examples
intel_gpu_top -o "cairo-trace-gvim.log" -s 100 -e
"cairo-perf-trace
/tmp/gvim"
will run cairo-perf-trace with /tmp/gvim trace,
non-interactively, saving the statistics into
cairo-trace-gvim.log file, and collecting 100 samples per second.
Note that idle units are not displayed, so an entirely idle GPU
will only display the ring status and header.
