Thread Trace Part 1: ROCprof Compute Viewer
- 15 September 2026
Once you have identified a GPU kernel to optimize, you need to understand how its instructions execute and where waves spend time waiting. Thread trace gives you a detailed view of that behavior, helping you investigate stalls, gaps in execution, and competition for hardware resources.
RDC and RocProfiler Compared to DCGM for Commonly Used Metrics
- 07 July 2026
Modern GPU applications often need lightweight, repeatable performance checks that can run outside a full profiling session. A developer might want to confirm whether a workload is throttling, whether data is moving across GPU interconnects as expected, whether ECC counters are increasing, or whether the GPU is spending enough time on useful compute work. These checks are especially useful during application tuning, cluster validation, and regression testing.
