1. A system for conducting performance analysis on a frame of a multi-frame video sequence generated during execution of an application, comprising:

  • (i) a hardware engine configured to execute the application;

    (ii) a library capture module being configured to obtain push buffer data from the hardware engine, the push buffer data being for the frame of the multi-frame video sequence;

    (iii) a graphical user interface for presenting an interactive display of contents of the push buffer data, the contents defining a plurality of commands and data associated with each of the plurality of commands, the graphical user interface enabling access to make changes to the contents of the push buffer; and

    (iv) a replay module enabling re-execution of the push buffer data with any changes made through the graphical user interface;

    wherein the graphical user interface provides a plurality of performance analysis measurements that quantify differences in execution of the push buffer when changes to the push buffer are made.
