AMD has released an update to its CodeXL unified tool suite for developers. CodeXL is AMD’s primary developer tool for generating detailed information about the real-world performance of AMD Central Processing Units (CPUs), Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).

AMD CodeXL version 1.6 provides GPU profiling capabilities and API-level debugging for OpenCL 2.0 applications. CodeXL 1.6 also introduces a new advanced tool for profiling APU power consumption, which enables developers to reduce the power requirements of their application.
