Name: tiptop Version: 2.3 Release: 3%{?dist} Summary: Performance monitoring tool based on hardware counters License: GPLv2 URL: http://tiptop.gforge.inria.fr/ Source0: http://tiptop.gforge.inria.fr/releases/tiptop-%{version}.tar.gz # BZ 1141338 Patch0: tiptop-sigfpe.patch BuildRequires: bison BuildRequires: flex BuildRequires: hostname BuildRequires: libxml2-devel BuildRequires: ncurses-devel %description Hardware performance monitoring counters have recently received a lot of attention. They have been used by diverse communities to understand and improve the quality of computing systems: For example, architects use them to extract application characteristics and propose new hardware mechanisms; compiler writers study how generated code behaves on particular hardware; software developers identify critical regions of their applications and evaluate design choices to select the best performing implementation. We propose that counters be used by all categories of users, in particular non-experts, and we advocate that a few simple metrics derived from these counters are relevant and useful. For example, a low IPC (number of executed instructions per cycle) indicates that the hardware is not performing at its best; a high cache miss ratio can suggest several causes, such as conflicts between processes in a multicore environment. Tiptop is a performance monitoring tool for Linux. It provides a dynamic real-time view of the tasks running in the system. Tiptop is very similar to the top utility, but most of the information displayed comes from hardware counters. %prep %setup -q %patch0 -p1 %build %configure %make_build %install %make_install %files %doc AUTHORS README tiptoprc %license COPYING %{_bindir}/*tiptop %{_mandir}/man1/*tiptop.1* %changelog * Sat Feb 11 2017 Dridi Boukelmoune - 2.3-3 - Patch for BZ 1141338 * Fri Feb 05 2016 Fedora Release Engineering - 2.3-2 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_24_Mass_Rebuild * Wed Jul 08 2015 Christopher Meng - 2.3-1 - Update to 2.3 * Fri Jun 19 2015 Fedora Release Engineering - 2.2-4 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_23_Mass_Rebuild * Sun Oct 5 2014 Peter Robinson 2.2-3 - Add patch to support aarch64 * Mon Aug 18 2014 Fedora Release Engineering - 2.2-2 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_22_Mass_Rebuild * Wed Jul 16 2014 Christopher Meng - 2.2-1 - Update to 2.2 * Sat Nov 10 2012 Christopher Meng - 2.1-1 - Initial Package.
