Open Source C Profiling Software for Linux

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.

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.

ParTools allows the interactive analysis of a C program execution profile and data dependencies to facilitate the discovery and selection of suitable parallelization candidates in a manual parallelization process. The flow does not assume any specific parallelization technique, thus it can be broadly applied. The original (serial) C source is automatically annotated to trace the execution profile and data dependencies at run-time. The annotated program is then executed using a significant (but small) data set selected by the developer. The data collected is cross-referenced with the original source and can be interactively analyzed graphically to determine the best parallelization candidates and techniques.

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.

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.

The goal of this project is to develop the OS-independent, obtrusive, customizable, extensible, generic logging and tracing software mechanism.

The fastest malloc we've seen; works particularly well with threads and STL. Also: thread-friendly heap-checker, heap-profiler, and cpu-profiler.

Performance profiler for Amiga AACE/Tao Intent software. Works for source in both C and VP. Includes filters to convert data into cvs spreadsheets. (Compiles under Linux as well, but no Linux build system is included)

Libinstrument is a complete and easy way to do custom function instrumentation for C/C++. The project comes ready with classic applications of instrumentation, such as AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming), Concern and Side Effect injection, stack tracing, exception tracing, basic time profiling, callgraph profiling and other. A GC (Garbage Collector) module is also under development. Libinstrument is highly portable and decoupled. The project comes with a CMake build system, integration with IDEs (CLion, Eclipse e.t.c) is straightforward. Using lazy algorithms there is virtually zero overhead in benchmarks and minimum overhead in execution time. Libinstrument tries to be as non-intrusive as possible, while trying to help the developer offering basic reflection. There are Unit Tests for each class and method, testing is driven with CTest.

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

ATrace is a tracing tool uses the ptrace interface. ATrace allows tuning and troubleshooting of applications without modification of the source or object code and can be parameterized via config files and logs the addresses of executed instructions.

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.

Parsing, interpreting, checking and profiling C application (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E))

CQSAT is a powerful, comprehensive and extensible framework for static analysis of program source code and detection of software defects.

The DTraceToolkit is a collection of over 200 useful documented scripts for analysis of system and process behaviour. It allows in-depth inspection without disturbance of the system.

Diagonal can be used for: - getting descriptive statistics such as mean/median/mode with your program producing a sample - finding a root of an equation your program defines - calculating a fixed point of a function your program defines - detecting a cycle of a fuction your program defines as well as - decoding a VCDIFF file

Dynamic Probe Class Library (DPCL) is an object based C++ class library that provides the necessary infrastructure to allow tool developers and sophisticated tool users to build parallel and serial tools through technology called dynamic instrumentation.

Elefant is an user-friendly memory profiler for Linux :) This project was made possible by the support of SentinelBox (http://www.sentinelbox.com)

Foo Test is a small, fast C-function unit testing project. It is capable of both benchmarking and validating C-functions while writing most of the test code through an easy perl script, and all the developer needed code can be added to a single file.

FunctionCheck is a profiler for C/C++ programs, based on gcc V4.6.3+. Features are flat profile, cycles detection, call-graph, MIN/MAX time in functions, memory profiling, profiling control at execution...

An Extensible memory leakage detection system which can be turn on/off just including or not a C header

Binutils, gcc, gdb and glibc re-targeted for MIPS R3000R and R5900 as shipped in PlayStation and PlayStation 2 video game consoles, both from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

gcov-eclipse is an Eclipse plug-in that will extend CDT to provide code-coverage testing to C/C++ projects by using the gcov program. It will integrate into the CDT's launch and managed build system.
