Open Source Linux 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

(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.

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.

py-spy is a sampling profiler for Python programs. It lets you visualize what your Python program is spending time on without restarting the program or modifying the code in any way. py-spy is extremely low overhead: it is written in Rust for speed and doesn't run in the same process as the profiled Python program. This means py-spy is safe to use against production Python code. py-spy works from the command line and takes either the PID of the program you want to sample from or the command line of the python program you want to run. py-spy has three subcommands record, top and dump. py-spy supports recording profiles to a file using the record command. Top shows a live view of what functions are taking the most time in your python program, similar to the Unix top command.

Webgrind is an Xdebug profiling web frontend for PHP, offering a lightweight and easy-to-use interface to visualize profiling data. It helps developers identify performance bottlenecks in their applications by displaying function call statistics, memory usage, and execution time. Webgrind is ideal for performance analysis and optimization of PHP code, providing insights into code efficiency.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

Insight, the analysis TechTool for developers is a platform independent tool for viewing & analying run time meta data of applications. It aids in trouble shooting problems, and aids the developer in every day work through very advanced log analysis.

"It's not a tool, which fixes a problem, but the fool using it!" (Jörg Stryk) The M7 bunch of scripts should help the EXPERIENCED Troubleshooter to quickly identify bottlenecks and to develop/implement appropriate solutions. "With great power comes great responsibility" (Uncle Ben)

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.

Glassbox is an automated troubleshooting and monitoring agent for Java apps that diagnoses common problems with one-click. Drop in a .war file from http://www.glassbox.com and find out what's wrong with your existing web apps, without any code chang

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.

TraceX shows x server protocall communication for a selected program. This is the low level comminication used by xlib and others. The data can be shown as raw hex io, or formatted into the individual functions. This program meets the SFF guidelines.

ViennaProfiler allows to compare execution times of full programs or parts of a program. Execution times are stored in a MySQL database and conveniently analyzed via a web-interface. A C++ client API is provided, other languages can also be used.

Orate is a source-level tracing facility for Oracle PL/SQL. Programmers insert calls to Orate in the code and Orate captures and writes run time information to a table. These data are suitable for debugging, testing and profiling the application.

The Performance Inspector package contains a suite of performance analysis tools for Linux, Windows, AIX, and zOS with an emphasis on Java profiling.

A fully automated database benchmark suite that prints tabular and graphic results for multiple tested disciplines, given JDBC database connections. Some free open source database engines are included.

Pprof2calltree-cpp is a C++ port of pprof2calltree to convert a debug data created by APD to calltree format that Kcachegrind understands.

insideApps from determyne: Transaction-level performance monitoring for J2EE applications. Correlates and reports on transactions across HTTP server, J2EE container, and database layers. Pinpoints the source of performance issues in real time.
