Changelog for ROCm Systems Profiler

Full documentation for ROCm Systems Profiler is available at https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocprofiler-systems/en/latest/.

ROCm Systems Profiler 1.2.0 for ROCm 7.1

Added

• ROCPROFSYS_ROCM_GROUP_BY_QUEUE configuration setting to allow grouping of events by hardware queue, instead of the default grouping.
• Support for rocPD database output with the ROCPROFSYS_USE_ROCPD configuration setting.

Changed

• Updated the grouping of "kernel dispatch" and "memory copy" events in Perfetto traces. They are now grouped together by HIP Stream rather than separately and by hardware queue.

ROCm Systems Profiler 1.1.0 for ROCm 7.0

Added

• Profiling and metric collection capabilities for VCN engine activity, JPEG engine activity, and API tracing for rocDecode, rocJPEG, and VA-APIs.
• How-to document for VCN and JPEG activity sampling and tracing.
• Support for tracing Fortran applications.
• Support for tracing MPI API in Fortran.

Changed

• Replaced ROCm SMI backend with AMD SMI backend for collecting GPU metrics.
• ROCprofiler-SDK is now used to trace RCCL API and collect communication counters.
  • Use the setting ROCPROFSYS_USE_RCCLP = ON to enable profiling and tracing of RCCL application data.
• Updated the Dyninst submodule to v13.0.
• Set the default value of ROCPROFSYS_SAMPLING_CPUS to none.

Resolved issues

• Fixed GPU metric collection settings with ROCPROFSYS_AMD_SMI_METRICS.
• Fixed a build issue with CMake 4.
• Fixed incorrect kernel names shown for kernel dispatch tracks in Perfetto.
• Fixed formatting of some output logs.
• Fixed an issue where ROC-TX ranges were displayed as two separate events instead of a single spanning event.

ROCm Systems Profiler 1.0.2 for ROCm 6.4.2

Optimized

• Improved readability of the OpenMP target offload traces by showing on a single Perfetto track.

Resolved issues

• Fixed the file path to the script that merges Perfetto files from multi-process MPI runs. The script has also been renamed from merge-multiprocess-output.sh to rocprof-sys-merge-output.sh.

ROCm Systems Profiler 1.0.1 for ROCm 6.4.1

Added

• How-to document for network performance profiling for standard Network Interface Cards (NICs).

Resolved issues

• Fixed a build issue with Dyninst on GCC 13.

ROCm Systems Profiler 1.0.0 for ROCm 6.4.0

Added

• Support for VA-API and rocDecode tracing.

• Aggregation of MPI data collected across distributed nodes and ranks. The data is concatenated into a single proto file.

Changed

• Backend refactored to use ROCprofiler-SDK rather than ROCProfiler and ROCTracer.

Resolved issues

• Fixed hardware counter summary files not being generated after profiling.

• Fixed an application crash when collecting performance counters with ROCProfiler.

• Fixed interruption in config file generation.

• Fixed segmentation fault while running rocprof-sys-instrument.

• Fixed an issue where running rocprof-sys-causal or using the -I all option with rocprof-sys-sample caused the system to become non-responsive.

• Fixed an issue where sampling multi-GPU Python workloads caused the system to stop responding.

ROCm Systems Profiler 0.1.1 for ROCm 6.3.2

Resolved issues

• Fixed an error when building from source on some SUSE and RHEL systems when using the ROCPROFSYS_BUILD_DYNINST option.

ROCm Systems Profiler 0.1.0 for ROCm 6.3.1

Added

• Improvements to support OMPT target offload.

Resolved issues

• Fixed an issue with generated Perfetto files.

• Fixed an issue with merging multiple .proto files.

• Fixed an issue causing GPU resource data to be missing from traces of Instinct MI300A systems.

• Fixed a minor issue for users upgrading to ROCm 6.3 from 6.2 post-rename from omnitrace.

ROCm Systems Profiler 0.1.0 for ROCm 6.3.0

Changed

• Renamed Omnitrace to ROCm Systems Profiler.

Omnitrace 1.11.2 for ROCm 6.2.1

Known issues

• Perfetto can no longer open Omnitrace proto files. Loading the Perfetto trace output .proto file in ui.perfetto.dev can result in a dialog with the message, "Oops, something went wrong! Please file a bug." The information in the dialog will refer to an "Unknown field type." The workaround is to open the files with the previous version of the Perfetto UI found at https://ui.perfetto.dev/v46.0-35b3d9845/#!/.
