DirectX 12 plugin for AMD GPU PerfStudio tool for graphics developers

The Visual Studio 2015 solution file is located at: "GPUPerfStudio\Build\VS2015\PerfStudio-Server-2015.sln"

The PerfStudio-Server-2015.sln solution file can be used to build the following 32bit and 64bit release and debug dlls:

• DX12Server.dll (Release 32bit DirectX 12 server)
• DX12Server-d.dll (Debug 32bit DirectX 12 server)
• DX12Server-x64.dll (Release 64bit DirectX 12 server)
• DX12Server-x64-d.dll (Debug 64bit DirectX 12 server)

These dlls can be used to replace those supplied with the publicly released version of GPU PerfStudio at:

http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/graphics-development/gpu-perfstudio/

You will need the following:

1) Visual Studio 2015 Update 1
2) Windows10 SDK - Please note that the Windows Kits SDK version must be version 10.0.10586.0 
	e.g: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.10586.0. 

Edit the Global-WindowsSDK.props file and set the WindowsSDKDir field to point to the location of the Windows10 SDK on your system.

The Global-WindowsSDK.props file is located at: "Common\Lib\Ext\Windows-Kits\Global-WindowsSDK.props"

By default the WindowsSDKDir is set to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10

Open PerfStudio-Server-2015.sln in Visual Studio 2015 and build DX12Server configuration you require. Currently, the solution supports 32bit, 64bit, release and debug dlls.

The Release dlls are output to the following directory:

GPUPerfStudio\bin\Release\Plugins\DX12Server.dll
GPUPerfStudio\bin\Release\Plugins\DX12Server-x64.dll

The Debug dlls are output to the following directory:

GPUPerfStudio\bin\Debug\Plugins\DX12Server-d.dll
GPUPerfStudio\bin\Debug\Plugins\DX12Server-x64-d.dll

GPU PerfStudio is available in two forms:

1) A zip file which can be expanded anywhere on your disk
2) An MSI installer that will default to: C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD\GPU PerfStudio

Both versions will contain a "Plugins" directory, e.g.:

C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD\GPU PerfStudio\Plugins

Replace the DX12Server dlls in the Plugins directory with the versions that you build from the PerfStudio-Server-2015.sln

To use the debug dlls you will need to remove the "-d" from the debug dll names in order for GPU PerfStudio to pick them up.
