This is a full system Performance and Thermal profiling tool mainly for the Intel Core Micro-architecture but can be easily extended to other architectures.
(Basic support for the AMD Opteron is also provided - Minus the temperature and PMU interrupt support)
Abstract
There is an abundance of software out there to access the hardware performance counters. Namely, perfctr+PAPI, perfmon2, Vtune(Intel Trademark), Oprofile etc. Very few of them provide sampling features and even few can do full system profiling. But what makes seeker different is that currently one can profile the core temperature data along with the performance counter data and easily extend it to profile other parameters. Seeker comes with an interface document which allows one to write basic modules to manipulate hardware performance counters and hence porting Seeker to other architectures very easy. It currently provides minimal support for the k8 a.k.a. AMD Opteron architectures. This is
