KCachegrind
Visualisation tool for the Valgrind profiler
KCachegrind is a profile data visualization tool, used to determine the most time consuming parts in the executionof a program.
Features:
- KCachegrind visualizes profiles (i.e. runtime characteristics) of applications in various ways, including call graph vizualisations and source/disassembler annotation.
- It can load profiles generated by the cache simulation/call tracer Calltree, a Valgrind tool. Thus, profiling does not need any preparation, can cope with shared libraries and plugin architectures, anddoes not influence the measuring itself.
- Converter scripts for OProfile, Perl, and PHP.
- Switching between multiple visualization layouts.
- Call graph can be exported as image (PNG).
- Simultaneous display of 2 event types in Call and Annotation View
KCachegrind is a visualisation tool for the profiling data generated by calltree, a memory profiling tool for valgrind. Any executable can be profiled using calltree without being recompiled, including multi-threaded applications, shared libraries, and plugins. . For visualising the output from profiling tools other than Valgrind, several converters can be found in the kcachegrind-converters package. . This package is part of the KDE Software Development Kit module.
