GPU Profiling has landed in Firefox
- ndesaulniers 12y agoAs a heads up, this looks like it's just for internal GPU profiling for now. You need the Gecko Profiler Addon v1.14.2.
- ndesaulniers 12y agoYou'll also need FF nightly. This seems to lock up FF in OSX for me. In v1.14.2 of the add on has a new GPU option.
- ndesaulniers 12y agoSo, sorry for posting this to the general web development community; it seems like this tool is only useful for teams internal to Mozilla profiling the gecko rendering engine. I was hoping it could provide a Gecko based alternative to chrome:tracing, but not yet.
- bgirard 12y agoI'm the author of the feature & blog post, it wasn't mean to hit HN. This is meant for gecko developers right now as it only measures the compositing GPU time, and not WebGL GPU time (different thread+Context). If this proves to be useful for compositing time then we will likely discuss this with the DevTools about integrating it with the new performance tools being developed. We're also working on exposing disjoint timer query directly to WebGL to let people profile exactly what they need [1].
