Dear Devgurus,
Currently I am working with AMD Kaveri A10 7850K and I am trying to run some comparative benchmarks on it.
My OS is Ubuntu 14.04, I have set up it for Aparapi Lambda. and done some CPU profiling. However since Linux kfd uses radeon driver
I am not able to use CodeXL for GPU profiling.
Could you please suggest me any tools/software compatible with Kaveri and that can run on Ubuntu?
Mainly I would like to get information about GPU loading ( frequency || clock ).
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
you are using open source driver? then only tool I can think of is https://github.com/clbr/radeontop
oh and GL_AMD_performance_monitor should be available for mesa too.

AFAIK, radeon doesn't support performance counters at the moment.
You can see the current GPU clocks and voltages via debugfs:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/64/radeon_pm_info
Note that the clocks are in 10Khz units.

Thank you for your response!
I checked out radeontop and it woks well with Kaveri. This kind of information is quite enough for me.
For radeontop I pulled it from git and built by myself, the version you get with apt-get install does not work.
A small reference if you will build it:
install libdrm-dev
install libpciaccess-dev
install libncurses5-dev
then you can proceed with build.
For the cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/64/radeon_pm_info - it gives the GPU clocks, no wrongs.
