What is GL_AMD_shader_trace?

Hello,

I see GL_AMD_shader_trace in my extensions, but didn't found any info for it.

Does anyone know what it is?

GL_AMD_shader_trace is an extension that can be used for profiling. It streams information about the execution of shaders into buffer objects. Our tools use it for analysis. We haven't published the actual extension spec publicly. We may, but the actual format of the data recorded into the buffer is proprietary and we probably won't be able to document it in a meaningful way.
