a stack-trace visualizer Flame Graphs visualize profiled code. Flame graphs can be created in three steps: 1) Capture stacks, 2) Fold stacks, 3) flamegraph.pl. Capturing stacks can be done with Linux perf_events, FreeBSD pmcstat (hwpmc), DTrace, SystemTap, and many other profilers. See stackcollapse-* converters. These stackcollapse scripts are used to fold the stacks. Flamegraph SVGs are created using the flamegraph.pl script.
