More Information
Summary:Techniques to sort events of a graphics workload executed by a graphics processing unit to provide identification of events, that if addressed, may result in an improvement in performance are disclosed. The techniques can include: generating a signature and a weight for each event of a graphics workload; generating an event priority tree by organizing the events into parent and leaf nodes, where parent nodes comprise leaf nodes having a shared hash; and sorting frames based on a global weight of events corresponding to the frames.
