Just the chart tool. The rest is actually nothing: a 200 line shell script, which some are rewriting to use systemtap instead. My idea is that if someone ports that tool to pycairo, then we can: 1) plug other input formats, for systemtap, etc 2) make an interactive tool out of it, where you can pan/zoom through time, change filtering options, etc At that point we'd have a basic profiler. If we also port sysprof to python, we can mix the two. So when you see a process ate a lot of CPU a last second, you can switch to the sysprof view to see what happened inside... There's a lot that systemtap enables. We really need to start a small framework and go from there. The recent gdb/archer enhancements also enable very nifty features. The idea being to write what Frysk promised, in Python and using systemtap+gdb instead. behdad > Ross _______________________________________________ Performance-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/performance-list
