Optimize Games and Apps for Android
Application performance is a key design criteria when developing high-quality games for mobile, as users expect a consistently high frame rate with no lag. Testing across a full range of high to low-end Android devices is therefore a must for maximizing engagement and retention. Arm Performance Studio offers free performance analysis tools for mobile devices, and supports integration of performance data directly into a continuous integration workflow. Arm Performance Studio includes:
- Performance Advisor - Intuitive summary reports pinpoint problem areas and cut down profiling time.
- Streamline - For deeper analysis of GPU and 32 and 64 bit CPU counters, profile your game to find bottlenecks and optimize code.
- Frame Advisor - Capture and analyze rendering data from a significant frame.
- Mali Offline Compiler - Investigate shader kernels to understand performance on Mali GPUs.
- RenderDoc for Arm GPUs - The industry-standard frame debugger with early support for Arm GPU extensions and Android features.
Arm Performance Studio is the new name for Arm Mobile Studio. All the features familiar to you are still available for free. From version 2024.0, you can now capture data from both Linux and Android targets. Read more about the name change on our blog.
Features and Benefits
Kick-off your creation with your performance budget in mind and make sure it stays on track over time. Empower your entire development team with easy-to-interpret reports and timely performance insights for making effective content adjustments as they go.
Identify bottlenecks and pinpoint the exact location of your most expensive graphics, in standalone applications or in the leading game engines. Graphics application software code issues are quickly laid bare thanks to the broadest spectrum of performance data, covering everything from CPU to GPU, draw calls and more.
Your game runs efficiently on a high-end Android device, but how do you eliminate the risk of lag or overheating on another? Arm Performance Studio lets you use off-the-shelf devices to determine game performance and shows where profiling would facilitate longer play and a more immersive experience.
