| # Profiling |
| |
| IREE [benchmarking](./benchmarking.md) gives us an accurate and reproducible |
| view of program performance at specific levels of granularity. To analyze system |
| behavior in more depth, there are various ways to |
| [profile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profiling_(computer_programming)) IREE. |
| |
| ## Tracy |
| |
| Tracy is a profiler that's been used for a wide range of profiling tasks on |
| IREE. Refer to [profiling_with_tracy.md](./profiling_with_tracy.md). |
| |
| ## Vulkan GPU Profiling |
| |
| [Tracy](./profiling_with_tracy.md) offers great insights into CPU/GPU |
| interactions and Vulkan API usage details. However, information at a finer |
| granularity, especially inside a particular shader dispatch, is missing. To |
| supplement general purpose tools like Tracy, vendor-specific tools can be used. |
| Refer to [profiling_vulkan_gpu.md](./profiling_vulkan_gpu.md). |
| |
| ## CPU cache and other CPU event profiling |
| |
| For some advanced CPU profiling needs such as querying CPU cache and other |
| events, one may need to use some OS-specific profilers. See |
| [profiling_cpu_events.md](./profiling_cpu_events.md). |
