ROC-tracer

Important

We are phasing out development and support for roctracer/rocprofiler/rocprof/rocprofv2 in favor of rocprofiler-sdk/rocprofv3 in upcoming ROCm releases. Going forward, only critical defect fixes will be addressed for older versions of profiling tools and libraries. We encourage all users to upgrade to the latest version, rocprofiler-sdk library and rocprofv3 tool, to ensure continued support and access to new features.

Note

The published documentation is available at ROCTracer in an organized, easy-to-read format, with search and a table of contents.

• ROC-tracer library: Runtimes Generic Callback/Activity APIs

  The goal of the implementation is to provide a generic independent from specific runtime profiler to trace API and asynchronous activity.

  The API provides functionality for registering the runtimes API callbacks and asynchronous activity records pool support.

• ROC-TX library: Code Annotation Events API

  Includes API for:

  • roctxMark
  • roctxRangePush
  • roctxRangePop

Usage

rocTracer API

To use the rocTracer API you need the API header and to link your application with roctracer .so library:

• /opt/rocm/include/roctracer/roctracer.h

  API header.

• /opt/rocm/lib/libroctracer64.so

  .so library.

rocTX API

To use the rocTX API you need the API header and to link your application with roctx .so library:

• /opt/rocm/include/roctracer/roctx.h

  API header.

• /opt/rocm/lib/libroctx64.so

  .so library.
