In their own words
Optick
Optick is a free C++ profiler for game performance analysis and optimization. Its tools include instrumentation, context-switch tracing, sampling, CPU profiling, frame-time analysis and GPU counters. Developers can integrate it with OPTICK_FRAME, OPTICK_EVENT and OPTICK_THREAD macros. Context tracing uses ETW on Windows, FTrace on Linux and DTrace on macOS; GPU profiling supports D3D12 and Vulkan on Windows, and Vulkan on Linux and macOS. Desktop build configurations are listed for Windows x64, Linux x64 and macOS x64. Optick also offers Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5 plugins; its v1.4.0 release added Unreal Engine 5.0 support, and Android support in the core appears in v1.3.0 release notes. The configuration header can enable or disable features for particular platforms or builds, including disabling Optick in final builds. With multiple DLLs in one executable, Optick must be added to a shared dynamic library compiled with OPTICK_EXPORT; static linking will not work. The MIT license permits use, copying, modification, publication and distribution, and provides the software without warranty.
