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

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.
