Hi and welcome.
I'm Giselle Gomez from Intel here
to tell you about the latest Intel GPA news and updates.
The 2019 Dot 3 release has added multiple features
to Graphics Frame Analyzer, Trace Analyzer,
and the new Intel GPA SDK.
For this release, we've made the UI scalable with small, medium,
and large scales across all tools,
improved the functionality of multiframe view
with additional navigation and capture features,
enabled a new resource view mode in Graphics Frame Analyzer,
implemented parallel event execution for GPU events
in Graphics Trace Analyzer, and continued
the development of the Intel GPA SDK feature set.
To begin, Intel GPA has added the possibility
of scaling the UI of any tool in the Tool Suite.
Using the Settings button in any tool,
select the UI scale size to make all UI elements
and fonts smaller or larger depending on your preference.
Each tool has its own UI scale that is independent
of other tools, allowing you to set each tool
size individually.
Secondly, our team has added a new event tractor
Graphics Trace Analyzer, Parallel Event Execution.
This track takes parallelization into account,
showing a more accurate timeline of when a GPO event begins
and ends its execution.
To view any parallel GPU work for your application,
take a trace capture through Graphics Monitor
by selecting the Trace button and selecting
the appropriate API from the dropdown.
Use the Control Shift T shortcut to trigger the trace capture.
This feature is only available for DirectX 11 applications.
Graphics Frame Analyzer has also received
a boost in functionality with a new view mode for resources
in the resource viewer.
When applying experiments in Graphics Frame Analyzer,
the tool provides a Diff View of the selected resource.
This view is the visual difference
between the original resource and the resource associated
with an applied change.
To turn on the Diff View Mode, navigate to the View Mode
dropdown in the Resource Viewer of Graphics Frame Analyzer.
Select Diff Mode from the available options
to reveal a view of the resource that
shows only the affected regions from the original rendered
target.
With the implementation of this feature,
you can now see both the performance
and visual impact of any experiment on the resource.
In addition to the Diff View Mode,
Graphics Frame Analyzer received a functionality boost
to the multiframe view.
In this release, we have included the ability
to collect system wide time-based
metrics during stream capture.
With these metrics enabled, new tracks
will appear in multiframe view below the frame selection
track that add context for the system at capture time.
To view time based metrics and multiframe view, go to Settings
in Graphics Monitor and turn on the system
wide time-based GPU metrics button under the Metrics tab.
Metrics will now be automatically collected
during stream captures.
We have also made it possible to capture screenshots
while taking a stream.
Screenshots allow you to preview a frame of timeline view
and as a full size image when a frame is selected.
Enabling screenshots can be done by setting a frame or a time
interval for triggering the screenshot under the stream tab
in Graphics Monitor settings.
Once enabled, knowing where you are within a stream
is as easy as hovering over a frame in the timeline view.
Many of the features shown already
have also been added to Intel GPA SDK.
However, we've also developed capabilities
outside of the previously mentioned functionalities,
which include the ability to replay a range of callable,
for DirectX 12 streams, Vulkan pipeline
statistics and time-stamp query manager support,
and an event dispatch system to communicate
between decoupled systems, enabling
inter-layer communication.
Thank you for watching.
