How to see ISA in Graphics frame analyzer

Kutdusov__Ruslan — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 07:31:55 GMT

Graphics Frame analyzer has checkbox with HLSL, DXBC and ISA options. When I select ISA it shows me

Source code is not available. You can add the code yourself.

Is there any way to see the ISA?

Hi Ruslan,

First of all, thank you for using Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers for your profiling and optimization needs. I'm sorry you're running into issues looking as your shader ISA. Could you first send me the About Info for your frame by copying the info from the icon in the top right corner. You can either copy this information or save it to a file and attach it to your response. Make sure you have the frame in question open so I get the details of it as well.

If you are playing the frame

If you are playing the frame capture back on Intel® hardware, the ISA should automatically be present when selecting it from the dropdown menu. Make sure you select Intel® hardware before opening the frame, as it is potentially defaulting to your AMD* GPU. You cannot change the playback hardware once the frame is open, you will have to go back to the home screen, then select the GPU, then open the frame.

I select Intel GPU before

I select Intel GPU before opening playback. Moreover, if I select AMD GPU frame analyzer shows me GCN ISA.

Hey Ruslan,

Giselle_G_Intel — Thu, 03 May 2018 22:07:49 GMT

Hey Ruslan,

Could you possibly send me screenshots of what exactly you're seeing? Feel free to block out anything you don't want to share or send it to me as a private message.

Hi Giselle, here it is

Kutdusov__Ruslan — Tue, 15 May 2018 15:04:36 GMT

Hi Giselle, here it is

So I notice that hotspot mode

Giselle_G_Intel — Wed, 16 May 2018 18:42:49 GMT

So I notice that hotspot mode is also not showing up in the top-left corner... are you able to see the 3D Pipeline on the right-hand side of the window? Where metrics are also presented?

I have just reset to default

Kutdusov__Ruslan — Thu, 17 May 2018 08:29:51 GMT

I have just reset to default layout, and now I can see metrics.

Hey Ruslan,

Giselle_G_Intel — Fri, 18 May 2018 00:08:36 GMT

Hey Ruslan,

Looking at these screenshots, it looks like you are not playing back on Intel hardware. I say this because the hotspot mode button and 3D pipeline view are both missing. Both of these features are Intel hardware specific.

Can you send me a screenshot of the main menu (before you open the frame)?

here it is

Kutdusov__Ruslan — Fri, 18 May 2018 05:19:34 GMT

here it is

I tried another PC, and here

Kutdusov__Ruslan — Fri, 18 May 2018 06:06:45 GMT

I tried another PC, and here 3D Pipeline is available, but ISA is still missing. And looks like hotspot button is missing too

Another one PC, here ISA is

Kutdusov__Ruslan — Fri, 18 May 2018 06:39:40 GMT

Another one PC, here ISA is available. I see difference between "About info". On my PC there is no line "Supports GPA Instrumentation", another two PCs has it. Maybe ISA availability depends on GPU model and/or driver version?

My PC has HD Graphics 4600 with driver 20.19.15.4835.

Second one PC has HD Graphics 520 with driver 21.20.16.4534

Third one - UHD Graphics 630 with driver 23.30.16.4901. This one has the latest driver and GPU and ISA is available

Hi Ruslan,

Giselle_G_Intel — Fri, 18 May 2018 16:46:28 GMT

Hi Ruslan,

Nice catch! The two other GFX cards do have out of date drivers. The HD 520 should be on the same version as your UHD 630, and the 4600 should be on version 15.40.38.4963, this is the latest driver version for that GFX card. I would recommend downloading the new drivers for each out of date graphics card. Let me know if this fixes the issue.
