Meaning of performance counters (OpenGL) ?

When I run GL_AMD_performance_monitor functions, it returns almost a hundred of counter groups and more than 7000 counter names.

But their names are pretty user-unfriendly (e.g, CP_000, TCP2_001...), so I can't guess their purpose. I read extension spec and "R6xx/R7xx Register Reference Guide", but they didn't help.

What's the meaning of the performance counters ?

hi,

AMD currently documents a limited set of the performance counters; you can contact devrel in order to get more information.

I'd also love to see some documentation for some of these counters. For me, just some hints about some of them would suffice.

Regards, frax

GPU PerfStudio 2.1 has just been made available and adds support for DX11 and OpenGL 3.0. Please take a look at the Frame Profiler to get a lot of performance information.
