Daisen: A Framework for Visualizing Detailed GPU Execution

Abstract

Filter component name(s) to allow for search and compare Select a primary metric to plot the performance metric versus time Select a second metric to plot the performance metric versus time for comparison Part A. Filter box Part B. Primary Y-Axis Part C. Secondary Y-Axis (B) Task View (D) Legend (C) Component View (A) OverviewFigure 1: Daisen provides a web-based interactive visualization tool that enables the examination of GPU execution traces. (A) The Overview Panel shows key performance metrics against time of all hardware components using small multiples, (B) the Task View demonstrates the hierarchical relationships between tasks, (C) the Component View displays all the tasks executed in a hardware component (after selecting one component of interest from the Overview), and (D) the legend bar shows all the tasks involved in the Component View and the Task View with color encoded. Note that the labels ABCD do not appear on the visualization interface.
