Hey all,
I have the pleasure to finally announce the availability of hotspot v1.0.0. Hotspot is a GUI for Linux perf. Right now, it's a drop-in replacement for (parts of) perf report. It aims to be easier to use, but comes with powerful features to analyze the profiler data:
- summary view
- bottom-up, top-down and caller/callee aggregations
- tooltips, searching, sorting etc. as expected from an interactive GUI
- integrated flamegraph (probably the most important feature)
- ability to show multiple event metrics side-by-side
The full release announcement contains pretty screenshots:

Thanks, hope you like it. If so, please consider contributing:
Patches: https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot/pulls Bug Reports: https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot/issues
NOTE: The GitHub-provided source tarballs do not contain the required perfparser submodule. Either download that separately, or directly use one of the hotspot-v1.0.0.{tar.gz,zip} source packages, which should be self-contained.
Cheers
