What is Intel GPA, and why would I want to use it?
Intel GPA is a customizable suite of software tools that provides an in-depth analysis of a game or graphics application, allowing developers to quickly and efficiently pinpoint bottlenecks and optimize their games for Intel® Integrated Graphics–based PCs. Intel GPA works side-by-side with the game in its normal environment, gathering detailed metrics and performing experiments without developers needing to use special drivers or modifying their code. Therefore, Intel GPA can help developers ensure their games play well on a broader range of PCs (especially mobile gaming platforms), allowing them to reach new customers.
Intel GPA is a powerful, agile tool suite enabling game developers to utilize the full performance potential of Intel® CPU and Integrated Graphics systems, including new Intel® Core™ and Intel® HD Graphics-based systems. Intel GPA visualizes performance data from your application, allowing you to understand where in the system and in individual frames cycles are being spent, and enabling you to perform ‘what-if’ experiments to estimate potential performance gains from optimizations. Optimizing your code for Intel® Integrated Graphics and CPU’s increases the potential of game title sales to the ever-increasing desktop mainstream and mobile gaming spaces.
