Description
Karbon is a Graphical Profiler based on trace files produced by strace
or systemtap
. It has a modular design, allowing individual analysis plug-ins to be registered and used at any time.
Karbon is perfect for identifying performance issues related to System Calls ONLY. It is completely blind regarding the application code. It can not resolve symbols, nor detect software-induced performance penalties.
This means that after identifying the 'hot' system calls you will still need to go through your code and identify were the problem is located.
