Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus profile the processing of a graphics application. Performance data of a processing graphics application is monitored and dynamically presented on a display of a viewer at defined intervals. The performance data includes hardware and driver performance data for the processing graphics application at the defined intervals. The viewer can inspect the performance data for purposes of customizing the graphics application for a targeted hardware and software platform.
