Say hello to some of the latest improvements for the Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers (Intel® GPA) tool suite and Intel® GPA Framework.
All Tools
-
Added support for Intel® Core™ Ultra desktop processors (Series 2) (formerly code named Arrow Lake).
Graphics Frame Analyzer
Buffer Layout editor
- We have enhanced the buffer layout editor, added syntax help and the ability to save buffer layout to a file.
-
Added the ability to save and load custom buffer formats and easily switch between them.
System Analyzer and Graphics Trace Analyzer
NPU Utilization
Added NPU Utilization metric in System Analyzer and Graphics Trace Analyzer, aiming to help you understand how much the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) is utilized by any application on the device. NPU are integrated into Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 1) and Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2).
Intel® GPA Framework
- Added support for D3D12 Enhanced Barriers.
- Added a filter function to the logging layer that enables users to remove unnecessary calls from the output. This feature can be useful for crash analysis, particularly in verbose mode, which prints function arguments and API object pointers. It can help track the lifetime of APIs—when they are created/destroyed and where they are still being referenced.
gpa-injector.exe --layer --layer logging:log-filter=<custom filter json file> <target app>
Refer to Intel GPA Framework documentation for more information.
- Added support for Vulkan* SDK version 1.3.296.0.
