Graphic profilers

Let's start with AMD CodeXL. I know, we had that one already, but as already stated, CodeXL is much more than a simple sampling CPU profiler. On AMD processors, it can additionally use hardware support for event profiling, instruction-based sampling, and sophisticated power analysis. It can debug C++ code, OpenCL, and OpenGL API calls, as well as OpenCL kernels. It supports frame and shader analysis, and it can profile GPU usage. It is a comprehensive graphic profiler tool oriented toward AMD hardware.

Intel Graphics Performance Analyzers (Intel GPA) is a game and graphic performance analyzer, and it is oriented toward Intel hardware, and is free as well. It shows CPU, GPU, Graphics API, and power metrics in real time, supports ...
