Tiptop
Tiptop is a performance monitoring tool for Linux. It provides a
dynamic real-time view of the tasks running in the system. Tiptop is
very similar to the top utility, but most of the information displayed
comes from hardware counters.
* Citing
If you like tiptop and use it in your research, please reference the
technical report Inria RR-7789: http://hal.inria.fr/hal-00639173
Tiptop: Hardware Performance Counters for the Masses, Erven Rohou,
Inria Research Report 7789, Nov 2011.
* Installation
Tiptop is a single executable. It can be launched from any place in
the filesystem. Documentation is in the man page tiptop.1.
For installation instructions, check file INSTALL.
* Requirements
Linux 2.6.31+, /proc filesystem. For live-mode, the ncurses library is
needed. libxml2 is required to parse the configuration file.
* Common command lines:
tiptop --help
tiptop
no arg, uses default
tiptop -b
batch mode
tiptop -d 10
refresh every 10 seconds
tiptop -i
also show idle processes (see --cpu-min to define the threshold)
tiptop -H
also show threads
tiptop -W path
specify the location of the configuration file
tiptop -b --sticky -- a_program
start a_program in a new process and attach counters, tracking only
the new process, until it dies
