    Project mention: Bytehound: Memory Profiler for Linux | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-23
  4. dynamorio

    Dynamic Instrumentation Tool Platform

  5. austin

    Python frame stack sampler for CPython

    Project mention: Scalene: A high-performance, high-precision CPU, GPU, memory profiler for Python | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-21
  6. likwid

    Performance monitoring and benchmarking suite

    Project mention: How to Run DeepSeek R1 671B Locally on a $2000 EPYC Server | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-01

    Another idea: AFAICS there have been a few memory-bw zen-related bugs reported to likwid and, in particular, https://github.com/RRZE-HPC/likwid/issues/535 may suggest that you could be hitting a similar bug but with another CPU series.

    The bug report used AMDuProf to confirm that the bandwidth is actually ~2x than what likwid reported. You could try the same.

  7. glsnoop

    An experimental graphics API tracing tool for AmigaOS 4
