List of performance analysis tools

This is a list of performance analysis tools for use in software development.

Profiling (computer programming)

In software engineering, profiling is a form of dynamic program analysis that measures, for example, the space (memory) or time complexity of a program, the usage of particular instructions, or the frequency and duration of function calls. Most commonly, profiling information serves to aid program optimization, and more specifically, performance engineering.

VTune

VTune Profiler is a performance analysis tool for x86-based machines running Linux or Microsoft Windows operating systems. Many features work on both Intel and AMD hardware, but the advanced hardware-based sampling features require an Intel-manufactured CPU. VTune is available for free as a stand-alone tool or as part of the Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit.
