Zoom Profiler

Description
Zoom is a low-overhead graphical and command-line profiler for Linux. A Zoom profile is system-wide, precise down to the instruction level, and captures backtraces. This lets you see exactly what was running, where time was spent, and how that code was called. Zoom analyzes and annotates code with specific tuning advice for many compilers and processors. Zoom saves profiles as a single, self-contained session file that can be emailed or attached to bug reports. Zoom also supports remote network profiling and scripting.
