“I have also done some last minute performance improvements with the help of KDAB Hotspot/perf, and I must say that the days of profiling with weird/huge perf command line options are gone, awesome tool!”
Hotspot is a KDAB R&D project to create a standalone GUI for performance data. It is a replacement for perf report
. Hotspot's GUI takes a perf.data
file, parses and evaluates its contents and then displays the result in a graphical way.
Hotspot's initial goal was to provide a UI like KCachegrind around Linux perf
. In future versions we will be supporting various other performance data formats under this umbrella. You can find the source code on our GitHub page.
The most important current features are listed below:
perf.data
file and the system it was recorded on.perf
graphically from within hotspot. It supports both, launching a new application as well as attaching to running processes.Stay on top of the latest news, publications, events and more.
