Microprofile is an embeddable CPU and GPU profiler written in a few C++ files that you drop into your project. It provides scoped timers, counters, timeline markers, and a live web-based capture view for inspecting frame performance.

Use cases

• profile frame times in a game engine
• instrument cpu code with scoped timers
• measure gpu timings with vulkan or d3d12
• capture and share performance traces as html
• track custom counters like memory usage
• profile multithreaded renderers

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, embeddable profiler with minimal integration effort
• you are developing a game or real-time graphics application and need frame-level profiling
• you want gpu timing support across OpenGL, D3D11, D3D12, and Vulkan
• you need a live web view to inspect running performance

When to avoid

• you need a sampling profiler for whole-process analysis without code instrumentation
• you want a managed-language profiler for Python, Java, or JavaScript
• you need long-term production monitoring rather than development-time profiling
