gapid
A collection of tools for inspecting, tweaking, and replaying graphics API calls between applications and GPU drivers.
What is gapid?
GAPID (Graphics API Debugger) is an open-source tool suite for debugging and profiling graphics applications by intercepting, recording, and replaying API calls between software and GPU drivers. It helps developers diagnose rendering issues, analyze performance, and understand graphics behavior on Android and Vulkan platforms. The tool provides deep inspection capabilities for shaders, textures, framebuffers, and memory accesses.
Graphics engineers, game developers, and Android/Vulkan application developers who need to debug rendering artifacts, optimize performance, or understand low-level graphics API interactions.
Developers choose GAPID for its comprehensive, low-level access to graphics API calls, cross-platform tracing capabilities, and detailed visual inspection tools. It offers a unique combination of capture, replay, and analysis features in a single open-source package, though note it's currently in maintenance mode with AGI recommended for Android GPU debugging.
