CodeXL is a comprehensive tool suite that enables developers to harness the benefits of GPUs and APUs. It includes powerful GPU debugging, comprehensive GPU profiling, and static OpenCL™, OpenGL®, Vulkan® and DirectX® kernel/shader analysis capabilities, enhancing accessibility for software developers to enter the era of heterogeneous computing. CodeXL is available as a standalone user interface application for Windows® and Linux®.
CodeXL, previously a tool developed as closed-source by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., is now released as Open Source. AMD believes that adopting the open-source model and sharing the CodeXL source base with the world can help developers make better use of CodeXL and make CodeXL a better tool.
To encourage 3rd party contribution and adoption, CodeXL is no longer branded as an AMD product. AMD will still continue development of this tool and upload new versions and features to GPUOpen.
- Windows: To install CodeXL, use the provided executable file CodeXL_*.exe
- Linux: To install CodeXL, use the provided RPM file, Debian file, or simply extract the compressed archive onto your hard drive.
Refer to BUILD.md for information on building CodeXL from source.
