Hey all,

I have the pleasure to finally announce the availability of hotspot v1.0.0. Hotspot is a GUI for Linux perf. Right now, it's a drop-in replacement for (parts of) perf report. It aims to be easier to use, but comes with powerful features to analyze the profiler data:

  • summary view
  • bottom-up, top-down and caller/callee aggregations
  • tooltips, searching, sorting etc. as expected from an interactive GUI
  • integrated flamegraph (probably the most important feature)
  • ability to show multiple event metrics side-by-side

The full release announcement contains pretty screenshots:

Thanks, hope you like it. If so, please consider contributing:

Patches: https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot/pulls
Bug Reports: https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot/issues

NOTE: The GitHub-provided source tarballs do not contain the required perfparser submodule. Either download that separately, or directly use one of the hotspot-v1.0.0.{tar.gz,zip} source packages, which should be self-contained.

Cheers
