Omnitrace: Application Profiling, Tracing, and Analysis

Project mention: What is your favourite profiling tool for C++? | /r/cpp | 2023-06-29

Omnitrace. Similar concept to VTune and Nsight Systems from AMD: profiling and/or tracing for CPU-only or CPU+GPU workloads: sampling, binary instrumentation, etc. Has more CPU-based information than Nsight Systems and supports binary rewrites for instrumentation which VTune lacks (runtime instrumentation only). Also supports causal profiling like COZ. Supports Python-based analysis/manipulation/filtering/comparison of traces and profiles. Other great tools: HPCToolkit, Caliper, and TAU.
