gprof2dot is a Python script to convert the output from many profilers into a dot graph.

It can:

• read output from:
  • Linux perf
  • Valgrind's callgrind tool
  • oprofile
  • sysprof
  • xperf
  • VTune Amplifier XE
  • Very Sleepy
  • python profilers
  • Java's HPROF
  • prof, gprof
  • DTrace
• prune nodes and edges below a certain threshold;
• use an heuristic to propagate time inside mutually recursive functions;
• use color efficiently to draw attention to hot-spots;
• work on any platform where Python and Graphviz is available, i.e, virtually anywhere.
