Intel API to get GPU activity for Intel Arc Graphics card

SindhuTN — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 04:40:01 GMT

I'm working in an c# windows application where it will show Discrete card related info like GPU activity, GPU fan and temperature parameters etc. For NVIDIA , AMD, we have NVAPI and ATL. But for Intel, I'm not aware.

For Intel arc card, I could get parameters like memory size, GPU fan, temperature from Intel IGCL . But for GPU activity and memory activity, OpenCL usageI could not find suitable method/struct in it.

Is there any other c++ API available that provides these details? or any low level APIs?

if anybody knows about this!

Previously for integrated graphics, there is a struct named D3DKMT_ESCAPE where it would return parameter values for video usage, open CL usage, GPU activity etc. Since Intel stopped supporting D3DKMT_ESCAPE and Intel Arc card being new, I could not find them.

What I try to get is, g->PStateUtil_GPU = pDynamicPStatesInfo.utilization[0].percentage; --> returns GPU activity percent for NVIDIA card. I want to get similar value for Intel

Hello SindhuTN,

Thank you for posting in the Intel Communities. We understand that you are currently designing an application that will show Discrete card-related information, but you are unable to get parameters for GPU activity and memory activity. Based on the information you have shared, we invite you to open the question in our Developer Software Forum since you will find more suitable support for your question there.

Best regards

Jean O.

Hi Jean,

Thanks for responding!

I already raised this question in Developer Forum, link is here,

Not sure that I posted this in the right space!

Thanks,
