Say hello to some of the latest improvements for the Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers (Intel® GPA) tool suite and Intel® GPA Framework.
Graphics Frame Analyzer
Expanded Support for non-PSO states
In the Resources Pane you can modify non-PSO states like Shading Rate, Blend Factor, Viewport and Scissor Rect and immediately see the corresponding performance results.
Progress Indication for Exporting Metrics
Exporting metrics to a CSV file, especially for heavy workloads, can be time-consuming. To inform users of the export progress, we've implemented a progress indicator.
Updated Metrics List Presets
The popup menu for Metrics lists Presets has been updated for better usability. User profiles are now clearly separated from system profiles, making it easier to navigate and select your preferred presets.
Intel® GPA Framework
Shader ISA source code extraction for DirectX* 12 and DirectX* 11 applications
The GetShaderSource() function of the Metadata Extractor class now enables extraction of shader ISA code. Passing the constant api_types::GPA_SHADER_LANGUAGE_ISA to the requestedLanguage parameter, will return the shader ISA code through the source output parameter. Ensure to update your graphics divers to access the latest support.
auto const& shaderInfo = pipelineInfo->ppShaderInfos[0];
ShaderSource source;
metadataExtractor.GetShaderSource(*shaderInfo, GPA_SHADER_LANGUAGE_ISA, source);
cout << source.pFiles[0].pContent;
