HI again, Just to make myself clear, Valgrind and Vtune are different. Valgring have memory cache profiler "Cachegrind" and "Callgrind". So it can be used for that purpose. I must confess that I use Valgrind mainly for memchecks, and vtune for to gain speed.
Regarding oprofile, I am not familiar with tool, but I will try it, Baruch. thanks for the correction, Yaron ----- Original Message ----- From: "Baruch Even" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: "Maxim Veksler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Linux-IL," <linux-il@linux.org.il> Sent: 07:32:48 (GMT+0200) Asia/Jerusalem שבת 7 אפריל 2007 Subject: Re: Performance monitoring for selected process * [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [070406 20:25]: > > Hi again, > > As a developer I would start to work with tools like vtune (in case of > c/c++). > The open sourced tool that I know is "valgrind" but Vtune is my my > first choice. VTune is Intel tool that use special Intel hardware > features that helps you do just that. Valgrind and vtune are completely different beasts. The equivalent in Linux to Vtune is oprofile, it also uses the performance counters to do statistical profiling of the system.
