What is IntelliKit?

IntelliKit is a collection of Python tools to help you analyze and improve the performance of AMD hardware. It works with ROCm to turn data like hardware counters and traces into easy-to-use Python APIs. For host-side CPU hotspot analysis, the toolkit includes uprof_mcp, which integrates AMD uProf. Additionally, IntelliKit supports LLM-style workflows by providing MCP servers and agent skills, enabling you to use installable SKILL.md playbooks with platforms such as Cursor, Claude, Codex, and GitHub Copilot.

The following table lists all IntelliKit tools, their roles, and functionalities:

Tool	Role	Description
Kerncap	Isolate	Captures kernel dispatches and builds standalone reproducers for HIP and Triton code.
Metrix	Profile	Translates hardware counter data into human-readable metrics like bandwidth, cache, and compute performance.
Linex	Profile	Maps GPU performance to your source code, and analyzes source-line timing and stalls.
Nexus	Inspect	Intercepts HSA packets to reveal what ran on the GPU, including assembly code and HIP source details.
Accordo	Validate	Confirms that optimized kernels produce the same results as their reference implementations.
ROCm MCP	MCP	Provides HIP compiler, documentation, and rocminfo servers for LLM agents.
uProf MCP	CPU	Bridges AMD uProf for host-side CPU hotspot analysis.
