ROCm Optiq provides deep insights into system-level performance for applications running on the ROCm stack.

It serves as the GUI for visualizing traces collected by ROCm profiling tools, specifically ROCm Systems Profiler, enabling developers to analyze traces, identify bottlenecks, optimize workloads, and efficiently scale applications across CPUs and GPUs.

The component public repository is located at ROCm/roc-optiq.

Note

ROCm Optiq is in beta. Running production workloads is not recommended.

  • Summary View: Displays the top ten kernels by execution time using pie charts, bar charts, or tables.

  • Minimap: Provides a compact overview of event density and counter values across the entire trace, enabling rapid navigation of large datasets.

Changed#

  • Timeline View: Improved navigation and selection. Added context menu option to create a time range filter from a selected event or events.

  • Advanced Details Panel: Aggregate by Column drop-down groups the results by the selected column. Options to size columns to fit in Event Table and Sample Table. Event Details now shows the function call’s arguments, if available.
