A C# wrapper for the C++ AMDuProf - PowerProfileAPI based on a pinvoke/interop template & uProf CollectCounters sample application.

amduprof.net's Issues

Create uProf Wrapper from example

A wrapper needs to be created based on the example given in Program.cs.

This wrapper needs to be based in the UProf Wrapper file and be able to return an object which allows the user to start and stop profiling.

NOTE: Needs to take into account the fact that when profiling only one profiling can be run at any one time.

Acceptance criteria:

• Show all counters available by the system
• Start/Stop profiling i.e. uProfWrapper .StartProfiling and .StopProfiling methods
• Set profiling duration
• Set sampling interval
• Reporting needs to be run in a separate thread.

Starting example asserts to AMD_STATUS_FAIL

The assertions in Program.cs are telling us that the call to the API is failing, upon running the project fresh on a computer with only the AMD uProf program installed. This maybe due to the AMD uProf driver not being installed or the service required to initialise the profiling session has not been started.

I need to work out what the issue is; case of starting a service or program/installing the driver?

Include AMD uProf driver for profiling

We need the driver to be installed before running profiling. The reason why it was working before was that AMD uProf was already installed. We need to decouple the library from the uProf installation.

Acceptance criteria:

• Single out the driver files required for running the library
• Automate the installation of these drivers i.e. a batch-script
• Ensure this is mentioned within the README (when created)
