How to measure network performance (how to benchmark network protocol)

First, a bit of background. There are many various comparison of distributed version control systems (DVCS) which compare size of repository, or benchmark speed of operations. I haven't found any that would benchmark network performance of various DVCS, and various protocols used... beside measuring speed of operations (commands) involvi...

Good memory profiling, leak and error detection for Windows

I'm currently looking for a good memory / leak detection tool for Windows. A few years ago, I used Numega's Boundschecker, which was VERY good. Right now it seems to have been sold to Compuware, which apparently sold it again to some other company. Trying to evaluate a demo of the current version has been so far very frustrating, in th...

Profiling a VxWorks system

We've got a fairly large application running on VxWorks 5.5.1 that's been developed and modified for around 10 years now. We have some simple home-grown tools to show that we are not using too much memory or too much processor, but we don't have a good feel for how much headroom we actually have. It's starting to make it difficult to do...

How to Profile just a program range

I need to profile some operations in my program in great detail. Something like cachegrind would be very nice. But my problem is that it takes a long time to setup the data structure and i can't use it for the whole program. It will take hours to run. Does anyone know about a profiling tool that comes with a library and where i can ju...

Tool for analysing and stepping through code?

Recently I came across a tool which could analyse running python code and produced a visual representation similar to a code editor to allow one to step through the different parts of the code, seeing how many times each part was called, execution time, etc. I can't find the reference to it again. Would anyone know what it might be?  ...

Are there non-sampling time-profiling tools for iPhone apps?

I have tried Instruments and Shark to profile an iPhone app, but both use a data sampling approach, by regularly taking screenshots of thread stacks. I would prefer to have a full coverage profiling tool, which would record every single function call and the time spent in functions and their subroutines. This seems intuitively better th...

Is VTune Worth Considering for Delphi?

Running through all the questions on profiling tools, I was surprised to discover VTune by Intel that I hadn't heard of before. At $700, it is even more expensive than AQTime. But before I make the decision to put down the big bucks for AQTime, has anyone used VTune for Delphi, and if so, do you think it has any benefits that may make ...

Are there any good tools for finding usage statistics of GUI, broken down panes and components?

Collecting usage statistics per web-page on sites is common practice, I'm interested in a similar thing, but for GUI:s. You see Google Chrome (and others) collect usage statistics so Google can find out what features people use, to data-mine what seems to "work". A straight-forward way to do this is to explicitly log the interaction wit...
