ATI Stream Profiler is a performance analysis tool to analyze OpenCL™ programs on ATI Radeon™ graphics cards fully integrated into Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008.
Stream KernelAnalyzer (SKA for short) is a tool for analyzing the performance of stream kernels on ATI Radeon™ graphics cards and AMD FireStream stream processors. It gives you accurate performance estimates for your kernels and even allows you to view disassembly of the generated hardware shader. Stream KernelAnalyzer can be used as a GUI tool for interactive tuning of your kernels or in command line mode to generate detailed reports.

Runtime
- For error-free processing on 7xx-based GPUs, the maximum work-group size is 64. Specifying a larger size can result in undefined behavior.
- The NVIDIA 195.62 driver appears to be shipping with an out-of-date version of the ICD. As a result, the up-to-date ICD that ships with the ATI Stream SDK v2.0 may not recognize NVIDIA OpenCL DLLs. Until NVIDIA updates their drivers to correct this problem, you may encounter issues on systems with both AMD and NVIDIA OpenCL libraries installed. The recommended work-around is to remove the NVIDIA driver until NVIDIA updates their drivers to correct this problem
