* IgProf is fast, light weight and correctly handles dynamically loaded shared libraries, threads and sub-processes started by the application. * Performance profiler - provides statistical sampling based performance profiles of the application. * Memory profiler information - both memory leaks and the total dynamic memory allocations are available. It can also be used to obtain a profile the live memory allocations in the heap at any given instant during the application run, although this requires a small code modification to signal from within your application the appropriate time to obtain the profile. * When run in instrumentation mode igprof can be used to precisely measure the time spent in a given function with the precision of a few ns.

* The current implementation supports logging transaction level traces. * It has tracing routines for both OSCI's TLM2 tlm_generic_payload objects, and also for a custom Trace object for non-TLM2 applications. * The Tracer generates an XML file consistent with the DTD that defines Scanion’s .scnx file format. * This allows it to be directly visualized and analyzed in Scansion, and since it is an open XML format you can easily write other tools that can read this output.
