Open Source Profiling Software

The goal of the project is now to develop a user library called libpfm4 to help setup performance events for use with the perf_events Linux kernel interface. The development of the perfmon kernel subsystem, libpfm and pfmon has now stopped.

OProfile is a low-overhead, transparent profiler for Linux, capable of instruction-grain profiling of all processes, shared libraries, the kernel and device drivers, via the hardware performance counters.

cloc (Count Lines Of Code) counts, and computes differences of, comment lines, blank lines, and physical lines of source code in many programming languages. cloc is now being developed at https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc

ebizzy is designed to generate a workload resembling common web application server workloads. It is highly threaded, has a large in-memory working set, and allocates and deallocates memory frequently.

Cinemagoer is a Python package useful to retrieve and manage the data of the IMDb movie database about movies, people, characters and companies. Platform-independent, it can retrieve data from both the IMDb's web server and a local copy of the whole db.

KCachegrind visualizes traces generated by profiling, including a tree map and a call graph visualization of the calls happening. It's designed to be fast for very large programs like KDE applications.

This benchmark suite is intend as a tool for the research community. It consists of a set of open source, real world applications with non-trivial memory loads.

TimeDoctor is a tool to visualize execution traces of tasks, queues, cache behavior, etc. While originally targeting embedded media processors and includes specific features for analyzing audio/video streaming applications it has wider applicability.

Madmap is a tool to help analyze java heap dumps. New in v1.1 it supports hprof ascii and now binary dumps collected with jmap. It helps find memory leaks by showing the live set and automatically calculating which objects retain the most heap size.

JRat is the Java Runtime Analysis Toolkit. Its purpose is to enable developers to better understand the runtime behavior of their Java programs. The term behavior includes, but is not limited to performance profiling.

An adaptable, platform-agnostic application incident reporting infrastructure ranging from logging libs and webservice-based reporting to a J2EE logging server to a pluggable connection to issuemanagers.

Volta is a suite of development tools for distributed, hard real-time systems. It includes Cascade, a control flow analysis tool for Java, and Clepsydra, a worst-case execution time analyzer. Also included is a Clepsydra plug-in for jEdit.

SPE is a python IDE with auto indentation&completion,call tips,syntax coloring&highlighting,uml viewer,class explorer,source index,todo list,pycrust shell,file browsers,drag&drop,Blender support.Spe ships with wxGlade,PyChecker and Kiki.

Stopwatch is a simple, highly extensible, API that alows monitoring of any part of the application. It reports hits, execution times and load but can be extended to do more via custom engines. It is able to persist data in "in-memory" or real database.

MySQL log analyzer and profiler. Extracts the most popular queries grouping them by their normalized form and shows the statistics for each group. Helps developers to recognize most frequently run queries to be able to optimize overall db performance.

Open|SpeedShop is an open source multi platform Linux performance tool which is targeted to support performance analysis of applications running on both single node and large scale IA64, IA32, EM64T, AMD64, PPC, Blue Gene, ARM and Cray platforms.

This is a simple C/C++ tool to exactly profile certain functions/blocks of code in a multithreaded application. In particular, this tool can be used to precisely measure overheads.

Warning: Older projects may have to be compiled with -DDEBUG_NEW_CONFIG_HAVE_DEPRECATED Debug_New offers the possibility of debugging memoryleaks, not only (note the "not only"; that's just one of its functions) in a <report-memory-leaks-on-shutdown> kind of way, but implemented using memory-states. - Cross platform + Cross compiler support (only utilizes the preprocessor and template-voodoo-magic for c++) - Supports C and C++ - Supports gcc and g++ - Supports pthread and any posix platform - Multithreading is supported. - Easy to use and install (just include the header and link the source). - Easily debug memory-leaks. - Easily debug dangling pointers. - Easily debug deallocation method correctness. - Easily debug array index errors (when writing past the end). - Easily profile memory usage and track down memory hawks. - Click-And-Goto-Source support for Visual Studio. - Integrated compatibility for new, new[], delete, delete[], malloc, calloc, realloc, free

massiftool is a simple, lightweight tool to examine and visualize (create graphs from) the output of valgrind's massif, written in C++/Qt

mda4eclipse is a domain-driven and model-driven development eclipse plugin. Its purpose is to present a way of using different project sites to work together and establish a shared development environment.

Implementation of Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) for Erlang. The AOP weaver is running against a target set of source files and controlled by aspect definitions. The weaver is implemented as a parse transformation function of Erlang compiler.

ASLA (Automated software license analyzer) is a tool for finding and identifying licenses of existing software packages.

Application Management makes your application life easier. Automatic do memory management, handle and log unhandled exceptions, profiling your functions, make your application single instance and also provide util functions to get system information.

An implementation of the Open Group's Application Response Measurement (ARM) Version 4 standard. The ARM standard describes a means of breaking an application down into it's constituent transactions, and measuring response time across multiple tiers.

Library for dynamic tuning of program parameters for best performance of program.
