AMD μProf

NEW, AMD uProf 5.1 is now available (June 09, 2025)

AMD uProf (“MICRO-prof”) is a performance analysis tool-suite for x86 based applications running on Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD operating systems. It provides performance metrics for AMD “Zen”-based processors and AMD Instinct™ MI Series accelerators. AMD uProf enables developers better understand performance bottlenecks, optimization scope, and evaluate improvements.

AMD uProf Offers:

• Performance Analysis – to identify runtime performance bottlenecks of the application.
• System Analysis – to monitor system performance metrics.
• Power Profiling – to monitor thermal and power characteristics of the system.
• Remote Profiling – to connect to remote Linux systems (from a Windows host system), trigger collection/translation of data on the remote system and report it in local GUI.

AMD uProf can effectively be used to:

• Identify runtime bottlenecks with detailed performance analysis.
• Monitor system performance metrics.
• Track thermal and power characteristics via Power Profiling.
• Profile remote Linux systems from a Windows host via GUI.
• Analyze workload behavior, thread concurrency, and system-wide performance.
• Detect hotspots and micro-architectural issues in source code.
• Visualize GPU and heterogeneous application behavior on MI systems.

What’s New in AMD uProf 5.1

• New AMD processor support: GraniteRidge X3D, Raphael X3D, Ryzen EPYC X3D 4004, and Ryzen EPYC 4004/4005
• New OS Support: Windows Server 2025 and Windows 11 24H2
• AMDuProfPCM – Added “profile” command to generate CSV and HTML reports for Timeseries, cumulative and roofline data
• AMDuProfPCM - New CLI options “--collect-host” and “--collect-guest” for monitoring host and guest metrics from the host system
• OMP and MPI Tracing: Display OMP Parallel region instance execution count
• GPU profiling and Tracing: supports ROCm up to 6.3.3
• GUI: Show Profiling overhead, Timeline Improvements

For a complete list of features added in this release, refer to the release notes.

AMDuProfPcm
