Tracy is a real-time, nanosecond-resolution, hybrid frame and sampling profiler for games and other applications. It supports CPU and GPU profiling, memory allocation tracking, lock contention, and context switches, with integrations for C, C++, Lua, Python, Fortran and third-party bindings for many other languages.

Use cases

• profile frame times in a game engine
• find CPU hotspots in a C++ application
• trace GPU workloads across Vulkan or Direct3D
• track memory allocations and lock contention
• profile a Lua or Python codebase
• capture remote telemetry from a running application

When to choose

• you need nanosecond-resolution frame or sampling profiling
• you are developing a game or real-time application and need frame-level insight
• you want combined CPU, GPU, memory, and lock profiling in one tool
• you need remote telemetry profiling of a live application

When to avoid

• you only need simple benchmark timing without deep profiling
• your language has no Tracy integration and you cannot add one
• you need a fully non-invasive profiler with zero code instrumentation
