system modules
• Analyze Thread concurrency
• Observe frequency, thermal and power characteristics (Power profiling)
• Observe system metrics like IPC, Core effective frequency, memory bandwidth, etc.
