Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method for analyzing the performance of a graphics processing pipeline. A first workload and a second workload are combined together in a pipeline to generate a combined workload. The first workload is associated with a first instance and the second workload is associated with a second instance. A first and second initial event are generated for the combined workload, indicating that the first and second workloads have begun processing at a first position in the graphics processing pipeline. A first and second final event are generated, indicating that the first and second workloads have finished processing at a second position in the graphics processing pipeline.
