Mali GPU Performance Analysis Tool 2.2

Mali GPU Performance Analysis Tool by Arm

The Mali GPU Performance Analysis Tool helps developers understand, profile, and optimize graphics and compute workloads on devices powered by Arm Mali GPUs. It collects and visualizes GPU hardware counters and timing data across the graphics pipeline—tiler, shader cores, and memory system—so you can pinpoint bottlenecks, improve frame times, and reduce power consumption.

Key capabilities:

• GPU profiling and visualization: Inspect GPU timelines, queue activity, and per-stage utilization to see where time is spent.
• API coverage: Analyze Vulkan and OpenGL ES workloads, including frame, pass, and draw/dispatch breakdowns.
• Bottleneck detection: Identify overdraw, bandwidth pressure, long fragment/compute shaders, pipeline stalls, and state-change inefficiencies.
• Shader insights: Review compilation statistics and usage metrics to guide shader simplification or rebalancing.
• System correlation: Align GPU events with CPU activity and threads to uncover synchronization issues and CPU-GPU imbalance.
• Power and thermal awareness: Track frequency scaling and energy-related counters where the device exposes them.
• Actionable reports: Generate summaries and recommendations that translate counter data into practical optimization steps.
• Device-first workflow: Connect to real Android or Linux targets with Mali GPUs; low-overhead data capture designed for iterative tuning.
• Toolchain integration: Works alongside Arm’s Mobile Studio tooling for end-to-end performance analysis.

Who it’s for:

• Game and engine developers targeting Mali-based Android or embedded platforms
• Graphics and performance engineers seeking to maximize FPS, stability, and battery life
• Teams building continuous performance testing into their CI pipelines

With clear visualizations, concrete guidance, and support for modern graphics APIs, the Mali GPU Performance Analysis Tool enables faster diagnosis and resolution of GPU performance problems—helping you deliver smoother, more efficient experiences on Arm-based devices.
