Contributions summary:Andres primarily focused on refactoring and expanding the functionality of the `gpuvis` tool to support new trace file formats. Key contributions involved renaming and converting existing `wdat` parsing logic to support the `etl` (Event Tracing for Windows) format. They also added functionality to parse specific event types, particularly related to GPU and SteamVR events within the new `etl` framework. The changes aimed to improve the tool's compatibility with various trace sources and its ability to visualize GPU performance data.
