One simple question: How to use CodeXL in VS2010 plugin

I tried open an solution of APP SDK sample, Gaussian noise. Right now, I click the CodeXL from the main menu and choose the Start CodeXL Debugging. It runs but where can I see the profiling data of GPU? Thanks.

Hi,

By default, CodeXL will be in Debug mode.

I think you are looking for GPU profiling.

For this, you need to do the following:

1. Load any sample (Gaussian noise in your case).

2. Click on "CodeXL -> Profile Mode" in VS2010

3. Again, click on "CodeXL-> GPU Application Trace" in VS2010 [Assuming you want to check the API trace]

4. Click on "CodeXL -> Start profiling".

Once application run complete, CodeXL will generate Application trace data.

Please go through the "Quick start guide". This is very informative for beginners. 

It is present at "CodeXL -> Help -> View Quick start Guide" in VS.

Thanks,
