for identifying
operating system latency within the
kernel and find out the operations/actions which cause the latency. LatencyTOP is a tool for
software developers to visualize system latencies. Based on these observations, the
source code of the application or kernel can be modified to reduce latency. It was released by
Intel in 2008 under the
GPLv2 license. It works for Intel,
AMD and
ARM processors.
As of 2021, the project appears inactive with the last
commit to the source code in October 2009.
