Check Mali GPU usage

Note: This was originally posted on 28th January 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi,

I am working on Nexus-10 about Android Renderscript
Is there anybody to tell me how I can see the usage of T604 Mali GPU?
Currently, only DS-5 is available to profile GPU ? or there is other tool?

Thank you in advance

    Hello McGeagh,
    That's a very good news. in fact we have a multilayer UI on android and we try to see the smoothness of the ui. we are comapring the same application on different GPUs ( mainly adreno vivante and mali) it seems that the adreno gives better results than the mp400 on this test., that's why we want to see if the overload happens on the gpu or not and if it is the case what's the bottlneck (cache misses or mem bandwidth or simply architectural issue ex :  not supporting overlays) so any information which can help  is more than welcome.
    Thanks

    Hello nfstry,

    In addition to my previous response, you can get 'some' features of streamline working with just the kernel patches applied.
    So it depends on what kind of features you are after, which will dictate whether just applying kernel side patches will be sufficient.
    If you are interested in this, please let us know, and we can look into the best way to provide the appropriate kernel side patches for your device.
