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.

System Analysis Performance Counter Monitor utility – to monitor system performance metrics

Power Profiling System-wide Power Profiling – to monitor thermal and power characteristics of the system.

Energy Analysis Power Application Analysis – to identify energy hotspots in the application (Windows 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.

What’s New

New profile types to analyze HPC applications Profiling OpenMP applications (Linux) Profiling MPI applications (Linux)

Cache Analysis to identify potential false sharing cache lines (Linux)

AMDuProfPcm based System Analysis support on Windows

Support for Linux kernel profiling when kernel debug info is available

Faster raw profile data processing

Simplified and faster default report generation by the CLI

New platform support Support for AMD Family 17h Model 60h processors

New GUI features Heatmap visualization in SOURCE view for easier navigation to hot source lines Improvements in ANALYSIS view Easier locating of recently profiled configurations from WELCOME page Simplified Windows Symbol Server settings Navigation from Callgraph to SOURCE view for functions having self-samples

Performance Analysis

AMD uProf profiler follows a statistical sampling-based approach to collect profile data to identify the performance bottlenecks in the application. The profile data collection can be triggered by – OS timer, core PMC events and IBS. AMD uProf offers user friendly UI to view and analyze the profile data thereby helps to optimize wide variety of applications, drivers, game engines etc.
