During May 2025, this developer enhanced kernel trace telemetry in the ROCm/rocprofiler-sdk and ROCm/rocm-systems repositories by adding VGPR and SGPR register counts, as well as exposing additional fields such as LDS Block Size and Scratch Size in the kernel trace CSV output. Working in C++ and leveraging skills in data serialization and low-level optimization, they updated both the encoder and data generation logic to surface these metrics. This work enabled more granular performance analysis and standardized kernel execution insights across SDK and system layers, supporting optimization teams with actionable data and laying a foundation for consistent performance monitoring.

May 2025 performance engineering summary: Delivered richer kernel trace telemetry across ROCm/rocprofiler-sdk and ROCm/rocm-systems by adding VGPR and SGPR counts, and exposing additional fields (LDS Block Size, Scratch Size) in the kernel trace CSV. Implemented encoder and data-generation updates to surface these metrics, enabling deeper analysis and optimization of kernel performance. The changes lay groundwork for standardized performance insights across SDK and system layers and align with our goals of actionable business value through visibility into kernel execution characteristics.
