System Metrics Mali

The System Metrics Mali package provides a simple and extensible interface for reading hardware performance metrics from Arm Mali GPUs. Hardware counters provide a low-level view of application performance. These metrics can provide insight into what impact your changes produce on the hardware level. System Metrics Mali package exposes a set of hardware metrics via Unity Profiler window and Unity ProfilerRecorder API.

Disclaimer: This package is still under development and anything could change on the API side.
