Find CPU bottlenecks with hardware counters.
Guides CPU performance analysis to identify cache misses, branch mispredictions, instruction throughput, and source-level hotspots.
When to use it
Use when collecting CPU performance events, measuring cache or branch misses, computing IPC, or connecting counter events to source lines.
Give it a program to analyze; it collects hardware performance events and interprets metrics and source-level hotspots.
What you provide
Requires perf for the basic hardware-counter collection workflow.
