GPU Profiler

Overview

GPU Profiler is mainly used to display the GPU time usage of the application, providing real-time frame-by-frame statistics for the main rendering categories.

Opening the GPU Profiler

Click Tool -> Profiler -> GPU Profiler (Ctrl+J) to open the GPU Profiler.

The GPU Profiler interface is shown below.

No.	Name	Description
1	Title Bar	Show host name and corresponding process.
2	Capture	Recapture information about time consuming of GPU rendering in all aspects.
3	Show Hotspots	View detailed information about time consuming of GPU rendering in all aspects.
4	GPU Profiling Panel	Time consuming of GPU rendering in all aspects.

GPU Profiling Panel

The GPU Profiling Panel outlines the breakdown of the time spent by the application within the captured frame in the form of timelines and graphics.

The GPU Profiling Panel displays timelines of the captured frame length and its hierarchical time data, where you can view the breakdown of contributions.

Frame in this panel refers to the rendering time of a frame cycle, where DrawProjectionScene and DrawNormalSceneTexture represent the rendering time of a scene, SolidBatches represents the time consuming of a certain section in the rendering process, and terminal leaf nodes such as RenderMaterialShadowMap, etc. represent the time consuming of a rendering feature.

Here are the details of the GPU Profiling Panel.

Name	Description
Frame	Total time consuming of the current frame
DrawProjectionScene	Draw projection scenes
DrawNormalSceneTexture	Render the deferred shaded scenes to maps
DrawNormalScene	Draw normal scenes
