Tiptop 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. * Installation Tiptop is a single executable. It can be launched from any place in the filesystem. Documentation is in the man page tiptop.1. For installation instructions, check file INSTALL. * Requirements Linux 2.6.31+, /proc filesystem. For live-mode, the ncurses library is needed. libxml2 is required to parse the configuration file. PAPI 5.0.1 is required to use PAPI macros for hardware counters. * Common command lines: tiptop --help tiptop no arg, uses default tiptop -b batch mode tiptop -d 10 refresh every 10 seconds tiptop -i also show idle processes (see --cpu-min to define the threshold) tiptop -H also show threads tiptop -W path specify the location of the configuration file
