Frame Analysis

CodeXL Frame Analysis allows the developer to generate an API Trace with CPU side timing data and a GPU Trace with GPU side timing data. Both sets of data are displayed in a unified timeline which quickly allows the user to identify expensive GPU executions and the CPU side API calls which generate them. CodeXL allows you capture one or more frames from your running application and the captures are automatically saved to disk. The captured frames can be inspected offline using the CodeXL client (your application does not need to be running).

There are 4 stages to viewing the API and GPU trace data from your application.

1.     Creating a New Project

2.     Starting Your Application

3.     Capturing Frames

4.     Viewing Capture Data
