Open Source Profiling Software

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

(Diver is in the process of being moved to GitHub. Please find us at https://github.com/thechiselgroup/Diver. Support requests & messages sent here may never be seen.) Dynamic Interactive Views For Reverse Engineering. Div/er is a set of Eclipse Plugins that aid developers in understanding software. It uses dynamic analysis and reverse engineering to offer views and filters that aid comprehension and discovery.

Appspy is a user experience profiling tool. With Appspy you will be able to know what your users are doing. Be careful, this may result in dramatic improvements of your software ;-)

SLOCCount is an easy-to-use tool that counts Source Lines of Code (SLOC). It auto-determines the language(s) (inc. C, C++, Ada, Assembly, shell, COBOL, C#, Fortran, Haskell, Java, LISP/Scheme, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, SQL). It also estimates cost & time.

GPerftools (formerly Google Performance Tools) is a collection of a high-performance multi-threaded malloc() implementation, plus some pretty nifty performance analysis tools useful for creating more robust applications. These tools can be especially useful when developing multi-threaded applications in C++ with templates. Among these tools are TCMalloc, a thread-friendly heap-checker, heap-profiler and cpu-profiler.

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.

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.

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.

The Duine Framework allows one to develop prediction engines for recommender systems. It contains a set of prediction techniques, a way to combine these techniques and a profile manager. The framework has a plug-in architecture, allowing customization.

A very simple implementation of C++ keyword sizeof for Java 5+. Developers can use it to know the real size of objects in memory.

JIP is a high performance, low overhead profiler that is written entirely in Java. JIP gives the developer the ability to turn the profiler on and off while the VM is running. You can also filter out classes and packages as well as control the output.

Kieker is a framework for continuous monitoring and dynamic analysis of distributed software systems. Being designed for continuous operation, it induces only a low overhead. The TraceAnalysis tool allows to analyze and visualize trace information.

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.

Developer tool for automatic runtime tracing software errors with various resources. Number of resources virtually unlimited.

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

LightProfiler – application for performance analysis of the Oracle databases. It generates detailed resource profile for extended SQL trace files (10046 event), containing information about consuming of response time (by events, by cursors, etc.), data files usage, error analysis (SQL, PL/SQL) and much more. Also it contain tools for additional processing of trace files (extract session data, splitting files) and for management of database's sessions (disconnecting, tracing, monitor parameters, blocking locks, events and etc.)

Profiler4j is a simple-to-use CPU profiler for Java that supports remote profiling and on-the-fly configuration.

QUAD (Quantitative Usage Analysis of Data) consists of several tools that provide a comprehensive overview of the memory access behavior of an application. The primary goal is the detection of the actual data dependencies at the function-level.

This software provides PL/SQL packages for defining and measuring business tasks utilizing Oracle's extended SQL tracing mechanism.

A collection of performance analysis software that can assist with a variety of techniques useful for application software optimization and benchmarking. The current release provides support for analysis with hardware performance counters on Linux.

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.

.Net Memory Profiler is a single C# class that builds a tree of specified object's fields, their sub-fields and so on up to primitive types. And in the "Quick Watch" window of the Visual Studio you will be able to see the memory usage by each of those fields. For more details see screenshots.

Stand alone Java application used simulate a memory leak in order to generate profile signatures. The application has the ability to generate system (CPU) load in order to observe profile signature changes.

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.
