Arm Performance Studio

What Arm Performance Studio is

Arm Performance Studio is a free suite of profiling tools for applications running on devices with Arm CPUs and Arm GPUs. Streamline captures CPU, GPU, and application activity from a device; Performance Advisor turns those captures into reports identifying possible issues and suggesting optimization steps. Frame Advisor examines API calls and rendering data for a problem frame and provides geometry metrics. Mali Offline Compiler estimates shader and compute-kernel performance across Arm GPUs, including register use, cycle cost, and recommendations by stage. The suite also includes RenderDoc for Arm GPUs, an Arm fork of the open-source graphics API debugger with support for Arm GPU extensions and Android features. Tools can run headlessly in continuous integration workflows and export machine-readable data for custom reports. Unity and Godot integrations can add application markers or counters to profiling workflows. The product describes profiling Android and Linux applications, and lists Android 11 or later for several tools. Graphics profiling supports Mali GPUs from the Mali-T700 series onward, but not Mali-400 or Mali-T600.
