Use the frame API to insert calls to the desired places in your code and analyze

This is different from Task in that each 'Frame' duration will be a discretely-numbered
event in the VTune output, as well as its rate (frame-rate) shown. This is analogous to
profiling each frame of some visual output, such as rendering a video game frame.
