NEW, AMD uProf 5.2 is now available (December 11, 2025)

AMD uProf (“MICRO-prof”) is a performance analysis tool-suite for x86 based applications running on Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD operating systems. It provides performance metrics for AMD “Zen”-based processors and AMD Instinct™ MI Series accelerators. AMD uProf enables developers better understand performance bottlenecks, optimization scope, and evaluate improvements.

AMD uProf Features

• Performance Analysis - Identify runtime performance bottlenecks in applications
• System Analysis – Monitor system-level performance metrics
• Power Profiling – Track thermal and power characteristics of the system
• Remote Profiling – Connect to remote Linux systems from a Windows host, initiate data collection and translation on the remote system, and view results in the local GUI
• Analyze workload behavior, thread concurrency, and system-wide performance
• Detect hotspots and micro-architectural issues in source code
• Visualize GPU and heterogeneous application behavior on MI systems

What’s New in AMD uProf 5.2

• New AMD processor support:  STX-Halo, KRK1 and KRK2
• Wait Object Analysis on Linux with Threading config
• Python (v3.10) Application Profiling support for “Attach to Process” and Launch application – Through Hotspots config
• Source level attribution for Python Profiling using Hotspots config
• Support for C++ inline functions on Windows OS
• Added support for AMD Instrumentation and Tracing Technology API support for “Event” APIs
• Thread Timeline views to show CPU Utilization every 10 ms
• Enhanced GUI to support re-sizing of columns in various views, sort columns by ascending/descending order, hide/un-hide columns, and re-arrange the columns
• Enhanced tooltips in custom config, column names in views,  All Thread and Per-Thread Timeline
• Support for “start delay” in PCM’s CLI options
• Support for OpenMP Spec 5.1, 5.2, and 6.0
