Real-time GPU Analysis Tools in Vulkan

This implementation demonstrates non-intrusive GPU inspection tools for runtime analysis in Vulkan applications.

Inspector

Enables real-time visualization of GPU data without knowledge of internal structures.

Image Inspection

• Captures images at any rendering stage
• Example: GBuffer inspection with per-pixel value analysis

Buffer Inspection

• Displays buffer contents
• Example: Particle buffer and sorting buffer inspection
• Requires buffer structure information during initialization

Fragment Shader Inspection

• Live output of fragment shader variables
• Example: 2x2 pixel area around cursor with per-pixel value display

Implementation details marked with #INSPECTOR in source code.

Profiler

• Measures GPU operation execution time
• Supports nested function profiling
• Example: onRender function timing breakdown

Implementation details marked with #PROFILER in source code.

NVML Monitor

Application-independent GPU monitoring tool providing:

• Real-time memory usage
• GPU utilization
• Additional performance metrics

Note: All tools operate directly on Vulkan objects for seamless integration.
