I am trying to profile one debuggable app with Streamline tool, but I don't know how to configure OpenCL mode. My device is vivo Pad 3 pro, with GPU Mali Immortalis-G720.
In OpenCL-mode, there are two limitations to use OpenCL mode:
dumpsys | grep GLES
3. According to https://community.arm.com/support-forums/f/ai-and-ml-forum/52716/opencl-profiling-for-mali-gpu, I have tried to create config file and place it to the same directory as the application profiled,.But when I ran Streamline to profile the app, it didn't capture any data about OpenCL.
All I'd like to know is if OpenCL mode supports Immortalis-G720? If it does, how should I do? Btw, if ther is any other way to profile OpenCL kernel excuting on Mali GPU ?
Thanks a lot.
ok Thank you still. I still have no clue so far. I think the Android kernel needs to enable options such as debugging and printing. And GPU drivers need to be installed. But do not directly overwrite the GPU driver for mobile phones. Can it be turned on.
Just to be clear, there are two different methods:
For older devices with the Job Manager (Mali-G78 and older) the "OpenCL Timeline" exists, and gives you kernel name. This requires some debug options to enable, and is really designed for device manufacturers with access to driver builds, it is not generally accessible on consumer handsets with release drivers.
For newer devices with the Command Stream Frontend (Mali-G710 onwards), the OpenCL Timeline mechanism no longer exists. The Mali timeline that you found is the replacement for this, but workload boxes are currently anonymous without kernel name. We are looking at adding this back, but it's not available yet.
Kind regards, Pete
