Simple profiler scopes for wgpu using timer queries

Features

  • Easy to use profiler scopes
    • Allows nesting!
    • Can be disabled by runtime flag
    • Additionally generates debug markers
  • Internally creates pools of timer queries automatically
    • Does not need to know in advance how many queries/profiling scopes are needed
    • Caches up profiler-frames until results are available
      • No stalling of the device at any time!
  • Many profiler instances can live side by side
  • chrome trace flamegraph json export

TODO:

  • Better error messages
  • Disable via feature flag

How to use

Create a new profiler object:

use wgpu_profiler::{wgpu_profiler, GpuProfiler};
// ...
let mut profiler = GpuProfiler::new(4, adapter.get_timestamp_period()); // buffer up to 4 frames

Using scopes is easiest with the macro:

wgpu_profiler!("name of your scope", &mut profiler, &mut encoder, &device, {
  // wgpu commands go here
});

Unless you disable timer scoping (wgpu_profile will still emit debug scopes), your wgpu device needs wgpu::Features::TIMESTAMP_QUERY enabled.

Wgpu-profiler needs to insert buffer copy commands, so when you're done with an encoder and won't do any more profiling scopes on it, you need to resolve the queries:

profiler.resolve_queries(&mut encoder);

And finally, to end a profiling frame, call end_frame. This does a few checks and will let you know of something is off!

profiler.end_frame().unwrap();

Retrieving the oldest available frame and writing it out to a chrome trace file.

if let Some(profiling_data) = profiler.process_finished_frame() {
    // You usually want to write to disk only under some condition, e.g. press of a key or button
    wgpu_profiler::chrometrace::write_chrometrace(Path::new("mytrace.json"), profiling_data);
}
