# Radeon™ Memory Visualizer



The Radeon Memory Visualizer (RMV) is a software tool that will allow users to analyze video memory usage on AMD Radeon GPUs. RMV will reveal detailed information regarding an application’s video memory consumption and access patterns. This will allow users to understand how memory is being leveraged and open the door to new optimization opportunities.



## Getting Started



1. Install the latest AMD Video/display driver. Completely remove previously installed drivers.  On Windows, the driver installation factory reset option should be used.

2. Unzip/Untar the download file. The directory includes the following:

   * Radeon Developer Service (RDS)

   * Radeon Developer Service CLI (RDS headless)

   * Radeon Developer Panel (RDP)

   * Radeon Memory Visualizer (RMV)

3. To gather a memory trace from a game, run the Radeon Developer Panel.

   * After making a connection, go to the 'SYSTEM' tab (this should be performed automatically for local connections).

   * Start your application. The Radeon Developer Panel will switch to the "APPLICATIONS" tab. The overlay window in the top left of the application being traced will show if RMV tracing is enabled. If not, make sure the app is running in Vulkan® or DirectX®12 mode.

   * When tracing is complete, click on the 'Memory Trace' tab and click "Dump Trace" or close your application (in this case, the trace will be dumped automatically).

4. For further detailed instructions, please see the documentation provided in the Help. Help can be found in the following locations:

   * Help web pages exist in the "help" sub directory

   * Help web pages can be accessed from the **Help** button (?) in the Developer Panel

   * Help web pages can be accessed from the Welcome screen in the Radeon Memory Visualizer, or from the **Help** menu

   * The documentation is hosted publicly at:

      * http://radeon-developer-panel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

      * http://radeon-memory-visualizer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
