pmu-tools is a collection of Python tools and C libraries for profile collection and performance analysis on Intel CPUs, built on top of Linux perf and CPU performance counters. Its main tools, toplev and ocperf, provide top-down bottleneck analysis and access to Intel event lists.

Use cases

  • profile a program on Intel CPUs using performance counters
  • find CPU bottlenecks with top-down analysis
  • run Intel perf events not supported by stock perf
  • measure whole-system performance during a workload
  • sample the location of bottlenecks in a workload

When to choose

  • you need deep hardware-level performance analysis on Intel CPUs on Linux
  • you want automated bottleneck identification without manual counter setup
  • you need access to the full Intel perfmon event lists

When to avoid

  • you are profiling on AMD or ARM CPUs
  • you need a GUI-based profiler
  • you are on a non-Linux platform
